Maxx Crosby is setting the record straight right from his own mouth. He doesn’t want to be traded and he wants to be a Raider.

It’s a crazy time in the National Football League right now. Players are getting injured and we’re starting to see who the contenders are and who the pretenders are. Teams are starting to look for that one extra piece that could lead them to the Super Bowl. One of those pieces that teams seem to have their eyes on is Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders. However, he’s letting it be known that he wants to stay–something Davante Adams didn’t make clear.

Maxx Crosby Wants To Be In Las Vegas

The Detroit Lions are getting a lot of love in various NFL Power Rankings from several publications and outlets. Many people, experts and internet folk alike, believe they have the best chance to come out of the NFC to make it to the Super Bowl. The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with a ton of injuries, the Tampa Bay Bucs are now beat up and will be without some of the best offensive weapons, and the Minnesota Vikings are being led by a quarterback who was supposed to be the back-up. However, the Lions recently saw their star defensive edge Aidan Hutchinson go down with a leg injury that will have him out for a long time–and that’s sure to affect their chances of making it all the way. So, do they stay in house and rely on several players stepping up? Or do they listen to fans and talking heads and hit the trade market? Many people in Detroit are calling on the team to bring Maxx Crosby back home. He is a native Michigander, after all.

However, his hometown isn’t the only team who could use his services. Baltimore’s defense isn’t what we’ve known it to be. It’s somehow become their weak link. They could definitely use somebody like Maxx Crosby. The Kansas City Chiefs are never afraid to bolster their roster but it’s hard to imagine him going to another team in the division. While other teams may desire his talents, he’s making it clear what he wants–and that’s staying in Las Vegas. According to Sports Illustrated, Crosby said, “Honestly, it’s crazy, bro. Last year, there was some trade talk. That’s when I feel like it kind of started, the ‘Send me to Detroit,’ their fan base was all over me. They’ve started a whole pandemonium, a whole movement. I’m sitting here innocently and just doing what I do. I feel like, you know, I’m – I have to address it with my teammates. I’m like, ‘I’m not trying to leave.’ I know it’s a f—ing business; I don’t have 100 percent control of all that, but I’ll say it loud and f—ing clear: I want to be a Raider.” Well, that seems to put any doubt to rest. Of course, the team could choose to trade him if they get a great offer. A championship doesn’t seem to be on the horizon and some major changes are needed. It would sting for the Raiders to now lose their best player.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Must-See TV Shows Set In Las Vegas

What are your favorite TV shows set in Las Vegas? It’s the entertainment capital of the world, and there are plenty of TV programs to choose from.

While iconic movies like The Hangover and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas might be the first to come to mind when you think of programming set in Vegas. However, those are movies and we’re talking TV shows right now! Movies get enough chatter, and now it’s time to highlight the little guy on the small screen. If you’re looking for some TV shows set in Las Vegas to watch, you can’t go wrong watching these 5 shows.

What Are The Best TV Shows Set In Las Vegas?

Hollywood might get most of the attention when it comes to entertainment, but we all know where the best place for it really is. Not only are there great shows to see at the various resorts and stages around town, there have been many fantastic shows that chose Las Vegas as its setting. Honestly, some of the biggest shows in TV history were set right here in Vegas.

Sure, when you think of Sin City, TV shows probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind. There’s a lot more happening here to distract you. The bright lights can be pretty distracting and can lead you to thinking of several other things. There’s the live shows, the residencies, and all the fun you can have at the casino. Then, there were many blockbuster movies set in Vegas that got a lot of attention. Am I too bold if I say that The Hangover (the first one, obviously) was the most recent quotable comedy movie? Even though that came out back in 2009 I don’t think anything quotable has come out since then. Am I wrong on that? I’d be happy if you could provide a more recent example.

Only going with 5 TV shows set in Las Vegas posed a unique problem–it’s a small number and there have been lots of shows that take place here. So, I’m going to have to name some Honorable Mentions before we get to the 5 final shows that actually ended up making the list. Bad Ink was big for a while and so was American Restoration, both of those were based here. Dr. Vegas was an interesting show but has no business making the final 5. I also didn’t include any older shows because I haven’t watched them and it wouldn’t be fair to put a show on the list that I haven’t seen. Ready for the list? Check out the best shows set in Sin City below! Have you seen all of these?

  • CSI

    Not only is CSI one of the greatest shows set in Las Vegas–it’s one of the best shows ever. The Las Vegas version was the first in the CSI franchise and ended up having spin-offs such as: CSI: New York, CSI: Miami, CSI: Cyber, and a revival series CSI: Vegas. At one point, it was the most successful show on CBS and was a national phenomena. The show was so big it gave real life Crime Scene Investigators problems known as the “CSI effect” where people thought they knew more than the professionals thanks to the show. It’s a great show and does a good job showcasing Las Vegas.

  • Hacks

    If you haven’t seen Hacks on Max you are missing out! It is so funny and the cast is phenomenal. It stars Jean Smart, Hannah Einbinder, and Kaitlin Olson. The show has won 6 Emmys including Best Actress, Best Writing, and Best Directing. The show follows legendary Vegas comic Deborah Vance as she struggles to regain her former glory and hires a young writer to help out. The chemistry between the 2 is great. It’s a funny show for anyone, I love it just as much as my parents do. Actually, they might even like it more than I do!

  • Las Vegas

    It’s pretty where Las Vegas took place based on the title. The NBC show starred James Caan, Josh Duhamel, James Lesure, and Nikki Cox. The show started in 2003 and concluded in 2008. The show follows a security team at a Vegas casino. It was pure Sin City. It was a powerful cast with some serious star power! Definitely a must-see show set in Vegas.

  • GLOW

    GLOW follows a Los Angeles actress who moves to Las Vegas and discovers an amazing world of women’s wrestling and gets involved in the scene. It’s funny, it’s engaging, and it’s very Las Vegas. It has a unique cast made up of Alison Brie, Marc Maron, Sydelle Noel, and Betty Gilpin. The show ran for 3 seasons on Netflix. It came to an unexpected end due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Flip Or Flop Vegas

    For the record, I love HGTV but I can’t stand Flip Or Flop (the original). Both of the hosts annoy me and I don’t trust them. Having said that, Flip Or Flop Vegas has different hosts who I can actually tolerate. However, it’s not about the hosts. It’s all about the beautiful homes and what they do with them. Is it my favorite show on HGTV? No (that’s Rock The Block) but it’s good enough to recommend. However, Flip Or Flop the original you should avoid because those 2 hosts are something else.
