Maxx Crosby got into a big fight in training camp and the details are so intense

Normally, training camp fights are pretty boring. Guys spend three hours a day slurring in the August sun, training for games that don't count and just trying to stay healthy for the games that do count. They make good Twitter video content, but otherwise they're a bit like baseball fights: a bunch of guys shoving, shoving and shouting abuse.

However, every now and then we get a live fight. Once in a blue moon there is a fight that means something. These are the kind of fights that remind you that every single guy on that football field was the best athlete of all in his life. These are the kind of fights that make you think that maybe the guys don't have to be out there in the heat of the day hitting the sled so often. And, dear reader, it sounds like the Raiders had one of those fights.

You know someone's different when they just jump into a fight for no real reason? If you've covered NFL training camp long enough, you know there are different levels of preseason fighting. I'm not sure what *the* toughest version is, but “ripping someone's helmet off their head and throwing them down the field” is definitely one of them. Nobody rips a helmet off their head and throws it unless they're at least a little angry about something that probably has nothing to do with football. Note to self: Next time I'm running blocking for the Las Vegas Raiders, don't make Maxx Crosby angry.

Also, a special Just Blog Baby shoutout goes out to the team DJ. That's the kind of comedic timing and execution that's required after your team starts throwing punches. If the Raiders aren't quite in regular season form yet, at least their DJ is.
