The Las Vegas Raiders have had more than just a few cases of drama this season so far. All last week, when the Raiders fired Josh McDaniels and anyone who represented the "Patriots way," they were let go. Mark Davis finally pulled the trigger.

But the biggest rumors came when a report suggested that Josh McDaniels and Antonio Pierce got into it when Pierce was talking trash about the Patriots. Pierce's 2007 New York Giants beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl that year. So, I'm sure there is a tad bit of animosity.

There have been a ton of other rumors, too, but that one is the one that has stood out the best. Recently, Maxx Crosby addressed the rumor and shut it down quickly.

"I don't know where that came from," Crosby said on the Bussin' With the Boys Podcast. "Or where he heard that, but that's, he didn't stand up and be like 'AP, you can't talk about the Patriots. That's false. But it was very real. Basically, every captain, every leader, everyone that had something to say went up and said their peace. 

"Everyone was honest. It is what it is, you know. Coach McDaniels called us in, and he wanted to do it. It was probably one of the realest meetings I have ever had in my life. Sh*t got real, and there was a lot of emotion. The fact that they even got out is irritating."

Now that Crosby shut it down, and remember, he has no reason to shut it down really, as he gains nothing from doing that, we can all move on.
