Se puede ver que las mujeres estaban discutiendo apasionadamente sobre algo hasta que la fan de Crosby llevó las cosas un paso más allá.

Primero, le quitó la bebida de la mano a la mujer antes de abofetearla y darle puñetazos en la cara repetidamente.

La mujer trató de defenderse, agarrando a la pelirroja del pelo, pero otra mujer se unió a la pelea y comenzó a lanzar puñetazos por su cuenta, apoyando a la agresiva fan de Crosby.

Al final, algunos aficionados de los Raiders intervinieron para separar a las combatientes. No está claro si alguien fue expulsado o arrestado por su papel en todo esto.

La pelea no fue la única dentro del recinto. Un fan de Howie Long también fue golpeado en la cara y empujado por las escaleras luego de comenzar una pelea con un seguidor de los Chargers.

Al final y pese a todo el caos, Los Raiders perdieron 24-17.

Ultimately, a few Raiders fans in the surrounding area hopped in to split the combatants up. It's unclear if anyone was ejected or arrested for their role in it all.

A Las Vegas Raiders fan had a really rough Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles ... his team not only lost to the Chargers -- he was socked in the face by a huge haymaker while attending the game.

The Howie Long supporter was decked after he got into a spat with a Justin Herbert fan during the Raiders vs. Bolts tilt at SoFi Stadium ... and the wild fight was all captured on video.

You can see the fracas appeared to start when the Long supporter got into the face of the man in the powder blue jersey.

Apparently not liking the guy in his grill, the Herbert supporter got up and seemed to headbutt the Long fan ... before uncorking a massive right hand that caught the guy flush in the face.

The blow sent the Raiders fan straight to the ground ... but when he got up, he was hit by another couple punches. Eventually, the Herbert fan pushed the guy down several rows of stairs.

Thankfully, a man in a black Charles Woodson jersey stepped in to break up the fight before things escalated further.

It's unclear if either combatant was kicked out of the game over the melee.

As for the on-the-field action, the Chargers ended up holding on to win the contest, 24-17.

Chandler Jones was arrested early Thursday morning in Las Vegas, TMZ Sports has learned ... just hours after the Raiders star broke down in tears on social media.

The 33-year-old All-Pro was booked into Clark County Detention Center in Nevada around midnight ... where Jones still remains behind bars.

The exact details surrounding the arrest are currently unclear, but our sources tell us Chandler violated a protective order, so cops responded and arrested him.

Jones has been away from the Raiders since September 5 after an alleged dispute over access to the team's facility. He has not played in any of their three games this season. The team's 1-2.

Chandler's behavior has caused some concern of late ... earlier this week Jones claimed he was forced into a mental health hospital against his will, and pumped with medicine he didn't want to take.

NFL Star Chandler Jones I Was Forced Into Mental Health Hospital ... Injected With Substance

Published | Updated

Las Vegas Raiders superstar Chandler Jones claims he was forced into a mental health hospital last week ... and "injected" with a foreign substance.

The 33-year-old NFL player said it all happened after authorities told him "people were concerned about me because of my posts online."

"I answered my front door," Jones said Monday evening on his X page in what appeared to be pictures of recent journal entries, "and a group of 5 to 7 were there to put me in an ambulance where I was later injected and I asked them not to."

The pass rusher -- a two-time All-Pro -- says he was first taken to Southern Hills Hospital, before he was transported to the Seven Hills Behavioral Health Hospital, a treatment facility for those struggling with mental health issues.

"They tried to force me to take meds and injections," he said of his time at the facility.

Jones added that the place was not one for "high-profile athletes."

"My first night I slept on the floor and was not offered a bed," he said ... adding, "I'm still confused on what I did wrong. I'm stuck here. I'm very sane."

In his notes, Jones claims he tried to contact the Raiders "for help," but he's yet to hear back.

He also said he's continuing to work out despite the facility's conditions.

"All I know is whoever put me in here had bad intentions," he said.

Jones has not played for the Raiders this season after he was placed on the non-football illness list following a social media rant earlier this month where he declared that he did not want to play for Vegas anymore.

For the team's part, head coach Josh McDaniels has called the matter "personal" and "private."

Jones first joined the Raiders last season after signing a 3-year, $51 million contract with the team.

ESTRELLA DE LA NFL "ME OBLIGARON A INGRESAR EN UN HOSPITAL PSIQUIÁTRICO"

Published | Updated

La superestrella de los Raiders de Las Vegas, Chandler Jones, afirma que la semana pasada le obligaron a ingresar en un hospital de salud mental ... y le "inyectaron" una sustancia extraña.

El jugador de la NFL de 33 años dijo que todo sucedió después de que las autoridades le dijeran que "la gente estaba preocupada por mí debido a mis publicaciones en línea".

