The New England Patriots have been in the news a lot lately, and not just for their impressive play that made them the first team to reach 10 wins this season. Unfortunately, the negativity surrounding their success has dominated headlines over the last few weeks, with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and former QB Cam Newton having the loudest opinions to be heard.
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.
