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.

The course at Shinnecock Hills is a 'wagon' because it's dominating every golfer in the field

I'm telling you what, this course is a wagon. Every single golfer got shit pumped today except for, what, Dustin Johnson? ... The course is awesome. The fescue is kicking people's ass.

The 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock was indeed one of the most difficult in history, with many players complaining about the setup.

I'm rooting for the course to beat the players at the U.S. Open

I actually love the course so much, I found myself chanting today in my head, go course, go. Go course, go. Because, like, the course – I mean, Bryson DeChambeau said it was clown golf. That's when you know a course has you, like, beat.

This is a subjective preference for course difficulty over scoring.

Shinnecock Hills is a very functional course, but it looks like shit

I love the course. Say what you want to say. Permission to speak freely. Yes. It looks like shit. It's not a good-looking course. But that's fine. It does its job. It's a very functional course.

This is a purely subjective aesthetic opinion about a golf course.

The USMNT played their best and most complete game ever to open the 2026 World Cup

It was erotic. Watching this team... we've always had the collective doginess, you know, we've been like a collective fist. But this though, it was stunning. I can't quite understand where it came from. The goals were ecstatic. The team play was transcendent. It was like Caleb Williams was playing and suddenly we don't fear the Packers.

Whether it is their 'best game ever' is a matter of expert opinion and debate.

Portugal is completely capable of winning the World Cup, but Cristiano Ronaldo is holding them back.

They can win this, they can win this tournament. That's the agony. And they all wanna win it for Ronaldo. But the thing that's stopping them winning it for Ronaldo is Ronaldo.

Subjective tactical/team analysis.

The four greatest soccer players of all time are Christian Pulisic, Freddy Adu, Marta, and Kyle Beckerman.

Number one for sure is Christian Pulisic. Number two... Freddy Adu. [...] Number four I think would probably be Marta. The Brazilian icon. [...] I love Kyle Beckerman, who used to play for the United States, played for us forever, was just the most tenacious footballer, worked so bloody hard. He'd probably be number five. But you only wanted four on that Rushmore.

A satirical joke answer.
