one of the best parts of Open Week is how much time and energy is spent shitting on American golf. every other hole is a reference like "if he had this shot on a US course it'd be easy, but NOT HERE"
football: we’re an extremely important, multi-billion dollar industry

Haley joining The Ringer gave me one of my absolute best friends in this life, and for that I’m forever grateful. Don’t think you leaving means you can skirt my trash Wolves takes, though.
hi! today is my last day at the ringer. it’s been a delight working with so many thoughtful and brilliant people over the last four years. i was 22 and waiting tables in kentucky when they called me - i’ll be grateful always, to the ringer and to any of you who followed along ❤️