"Respondí a la puerta de mi casa", dijo Jones el lunes por la noche en su página de X, "y un grupo de 5 a 7 estaban allí para meterme en una ambulancia donde luego me inyectaron mientras les pedía que no lo hicieran".

El pass rusher dice que primero fue llevado al hospital Southern Hills antes de ser transportado al Seven Hills Behavioral Health Hospital, un centro de tratamiento para aquellos que luchan con problemas de salud mental.

"Intentaron obligarme a tomar medicinas e inyectarme", dijo sobre su estancia en el centro.

Jones añadió que el lugar no era para "atletas de alto perfil".

"Mi primera noche dormí en el suelo y no me ofrecieron una cama" y agregó: "Todavía estoy confundido sobre lo que hice mal. Estoy atrapado aquí. Estoy muy cuerdo".

En sus notas, Jones afirma que trató de ponerse en contacto con los Raiders "para pedir ayuda", pero aún no ha recibido respuesta.

También dijo que sigue entrenando a pesar de las condiciones de la instalación.

"Todo lo que sé es que quien me metió aquí tenía malas intenciones", dijo.

Jones no ha jugado para los Raiders esta temporada después de que fue colocado en la lista de enfermedades no relacionadas con el fútbol después de un desvarío en las redes sociales a principios de este mes donde declaró que no quería jugar más para Las Vegas.

Por parte del equipo, el entrenador en jefe Josh McDaniels ha calificado el asunto de "personal" y "privado".

Jones se unió a los Raiders la temporada pasada tras firmar un contrato de 3 años y 51 millones de dólares con el equipo.

Antonio Brown Compares Steelers O.C. To Hitler ... 'Adolf Canada'

Published

Antonio Brown has seen enough of Matt Canada's offense in Pittsburgh -- the controversial ex-NFL superstar just unloaded on the Steelers coach in a social media rant ... wildly comparing him to Adolf Hitler.

AB has been an outspoken critic of Canada recently ... ripping his former team over its scoring struggles this season, and even throwing out his interest in replacing the current offensive coordinator.

Brown continued his public bashing on Monday ... sharing a picture of Canada with Hitler's signature toothbrush mustache drawn on it and saying, "Adolf Canada."

The posts were understandably met with backlash ... with several users also pointing out they fell on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism.

"Tweeting this is crazy," one follower replied ... while another added, "Yeah, this is wildly inappropriate. It's not even remotely funny."

The Steelers were able to score a few offensive touchdowns en route to a 23-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders ... but it's safe to say AB was still not satisfied with Canada's performance nonetheless.

AB is no stranger to speaking his mind on social media ... but he definitely should have reconsidered these posts.

Pittsburgh Steelers Plane Makes Emergency Landing In Kansas City ... After Raiders Game

Published | Updated

The Pittsburgh Steelers still have yet to make it home following their big win against the Raiders in Nevada .... their charter plane was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday morning -- stranding the team in Kansas City.

The Delta Airlines flight was grounded not long after it left Las Vegas following Pitt's 23-18 victory ... after the plane reportedly experienced oil pressure issues.

Thankfully, a Steelers spokesperson said in a tweet Monday morning that everyone on the flight is safe.

"We are making necessary plans to arrive back in Pittsburgh later today," they added.

Pittsburgh star Cam Heyward was able to joke about it all despite the scary nature of the scene ... poking fun at his teammate, Minkah Fitzpatrick, on his X account.

"Dang emergency landing in KC," he wrote. "I think it’s due to @minkfitz_21 'roughing the passer call' but seriously landing KC."

He later jokingly asked Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to give him a ride from K.C. to Pennsylvania ... as the two just so happened to be in the area for the Chiefs star's game earlier in the day.

"Yo @taylorswift13 & @tkelce," the defensive lineman wrote, "we might need a ride to Pittsburgh."

A replacement plane is reportedly set to get the Steelers and take them home in a matter of minutes.

"This is wild to me Josh and you know it you need to do what's right."

There's more ... but it's hard to make heads or tails of what exactly is going on. The team has not addressed the situation.

The timing of it all isn't ideal ... especially with the first week of the NFL season just days away.

Jones joined the Raiders last season on a three-year, $51 million contract ... after spending his first 10 seasons with the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals.

The posts have since been deleted from Jones' account.

Jimmy Garoppolo Flies In F-16 Fighter Jet ... Pulls 9Gs!!!

TAKING FLIGHT

Better call him Jimmy 9 Gs now!!!

Jimmy Garoppolo took flight in a U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds F-16 Fighting Falcon recently to prep for his first season as a Raider ... and his run in the jet was so intense -- he got up to speeds of 1,500 MPH!!

