CURT Menefee spotted a crucial moment live on Fox NFL Sunday.
While discussing the upcoming trade deadline, the Fox NFL Sunday cast had jokes about Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell.

The Lions are in desperate need of a new pass rusher after Aiden Hutchinson got injured.
However, the Fox NFL Sunday cast decided that they didn’t think it was right for the team to bring in a new option.
Instead they said the Lions should stay put and continue to roll out the same lineup as they search for a Super Bowl.
“Why pay for a veteran… and upset the entire culture of that football team?” Jimmy Johnson said.
“So I probably would not make a trade at this stage.”
While Johnson was giving his opinion, the Fox broadcast was showing a live feed of Dan Campbell, in which he was speaking on the phone.
Menefee spotted this, and pointed out to the Fox cast that he could be speaking to other teams about a trade at that moment.
“Was he on the phone right there?” he said.
After he made the point, the whole cast went silent as they seemingly missed out on the moment.
“We missed it,” Michael Strahan said.
The crew fell into laughter after that and quickly moved on to the next segment.
While Johnson doesn’t think a trade will happen, there are plenty of rumors swirling around the Lions.
One of those rumors is pass rusher Maxx Crosby being traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Lions.
The Raiders are 2-5 and likely headed towards a rebuild, and Crosby could get them a good haul of draft picks.
Crosby also reposted a picture on his Instagram that referenced him playing for the Lions.
“Homecoming at the Factory and Maxx Crosby field,” the reposted picture read.
