What's up everybody? Welcome into Tom Carren's Patriots Talk podcast. We're going to have a lot of fun today. You know what? Don't hold us to anything because it's just schedule and this is what we do. And schedule's always somewhat exciting why is it exciting because you get a map a blueprint for how the season

is going to look phil perry you like the draft but you really like the schedule release oh yeah

everybody's favorite time a year i mean it's an important time for us we got to plan our schedules

and all that really at the end of the day it is it is about us. We do have to be selfish more often than not.

And so this is, this is, this is good for football writers. Now we know where we're going to be

Yeah. And we know that if we find ourselves on a Sunday at 1130 a.m., we better get our asses in our hands and get wherever we're supposed

to be because there's a game in a 90 minutes.

Do you carry it right in your hands as you're moving?

That was something my dad used to say. I'm sure there's a lot of our listeners out there who

had a dad who would say, get your ass in your hand and get out there and help your mother get

those bags in. I love that. She's just back from Fernandis. dad who would say get your ass in your hand and get out there and help your mother get those

um subplots we're going to discuss the subplots game by game we're going to discuss when

does drake may play we're going to discuss how long a wait will it be for their first win we're going to discuss when does Drake may play. We're going to discuss how long a wait

will it be for their first win. We're going to discuss the strength of schedule for the Patriots

via Warren Sharp. It's one of the most difficult in the league. And it's not based on last year's

record. It's based on this year's, according to Warren. Projected win totals.

We'll also talk about a couple of tweets that were sent out by J.J. Watt and Charles Robinson that give us springboards into conversations about the schedule.

And also predictions for each game against the spread and outright. But first things first, Phil,

the subplots are myriad, but the first and most important one all season long will be,

when is the great Drake May unveiling? When is the best time for that to happen?

And you're doing a story on this a little bit, huh?
