What's up everybody? Welcome into the next Pat's podcast. I'm Phil Perry, fired up to bring you this week's episode because we're bringing in our good friend, Diana Rossini, senior NFL insider from the athletic. You know her from the Scoop City podcast.

You see her all the time on FS1.

You need to be reading her what I'm hearing column every Saturday morning on the Athletic.

So much intel in there.

If you go back and you read her most recent column, she's talking about Bill Belichick at North Carolina,
