Wife's Prank: Cowboys Fan's Super Bowl Joy Sours
21 Aug
Summary
- A fan experienced extreme joy from a fake ESPN alert about Maxx Crosby joining the Cowboys.
- The prank was revealed when his wife admitted the alert was not real, causing disappointment.
- Maxx Crosby remains with the Raiders, despite earlier trade speculation and interest from Dallas.
A Dallas Cowboys fan was the subject of a heart-wrenching prank by his wife involving Raiders star Maxx Crosby. She fabricated an ESPN alert suggesting Crosby had been traded to the Cowboys for draft picks. The fan's ecstatic reaction, including jumping and shouting as if they had already won the Super Bowl, was intense.
His elation was short-lived as his wife confessed the alert was fake, leading to his immediate disappointment. This incident highlights the significant fan interest in Crosby and the Cowboys' previous attempts to acquire him.
Maxx Crosby remains with the Las Vegas Raiders. Earlier this offseason, a potential trade to the Baltimore Ravens fell through due to a knee issue discovered during a failed physical. The Cowboys, who were outbid by the Ravens, have since signed Rashan Gary. Raiders' general manager John Spytek has stated Crosby is not going anywhere.
Despite trade speculation and Crosby reportedly seeking a trade, he is currently motivated during training camp, reportedly challenging quarterback Kirk Cousins in practice sessions. It is anticipated that the Raiders will not trade Crosby unless a substantial offer materializes or their season begins poorly.