The new Las Vegas quarterback hit up Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada for the jaunt through the skies with the Thunderbirds ... and the ultra-experienced pilots wasted no time making sure he was ready to be put through the ringer.

The 31-year-old signal-caller -- whose grandfather is a Marine Corps veteran -- got prepped on how he should breathe while in the back seat of the cockpit ... before he then strapped in with Maj. Taylor "Flash" Wight in the "Viper" for a wild ride.

At first, Wight toured Vegas somewhat slowly with a few tricks ... but then he hit the gas -- and put Jimmy into Mach 2, where 2,000 pounds of pressure were lurched onto the QB's frame.

Somehow, though, Garoppolo held his own.

"Let's go!" he yelled in the jet once they slowed back down. "That's nuts!"

Eventually, the guys made it safely to the ground ... where Garoppolo lauded the experience.

Wight said the QB definitely has a future in the sky if he wants it ... but, of course, Jimmy's got business to take care of on the ground for a while first -- his Raiders tenure officially begins on Sept. 10 against the Broncos.

Both victims were rushed to a local hospital, where they were treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.

Santa Clara PD officers responded to the burger joint after receiving a report of a large fight at 11:12 PM Friday.

"I let my family, my teammates and those who believed in me down with my actions and hurt so many."

THE AFTERMATH

Ruggs was initially facing more than 50 years behind bars in the case after authorities accused him of drunkenly slamming his Corvette into the back of Tintor's Rav-4 in Vegas ... killing her and her golden retriever.

But, the former football player reached a deal with prosecutors back in May, agreeing to plead guilty to one felony count of DUI resulting in death and one misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter in exchange for a prison sentence that would not exceed 3-to-10 years.

Ruggs, who will now be eligible for parole following his third year in prison, was picked by the Raiders in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft ... and had started 19 games in his two seasons with the team. The org. released him following the accident.

Tom Brady Going From Football To Fútbol ... Becomes Part Owner Of Birmingham City

Published

Tom Brady is racking up teams like Super Bowl rings -- the retired NFL superstar has become part owner of yet another sports organization ... this time, it's the Birmingham City Football Club.

The G.O.A.T. announced the business move in a hype video on Thursday ... saying "he's officially coming on board" the English Football League Championship squad.

"And maybe you're asking what do you know about English football, Tom?" Brady said in the clip. "Well, let's just say I've got a lot to learn. But I do know a few things about winning, and I think they may translate pretty well."

Brady -- who joins the club's current owners, Knighthead Capital Management LLC -- will also serve as chairman of the advisory board.

"I know success starts with the work put in when the world isn't watching," Brady added. "I know a team is nothing without the city that shows up and stands behind it."

"Most importantly, I know I like being the underdog. The road's been long for Birmingham, but these fans have never stopped believing."

The Blues will hope Brady's winning will rub off on them ... 'cause the team finished 17th in England's second-tier league last season.

Birmingham City also addressed the move in a statement ... saying Brady will work directly with the team's sports science department to share his knowledge on "health, nutrition, wellness, and recovery systems and programs."

"I'll see you at St Andrew's soon," TB12 added. "It's time to get to work."

Brady has clearly found a new hobby in sports ownership after retiring in February -- his collection now includes Birmingham City, the Las Vegas Raiders, the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces, a Major League Pickleball team, and, most recently, an E1 World Championship electric boat racing franchise.

BTW -- Thursday happens to be Brady's 46th birthday ... so, not a bad present for himself!!

NFL Star Maxx Crosby Massive Torso Tat ... Homages To Kobe, Ali & Jordan!!!

Published | Updated

NFL star Maxx Crosby just got a permanent reminder to chase greatness daily ... getting pictures of Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, and Kobe Bryant tattooed all over his torso!!

The Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher got the work done last week ... hitting up Andres Ortega at Onder Ink for the massive piece, and check out the images of the artwork -- it came out awesome.

Just above his right hip, Crosby got a shot of Jordan in the middle of a free-throw stroke. To the left of that, the football player had an iconic snap of Ali put down. And, just above his left hip, Crosby also got a photo of Kobe mid-celebration inked too.

Ortega tells the reasoning for the trio of tats was simple ... Crosby wanted to make sure he always keeps his focus on his journey to being one of the best ever -- hence why he also got the words "Be Legendary" put near his rib cage as well.

The homages to the sports icons, though, were far from the only tats he got ... Ortega also put a sweet tribute to Crosby's baby daughter on his chest, before rounding out the nod to the newborn with diamonds and a rose.

In total, Ortega says it took about 11 hours to complete.

The 25-year-old Crosby, who had his jersey No. 98 and his Texas home state's abbreviation added to the piece as well, clearly loved the work ... showing it off in a shirtless Father's Day snap on Sunday.
