Joey Bosa has been a popular name in the headlines lately, and not for his play on the field.
The former Chargers Defensive Rookie of the Year had a memorable meltdown midway through the team’s playoff loss to the Jaguars in which he threw his helmet and pointed at the referees.
Adding salt to the wound, Eagle fans booed him in the NFC Championship and now he’s been targeted once again, this time by an NFL defensive end.
Raiders star Maxx Crosby blasted Bosa in a recent appearance on Barstool Sports Bussin’ With The Boys Podcast, calling him out on the way he acted in the Chargers’ playoff collapse.
“F–king dude had a meltdown and blamed the refs,” Crosby said of Bosa on the podcast. “I see dudes blame, oh, f—k that, O-linemen hold all the time. The referees don’t say that.”
“I will never be that guy. It’s so weak to me. You will be detained. I know I hold back all the time,” Crosby continued. “I’m not going to double over and look like a little whiner, that’s not me.”

The two players see each other quite a bit as they are division rivals in the AFC West. The teams split their games this season, with the Chargers winning 24-19 on Sept. 11 and the Raiders winning 27-20 on Dec. 4.
Certainly, Bosa won’t forget Crosby’s negative comments about him when the teams meet next year, as he doesn’t seem to take the criticism too lightly. Just ask Philly fans.
