  "account": "New England quarterback Drake Maye has ignited a discussion by sharing his doubts about the authenticity of the United States moon landing, despite the Patriots' recent victory over the Buffalo Bills. The 24-year-old has been criticized early in the season but could face more scrutiny for his unconventional view. Maye, during a recent radio interview, admitted to being \"not 200 percent sure\" whether the U.S. actually landed on the moon in 1969. While many conspiracy theories have been debunked, this claim has him leaning towards scepticism. Maye, who once studied conspiracies in college, remains ambiguous about the issue, stating that he is \"a little bit sceptical\" but not leaning towards believing or doubting the event. This revelation is expected to spark polarized opinions, and Maye's stance on the moon landing is likely to keep him in the spotlight.",
  "summary": "New England quarterback Drake Maye has addressed the conspiracy theory that the United States didn’t actually land on the moon, making an interesting claim. Drake Maye’s turbulent start to the new NFL season received a bit of a boost after the New England Patriots recorded a big win over the Buffalo Bills.",
