    wow! Amazing! thanks!
    Thanks for making this awesome podcast!
  • Brabel480
    Great podcast for pats history!
    Awesome interviews giving an inside look into the past generations of great Pats players. Hoping you can get Willie McGinest and Steve Grogan on soon!
  • Expat Pats Fan
    More old guys
    Love this podcast. Would love to get more of the old guys from the 70’s (or earlier) before they all die.
  • Lou Tommos Wife
    Great podcast
    Must listen for Patriots fans, or for fans of NFL history. Would love to see more interviews with pre-dynasty Patriots while we still have them. The franchise has a rich history.
  • bbr319
    Outstanding
    A must listen for long-time Pats fans. Would love to hear Bledsoe, Vinatieri, Grogan and Stanley Morgan on the pod!
  • tflye
    Great football history
    Any Patriot fan and any football fan will dig this history told by the people who lived it. Great insights and funny stories.
  • castlelong1
    I can't believe I did not know this existed, it is awesome
    You know how on radio row at the Super Bowl 98% of guests never talk about what you want to hear but pitch verizon or sketchers as they were paid to but the other 2% are great. This is the other 2%. Sure they'll pitch under armour or patron, but they'll also answer questions we wondered about at the time. (I look forward to 15 years from now when Malcolm Butler pitches lunar tourism or whatever. :) )
  • Grantas Binghi
    Well done
    Skillful interviews with former players and media folk, digging deeper into Pats history and lore. The questions are always open-ended, allowing the subject space to open up and storytell. The interviewers have worked around the Patriots for decades, so they have a well-informed perspective that fans will appreciate. My only critique is that they don’t do more of these!
  • tennisplayer
    excellent format
    Love this. the format allows for both the interviewers and interviewee to relax and take their time. Morry and Smith have been around long enough where they know what to ask and get the players to talk about stuff we've never heard before. Excellent!
  • VinATS
    Great Listen
    Love the Parcells Era talk. Ben Coates maybe? Thanks
  • southpawo5
    Loved the Zolak one
    Just listened to the Scott Zolak episode, have followed most of his career and still learned new things about him. Loved his locker room stories with both the Pats and Dolphins.
  • Eddie jr Martinez
    Pat man
    Love it
  • bearafat
    Great concept
    Love the concept of the show. Really hope they take a deep dive and talk to some of the players I grew up watching. People like: Ben Coates Andy Katzenmoyer Sam Gash Chris Slade Ted Johnson Robert Edwards I'd love to hear from the pre-dynasty guys who shaped the team in the mid-late 90s who I haven't heard from in years. The Rodneys, Faulks, Bruschis, et al are great, but there's a million interviews with them. I'd love to hear from the unsung, unheard from players I grew up watching

    Terrific conversation
    Way to come out of the gate guys. Being from New Jersey (CT born and raised), I don’t get much on air Patriots talk so I listen to as many Pats Podcasts as I can and I have to say, your opening conversation was spot on from a true fan perspective. You obviously know your history and brought that to the interview in a very casual, free flowing dialogue. I can’t wait for the next Pod, and the next one and the one after that...Great stuff!
