“Drake Maye is a liar”: Stephen A. Smith calls out Patriots QB for dissing on Cam Newton and ESPN’s “First Take.”

Stephen A. Smith called Drake Maye a liar after Maye dismissed Cam Newton's critique of the Patriots' 9-2 start as 'fool's gold' during a WEEI radio show.

  • Drake Maye told WEEI `I don’t even know what show on`, prompting ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith on First Take to call Maye a `liar`.
  • On First Take last week, Cam Newton argued New England Patriots' 9-2 start was `fool's gold` due to an easy schedule, with observers noting he addressed the team generally.
  • Earlier this season Maye copied Cam Newton’s `Superman` touchdown celebration after scoring against the Carolina Panthers, but on WEEI he largely sidestepped Newton-related questions aside from a throwaway comment.
  • Stephen A. Smith argued that First Take is the number one morning show and criticized Drake Maye for not knowing it, adding athletes shouldn’t perform `in his feelings` when criticized.
  • Observers note the reputational stakes for Drake Maye, New England Patriots quarterback, as he worries about what the organization and his teammates think amid scrutiny of his play.
