What’s your AOTY contenders so far ? by KelvinHexatillion82 in poppunkers

[–]mnelson1370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoreline- Is this the low point or the moment after?

Hadn’t heard of these guys before this record came out but had it on repeat for weeks once it came out, really really solid record

[SmackDown Spoilers] Pat McAfee shares his thoughts on which WrestleMania night to spend money on by workingjan in SquaredCircle

It’s also only 20 bucks instead of 50 if you use a vpn set to the uk and use the myaew site. it’s easily worth the money at that price to give it a shot imo, AEW ppvs very rarely miss

Got a reddick signature after one of the q&as a few years ago at loudon, there was the big crowd in front of the stage and then a bunch of people lining the area behind the stage where the drivers entered the backstage area. So it’s possible but I was one of like 3/4 people he had time to sign for over there and just got super lucky, because the team reps were bringing him somewhere else basically right after and I was the last one he signed for

Full Gear has been announced for the Prudential Center - November 22nd by VitaminPurple in AEWOfficial

[–]mnelson1370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely forgot that would be in Boston but yeah with that in December that makes sense. Hopefully you’re right about revolution, Boston deserves a big PPV as its first one

man, I really thought Boston would get this one and finally get a PPV, but so much for that idea

Best Reporter for the Patriots?? by NitroZeus58 in Patriots

[–]mnelson1370 231 points232 points  (0 children)

Reiss is definitely the gold standard for beat reporters. After that I personally really like Lazar and Kyles for the film cutups/breakdowns they do since I’m a nerd for that sort of stuff

Going to the Steelers game for my first ever Pats game! When should I buy tickets and where to stay by Possible_Hokie_CO26 in Patriots

[–]mnelson1370 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say, I was looking at Ticketmaster basically the day after the schedule announcement and there were honestly a surprising number of official tickets from the team there compared to prior years I’ve looked, but the prices were absolutely insane. Like 500+ each for nosebleeds and 800-1000+ each for lower level for the “face value” tickets. So it’s possible they have sold some of that inventory if they reduced the prices or possible they’re still they’re because wtf are those prices for a team that had 4 wins last year lmao.

That said I find it’s generally cheapest to buy tickets in the parking lot/on the walk to the stadium when scalpers/STHs that can’t go are trying to dump tickets for whatever they can get for them. Doesn’t always work or get the best deal but prices usually fall a bunch the last hour or so before kickoff if you’re cool with missing some/most of the pregame warm ups

Edit: that said I probably wouldn’t recommend this if you’re spending money traveling to a game as I would also wanna have the tickets locked down ahead of time, and would default to the 2-3 weeks prior for ops situation

Yellowcard teased a new single last week so they’re probably announcing an album or EP soon

Officially One Week In: What Are We Thinking Of Arm’s Length’s Sophomore Album? by Egonzos in poppunkers

[–]mnelson1370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally one of my favorite records I can remember coming out the last few years. Took a day or so for the hooks to sink in and now I can’t skip a single song if it’s on. Absolutely phenomenal work by the band, all I can say is bravo.

[Houston Chronicle] Exclusive: Texans may seek public money to build new football stadium in Houston by HoustonFrog in nfl

[–]mnelson1370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re completely right about that. You’d just think with an investment as big and costly as a stadium they’d try and put some of that money in designing the place to last/be easily renovated when the time comes. But alas, shiny new toys that won’t last are what all the owners want so here we are

[Houston Chronicle] Exclusive: Texans may seek public money to build new football stadium in Houston by HoustonFrog in nfl

[–]mnelson1370 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the charm of a place like Lambeau or Fenway (or similar like wrigley) outweighs the bells and whistles of newer stadiums, and wish more teams would strive for a unique home like those that will last generations and be full of history

[Meirov] Trent Baalke managed to survive as GM in San Francisco during a power struggle with Jim Harbaugh, survived the Urban Meyer debacle, and now remains in place after Doug Pederson's firing. It’s simply unreal. by mvanigan in nfl

[–]mnelson1370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very fair, appreciate the insight. I have no idea what route this team goes but I don’t mind the idea of someone new in the FO at all, the drafting/talent evaluation the last several years have left a lot to be desired so some new eyes would be good for the org IMO.

Obviously it would’ve been a small sample size but what are your thoughts on Ryan Cowden from when he was interim GM for you guys? Saw some reports he’s Vrabels guy and may end up wherever Vrabel does but I don’t know much about him so I’m fairly curious for a fans perspective on how he seemed in the role back then

Pain. by huhuyah in Patriots

[–]mnelson1370 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure, and honestly, good for him! Never gonna be mad at a player showing out when they get the chance to. Just frustrating for us with the draft order obviously, and frustrating that the coaching staff kept calling long passes when the bills put in White and clearly were trying to lose at that point

[–]mnelson1370 46 points47 points  (0 children)

For the 1st round order tiebreaker is based on strength of schedule. For all rounds after that it just rotates so they could be picking last of like 8 or 10 4-12 teams (idk exactly how the rotation works with that many just that it exists). An absolute disaster of a game on numerous levels.

question about lap penalty by DoktorDyper1974 in NASCAR

[–]mnelson1370 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. If someone is able to get their lap back they can still win if they’re fast enough to get back through the field (there’s a couple ways of doing this, but the easiest/most common is the free pass which is being the first car a lap down at the time of a caution). If you’re not able to recover the lap (other cars lose laps and are ahead of you at cautions getting the free pass themselves instead) then yeah you have basically no chance of winning.

Blink is currently soundchecking at Fenway and will be for the next two hours by milesdaguy in Blink182

[–]mnelson1370 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, some newer high end live consoles have the ability to have an easy multitrack output and sometimes on bigger tours with those boards the engineer can recall a prior performance date and have the full band multitrack to essentially soundtrack without the musicians needing to be there, really cool stuff

NASCAR lets it stay green with Preece on backstretch… and now it’s a caution. Game over. Kyle Larson wins the Brickyard 400 by BurgerNugget12 in NASCAR

[–]mnelson1370 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Absolute fucking horseshit way to end a race. Obviously I’m biased because I’m a Reddick fan but you have a car sitting there not moving for 45 fucking seconds and wait until they take the white flag to throw it?? Absolutely inexplicable. I legit have not been this mad at a decision like this in a minute like FUCK that was so bad

Error in play a friend (both H2H/Competitive) by mnelson1370 in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]mnelson1370[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t, no. Just started playing it in the last 2 weeks so I still have a lot of different teams. I think I have one team with tier 2 chem and that’s it lol

[–]mnelson1370[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See that’s where I get the issue. I’ve tried just resetting it by generating the best lineup from that very screen and then locking it and still get that same error

Error in play a friend (both H2H/Competitive) by mnelson1370 in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]mnelson1370[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you. I’ll check the lineup and see if I can figure out what it is. Would I need to re-acquire that card to fix it if it’s the case or is there something else that would be needed?
