Ask anyone from the United States which city or region has the most distinct accent of any and in little to no time Boston is certain to be mentioned.
Brian Kelly was at LSU’s game in the Texas Bowl on Tuesday night and was interviewed during the game by the ESPN commentators. He was asked about the accent he debuted when speaking at the LSU basketball game in early December and blamed the lack of accents by Bostonians as the recent he couldn’t say “family” properly.

He’s got to be being sarcastic, right? Him saying it with such a straight face makes it seem like he’s being serious, though.
I don’t know his seriousness or lack-thereof but saying people from Boston don’t have accents is about as absurd as saying Chicagoans have nothing wrong with putting ketchup on a hot dog.
