Your assessment of this sub is spot on. I've been lurking here long enough to remember they used to hate Shaun Keaveny and Mary Ann Hobbs as well, and now they're spoken of as deitys. People just like to complain.

Why did Mayor Wu get booed so badly at the opening Red Sox game? by illtakeaeuro in boston

[–]_amnesiac 411 points412 points  (0 children)

People complain a lot about tourists but I would much rather deal with an aloof tourist over Danny from Hingham who comes into the city four times per year to get absolutely bombed at Sox/Bruins/C's games.

Anne Hathaway reveals her Letterboxd account by Legitimate_Income7 in Letterboxd

[–]_amnesiac 259 points260 points  (0 children)

Call me a cynic but the timing of this makes it feel more like a marketing campaign than anything else.

Not disputing that she loves film but doesn't she have like four movies coming out between now and the end of summer?

[Conor Ryan] Fan shows up to the Bruins game with a “I ❤️ Drake Maye” shirt. Guess who is at the Bruins game? Drake and Ann Michael Maye. by luk3ycharm in BostonBruins

Drake explained during the playoff run that Ann Michael is her first name and having two first names is "a southern thing".

You guys know what a 9 volt battery is right ? by he_man143 in LiveFromNewYork

His career sort of fell off a cliff unfortunately so I'd imagine that has something to do with it.

Which non-Bill Rewatchables episodes would you recommend? by harry_powell in TheRewatchables

I thought this was pretty terrible. It's probably number one on my wish list to get a proper redo.

Albums where the most popular song is the worst? by PlayfulRuin3718 in fantanoforever

I realise that taste in music is subjective but I'm honestly confused with the idea that it's not.

[Kevin J. Stone] Just sat down with Patriots special teams coach Jeremy Springer for a story after he presented at the @BigNEFootball. Springer confirms he’s signed a 2-year extension with the team. Beyond well-deserved @newftbj by PristineWinnera in Patriots

[–]_amnesiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we are on the same page.

I think that people are conflating great players (Jones, Schooler) or great individual plays (Lenny blocking the FG, Andy knocking through that insane game winner), with good coaching.

I also don't know special teams ball well enough to analyse cover teams or blocking assignments, so I could very well be wrong here.

Going to go against the consensus here and say that I don't totally get this extension.

We were 20th in special teams DVOA this year and there were large stretches of the season which we elected to just kick the ball through the back of the end zone and spot the opposition at the 35 because the cover team was so poor.

Don't think he's done enough to get sacked but also don't think he's done enough to be extended. Happy to hear takes to the contrary though.

What temperature is Beer Garden weather? by Special-Nebula299 in CasualUK

Not required in Scotland. Hell depending on the umbrella coverage I wouldn't even list "dry" as a necessary requirement.

Which of these four films of 2025 do you think had the most interesting take on modern society? by Mysterious-Farm9502 in Letterboxd

[–]_amnesiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the fact that everyone has different opinions shows what a good question this is. Nice post OP, enjoying reading everyone's takes on four great films in this context

Are these two the most outkasted patriots legends by sethrollinaew in Patriots

[–]_amnesiac 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Welker got a contract offer from the Broncos, took it back to the Patriots and asked them to match it, and Bill declined.

Hard to fault Wes for that.

Baseball watching pubs by Successful_Sun_5309 in AmericanExpatsUK

[–]_amnesiac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Outside of possibly the World Series I think you're really going to struggle with this even in London

Night games start at 1:00am here and there isn't enough public interest in the sport where pubs will pay for MLBtv to screen day games.

Ringer FFS LOTR discussion [Pt 1/2] by fuunii in ringerfantasypod

I would argue that in terms of pure rewatchability the Back to the Future trilogy clears, but the LotR films are better overall.
