"During a recent appearance on WEEI, Maye said he didn't know what show Newton was on, adding that he was more worried about what goes on within the Patriots' organization than what people on TV have to say. On Thursday morning, Stephen A. Smith responded to Maye during "First Take," the show on which Newton made his comments. Ryan Clark was praising Maye for his dynamic play-style and talking about how he believed the Patriots had enough talent to make the AFC championship when Smith jumped in."
""He's also a liar. First of all, let me tell you. Not to brag. Listen," Smith said. "Pardon the Interruption is the No. 1 show on ESPN spanning twenty-plus [years]. First Take is the No. 1 morning show 13 years and counting, April will be 14 years." "Don't tell me you're an athlete and you don't know that," Smith continued. "Don't tell me you're an athlete and you don't know that Cam Newton is on this show. You're lying.""
Drake Maye said he did not know which show Cam Newton appeared on and said he cared more about internal Patriots matters than television commentary. Stephen A. Smith responded angrily on First Take, called Maye a liar and defended First Take and Pardon the Interruption as leading ESPN programs. Smith insisted athletes know when major ESPN shows feature NFL figures like Cam Newton. Newton joined ESPN last October after playing with the Panthers through 2021 and spending 2020 with the Patriots. Maye grew up a Newton fan in Huntersville, North Carolina. The exchange followed Newton's comments that the Patriots looked like "fools gold."
