'F*ck ‘em all, That's my QB': Maxx Crosby defends Geno Smith after viral backlash
What started as a feel-good youth football event turned into yet another case of the internet doing what it does best, twisting a clip for clicks. Seahawks QB Geno Smith found himself facing online heat after a moment from the event went viral, with critics questioning how he carried himself.
But Geno wasn't having it and neither was Raiders star Maxx Crosby, who jumped in with one of the most fired-up defenses you'll see this offseason.
The viral clip caught fire, but
Geno Smith
shut the noise down immediately
Geno was simply being himself at a youth football camp, bringing energy, authenticity, and some Dade County swagger. But when a short video clip made its way online, critics zeroed in on his tone and presence rather than the impact of the event.
Geno responded like a pro, dropping this message on X:
'Having fun with the game I love but man, the need for clicks and negativity takes away from the great event… This is how we talk in Dade County. I'm sorry u might not understand. Carry on!'
No apology.
No backtracking. Just facts.
Maxx Crosby saw the hate and immediately rode for Geno with a fire quote tweet
Crosby didn't just quietly like the post or retweet it. He went full-on ride-or-die mode:
'You Don't Have To Explain Nothing To Nobody Brother… F
ck Em All… That's My QB ☠️'
Crosby and Geno aren't even teammates. That's what made this hit even harder. This was a message of respect, unity, and a middle finger to manufactured outrage.
The league needs more of this energy loyalty, realness, and no filter
This wasn't just about a viral clip or a quote tweet. It was about players having each other's backs and calling out the culture of twisting good moments into controversy. Geno Smith is proud of where he's from, proud of how he shows up, and proud of what he gives back. And Maxx Crosby just reminded everyone that sometimes the real ones don't stay silent. That's not just his QB, that's all of ours now.

IND vs ENG 4th Test Pitch Report: What to expect from Old Trafford? 'Very, very flat'
Manchester: The Old Trafford Cricket Ground ahead of the fourth test cricket match between India and England, in Manchester. (PTI Photo/R Senthilkumar) (PTI07_22_2025_000153A) It has been raining in Manchester for the past few days. The pitch at Old Trafford has reportedly been mostly under covers and is expected to help the fast bowlers. Team India captain Shubman Gill on Tuesday said the Old Trafford pitch might have more bounce than the previous three venues. However, former England coach David Lloyd and captain Michael Vaughan disagreed. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In the podcast Stick To Cricket, Ravi Shastri said, 'This pitch will have more bounce than others from what one's heard. If the weather is not that hot…' He was quickly corrected by Lloyd, 'Very, very flat. No pace, no grass.' Michael Vaughan also chipped in and said: 'The pace has gone since Old Trafford… (changed the axis).' Lloyd suggested that the spinners will get more from this pitch. Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir's late meeting near Manchester pitch | Playing XI discussion 'I'm not saying they're worried (in these parts, about the loss of sting in the pitch), but they understand that pace has gone out of the pitch… it could spin… The footmarks are there,' he said. Former England batter Mark Ramprakash echoed Lloyd's sentiments and predicted India might play Kuldeep Yadav in the fourth Test. Poll Do you believe the Old Trafford pitch will have more bounce than previous venues? Yes No Unsure 'India may also have a fresh left-arm spinning option if, as rumoured, Kuldeep Yadav comes into the side in Manchester. Traditionally, the Old Trafford surface tends to be dry and abrasive, and to turn as the game goes on. If ever there was a pitch where it would make sense for Kuldeep to come in, this would be it,' Ramprakash wrote in his Guardian column. The fourth Test between India and England will start on Wednesday at Old Trafford. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
