Welcome into the next Pat's podcast, very special episode this week because we have a Patriots mini camp to dissect.

And I felt like we had to get somebody who actually was at every mini camp practice and was at all

the OTA practices leading up to the three day mini camp.

And there really was only one choice.

My good friend, Mike Giarty, NFL Network, we trust his football acumen.

We understand he is going to bring it when it comes to ridiculous and totally unwise opinions at times.

But at least they'll be informed because he was there.

He had his eyes glued to the whole thing.

I was at too many camp practices. Tommy Curran was at one. So our powers combined. We were at all three. But Mike Giardy was there perched under a tree, taking it all in. And so Mike Geri, thank you so much for being with us on NextPats here. Phil, I'm deeply touched that we are back together again on the NextPats podcast. It's quite emotional for me.

Boy, just think back. Phil, I'm deeply touched that we are back together again on the next Pat's podcast. It's quite emotional for me.

Boy, just think back to years and years ago when it was Dan Copen.

Yes.

When it was Gerard Mayo.

Yep.

All of all of these guys onto bigger and not better and i shouldn't even say bigger they they

probably are bigger right individually i would i would say that they if you ask them in a

private moment they probably all have regret that they left us exactly exactly nick of it's like

come on like let's it's not the same. And don't kid yourself.

You know they're listening right now.

Oh, for sure.

And the reason they are listening to this particular episode is because they want to hear how Patriots Minicamp broke down too. So the way we're going to do this year, we're going to try to rapid fire get through 10 questions with Mike Giardi. and I prefer the fill in the blank style because it leaves it open-ended.

So you get a creative brain like Mike Giardis on the podcast with you.
