First Take resumes with Jalen Hurt's win-loss record over the past two seasons: 24-5. Why do we criticize him so much?

Drake Maye didn't know Cam Newton was on First Take, and Stephen A. Smith called him out! The only good thing about the Jets and Giants being terrible is how interesting the draft will be. Jaxson Dart is expected back in Detroit. Plus: Jermaine Johnson cuts sugar to catch Lamar Jackson, Adam Ottavino spills on Brandon Nimmo, the Rangers lost, and Gio gets anxious in Costco.

The Bills are the NFL's most disappointing team, wasting another year of Josh Allen's prime, Adam Ottavino trashed Mets manager Carlos Mendoza's bullpen handling on his own podcast, and a Skattebo predicts 12 wins and the playoffs for the Giants! The chaos continues with Stephen A. Smith calling Drake Maye a "liar" on First Take, Boomer forcing Bacon, Egg & Cheese sandwiches on Gio for a "muckbanging" segment next week, Rick Pitino revealing the player he told the Knicks to draft, and viral stars The Costco Guys joining the show to talk AEW Wrestling and bring the Boom—plus, we've got NFL Picks for the weekend!

The First Take crew is calling out Drake Maye for saying he didn't know Cam Newton was on the show! Well, neither did we. Plus, we expect Jaxson Dart to be back this week in Detroit. And if you're a New York football fan, the only good news is that the terrible seasons for the Jets and Giants always make the Draft interesting!

Jerry brings us Ryan Clark and Stephen A. Smith reacting after Drake Maye admitted he didn't know their show existed. Plus, Adam Ottavino spills clubhouse secrets about Brandon Nimmo caring deeply about what reporters write about him. Oh, and the Rangers lost to the Avalanche.

The talk of the town (at least in this building) was Cam Newton's fiery response for Drake Maye's comments responding to his fool's gold claims. What does the show First Take have to do with how upset Newton and even Stephen A got? Also, expect this situation to die down between Newton and Maye in the coming days if it even gets that far. And, a recent article makes a ridiculous claim saying Mike Vrabel wasn't the best hire in the NFL last offseason and Ben Johnson was.

Cam Newton and Stephen A Smith went hard at Andy Hart for basically no reason about the fool's gold question to Drake Maye to which their responses show just how unfit Newton is on Stephen A's show First Take.
