Patriots QB Drake Maye earned AFC Player of the Week honors for his three-touchdown performance against the Bills in Week 4, reasserting his status as one of the league’s top young passers. But listen, that’s not why he’s all over newspaper clippings right now. Nope, it’s his cynicism about one of the U.S. government’s favorite “discoveries”: the moon landing.
Maye’s Lunar Doubts Hit WEEI
On WEEI on Monday, Maye expressed his doubts about that alleged marvel in astronautics. He said, “I don’t know about the moon, you know. I think I can see back in the day why we would put on the mask if we went there, but I’m not really sure 200% if we went there or not. I wouldn’t say I’m leaning one way or the other. I just know I’m a little bit skeptical.” Talk about an unexpected follow-up to an AFC Player of the Week performance! The dude’s lighting up the field, then drops this bombshell about outer space.
From Conspiracy Class To Public Airwaves
Turns out, Maye’s got a history with these kinds of topics. He actually took a class on conspiracy theories back at North Carolina! He told WEEI they delved into “Hitler being alive and ‘Are birds real?’ some of the classic ones that you hear about.” And hey, he’s not the only QB to dive into conspiracy discussions. Steelers hurler Aaron Rodgers has done it too. Let’s just hope Maye navigates these waters a little more gracefully, you know?
So, while Maye’s proving he’s a top young passer on the field, it’s his off-field takes that are dominating the conversation right now. Who knew a stellar Week 4 performance would be overshadowed by questions about lunar landings?
