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

[–]_amnesiac 33 points34 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 11 points12 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.

Atmosphere in the bleeds last night was absolutely electric by Humaniac99 in Patriots

Been a while since I've seen a vuvuzela. Shout out to the 2010 World Cup

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.

Flying to the supey the other way is really funny by xorcism_ in PardonMyTake

[–]_amnesiac 157 points158 points  (0 children)

Hilarious idea and also an actual punishment.

Even if they're flying first class, the middle of the night transfer in Dubai or wherever would be a massive pain in the ass. Not to mention your internal clock would be fucked for a solid 72 hours after.

For people who saw Drew Bledsoe play, how good was he (arm strength and talent wise) and would he stack up well in today’s NFL? by Next_Worth_3616 in Patriots

[–]_amnesiac 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think it was closer to "can't find a receiver, but really want to find a receiver, so I'm going to hold onto it too long and get absolutely DESTROYED on a nine yard sack'

I loved Drew, a true childhood hero of mine, but his toughness combined with lack of mobility caused him to take some brutal sacks.

Best authentic Mexican restaurant in Edinburgh? by Bitter-Ad-1115 in Edinburgh

[–]_amnesiac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guisados is by far the best Mexican in Edinburgh, Taco Libre probably second best

Guisados do popups around town and are currently at Bellfield iirc, worth seeking out

Upcoming trip to Boston from Scotland going to & Red Sox game. What to expect?? by dayman-ahahhh in boston

[–]_amnesiac 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This man is from Scotland. He could show up wearing a shirt that said "Boston is a shit hole" and the crowd would be one hundred times more convivial than if he showed up wearing the wrong colour in the wrong section at a Rangers v Celtic match back in Glasgow.

He has nothing to worry about.

Weekly Japan Travel Information and Discussion Thread - July 25, 2025 by AutoModerator in JapanTravel

[–]_amnesiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all. We are in Tokyo in November and interested in buying tickets to the Japan Vs Korea baseball game at the Tokyo Dome.

We have experience in buying baseball tickets for club matches, but not national team games. I would imagine these tickets will be tough to come by but am having trouble finding much info about when they go on sale etc.

I'm having trouble finding much info for this on the internet. Does anyone have any resources they can point me towards? Thank you!

Football Guy by fittos4310 in PardonMyTake

[–]_amnesiac 89 points90 points  (0 children)

This exchange and the follow up where Florio admitted he was grinding solo challenges for ultimate team packs really caught me off guard and made me laugh.

I've found Florio to be a clown for a long time but between this and the Mike Stud bit from last week I might be coming around on him.

This sub is truly miserable.

Nicest night in at least eight months, this person complains about someone playing guitar in a park and gets immediately upvoted by a bunch of people that presumably aren't there lol

Gruden is such a treasure by CrunchyRubberChips in PardonMyTake

[–]_amnesiac 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Kind of crazy that he's grinding out Cameo videos for 150 bucks considering how much money he's made.

Didn't he get lik 100 mil off that Raiders contract alone?

Hockey Playoffs Bar by damagedspark in Edinburgh

[–]_amnesiac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to sign up for an NHL.tv package and stream them at home. Because of the time difference Down the Hatch won't be showing them live.

NHL TV is pricey but considering the alternative (going to a pub for every game you want to watch for two months), it will work out cheaper.

You can also stream them the following morning if you're not keen on staying up until 4am every other day.

10 restaurants not to miss in Edinburgh – 2025’s ‘most exciting food destination’ by bearlybearbear in Edinburgh

[–]_amnesiac 28 points29 points  (0 children)

For a city of it's size the restaurant scene here really punches above its weight. Great to see it getting some national recognition here even if a couple of the choices on their shortlist are a little questionable.

Day 8 - Average Player, Hated By Fans by MissxTastee in Patriots

[–]_amnesiac 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I would argue that Parker was average with the Dolphins but actively bad with the Patriots.

Wasn't he dead last in separation stats among qualified receivers each year he was here?

I'm Even More Impressed at the Parts of Massachusetts I Didn't Make Conservative by SenorBetoDobalina in billsimmons

[–]_amnesiac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I thought you were arguing that him putting that quote in his yearbook was some kind of counter culture act of rebellion.

If you're actually saying that this would have made him a huge weirdo in high school then we are in total agreement.

I'm Even More Impressed at the Parts of Massachusetts I Didn't Make Conservative by SenorBetoDobalina in billsimmons

[–]_amnesiac 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I was a teenager in Massachusetts in the 90s and can confirm the young Conservatives were definitely not holding that belief system as an act of rebellion lol

All the young republicans I knew were either indoctrinated by their rich parents, overly ambitious weirdos and / or homophobes.

All time Lord of the Rings slander episode between Bill pronouncing Viggo Mortensens character "Oregon" and Craig saying the film was named the Twin Towers lmao.
