"It has prompted a lot of response from analysts and fans around New England, with even Drake Maye being asked about the comments made by his childhood favorite quarterback. That launched Smith into a tirade that he walked back just days later for calling Maye a "liar," riling up Patriots fans on behalf of their beloved quarterback, and now we're hearing from even more people in the New England sphere."
"It didn't take long for Hogan to prove just how loyal he is to the team he saw the most success with when discussing the latest drama surrounding the Patriots, and it's hard not to get riled up along with him as a fan. He put things pretty plainly, letting it be known that the criticisms and hot takes said by Newton and Smith are things that "no one [expletive] cares" about, and he couldn't be more right."
The New England Patriots reached 10 wins while facing widespread negative commentary from media figures. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and former QB Cam Newton offered sharp critiques that generated responses across New England. Smith called Drake Maye a "liar" and later walked back the remark, and Maye was publicly asked about criticism by a childhood favorite. Former Patriots receiver Chris Hogan addressed the controversy on his podcast with Christopher Price, defending Maye and criticizing the harsh hot takes. Hogan expressed frustration with the attention given to the critiques and rejected the relevance of the pundits' comments. Patriots fans responded strongly in support of their team and quarterback.
