Drake Maye tells reporters they don't know 'what they're talking about' during Germany press conference

NFL OWNERS APPROVE RECORD 10 INTERNATIONAL GAMES FOR 2027 WITH SIGHTS ON MORE EXPANSION ABROAD "I think that's just, speaks to, you know, first off, the media not really knowing 100 percent what they're talking about a lot of the time," Maye said.

Key points
  • "He's a guy that wants to be out there, you know, wants to be back for his team and that's what we're in the midst of trying to make a run here and win a big one before the bye," Maye said.
  • And Maye took the opportunity in front of the German and American reporters to tell them what he thinks of them — which apparently is not much, sometimes.
  • PATRIOTS' DRAKE MAYE SAYS HE'S 'A LITTLE BIT SKEPTICAL' US LANDED ON MOON, NASA RESPONDS Just for the sake of context, this is where we remind everyone that Drake Maye is salt of the Earth kind of people.

The New England Patriots landed in Munich, Germany on Thursday for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions and then made quarterback Drake Maye available to reporters to discuss all things international NFL games, and this trip, and the game.

Additional details
  • It began with a mundane question about running back Rhamondre Stevenson being present for the team's practice and working off to the side during the portion of drills open to reporters.
  • NEW VIDEO SHOWS MIKE VRABEL AND DIANNA RUSSINI ON PRIVATE BOATING TRIP DURING HER PREGNANCY Remember, the coverage of the relationship between coach Mike Vrabel and reporter Dianna Russini was seemingly nonstop for months and was admittedly exhausting at times.
  • And the Patriots have been at the epicenter of media attention — much of it negative – this year that perhaps also has affected how Maye views the coverage of his team.
  • But Maye, in only his third NFL season, is perhaps also showing the wear of having an inconsistent season as the followup to last year's trip to the Super Bowl.
  • PATRIOTS LOSE AJ BROWN TO INJURY AGAIN, RULE OUT OTHER OFFENSIVE PLAYERS AHEAD OF MATCHUP WITH DIVISION RIVAL That report apparently struck a nerve with Maye.
