Hey!

0:02.0

A bit of telling

0:06.0

This time, world champion, and there ain't nothing you can do about it.

0:23.3

Hey, what's up, everybody?

0:28.6

Welcome in to double coverage of Patriots Training Camp 2021.

0:31.5

It's the next Pat's podcast feed is getting this.

0:34.3

And of course, the Patriots Talk podcast feed is getting this.

0:37.4

We have double coverage because we are back at it again. New England
