Former Raiders OL Richie Incognito responds to Maxx Crosby's comments

Once a Raider, always a Raider, is how the old saying goes. And that rings true, as the Las Vegas Raiders brotherhood is one of the realest in professional sports. Everyone that once played for the team roots for them now and even watches and has a close relationship with a lot of the players.
