The outlet on Tuesday released a preview of Episode 1 that features Belichick and Patricia breaking down the Patriots' offseason roster moves, and the latter appeared to slide in some bizarre bravado during the segment.
"You can really see -- they did re-sign a lot of the players that we had, you know, brought there and had there," Patricia said. "They obviously like those guys."
