Jeff Fisher will be a great announcer because he's as close to nothing as possible

I'm being totally honest when I say that I think [Jeff Fisher] will be a good announcer, and here's why. The best announcers don't really say shit. They're just kind of quiet, and they let the game just go on. Jeff Fisher is as close to nothing as possible. So he'll just chime in every third down and be like, 'I think they should probably run it here.'

Jeff Fisher's broadcasting career was very short-lived and generally considered forgettable, not a 'good' or 'great' success.

American sports owners like Stan Kroenke and the Glazers tried to turn European football into WrestleMania

And in came the American sports owners... Stan Kroenke, who it's not clear to me actually knows he owns Arsenal... you've got the Glazers... and they've got ideas... it was a bit like that old sci-fi show V where we welcomed in the aliens who seem nice... to try and turn what is precious, what has grown over a century, just that evolution, the history, the traditions, and to try and turn that into WrestleMania was a bit dark.

The European Super League's attempt to create a closed, American-style league was widely condemned for ignoring traditional meritocracy (promotion/relegation).

Neymar's flopping is actually a profile in courage and bravery

I think it's so harsh on Neymar. I mean, I see him as a profiling courage and bravery. I just see the pain, the agony, I mean, just the savage damage that is done to his body... he loses limbs in the game... Neymar gets up when he's broken, had his leg broken, and he says, don't worry, lads, I'm going to brush this off.

Neymar's frequent diving is a matter of intense debate, but the physical 'limb loss' Roger describes is obviously not literal.

Liverpool is the Baltimore of England

Liverpool was a dark place, burning itself down. A bit like Baltimore. It's the Baltimore of England. ... And when I grew up, it was burning itself down under Margaret Thatcher.

A subjective cultural and socioeconomic comparison between two cities.
