Some story alright. He'll likely never player a big league minute but that's not the point. That part of the world is producing some great basketball players who have all been born into and grown up around the game. The three Maguire girls all played years of college ball out there. Incredible experiences and achievements.

You never know though,  he has the drive so could do it. Remember seeing him as a scrawny kid and he was mature beyond his age but driven. Who knows but worst case scenario you'd expect to see him build a career in a top Euro

I ordered two sets of two on release day. One set of two have been delivered but not the other two.

Yes mine was delivered shortly after I posted here. Have yours been delivered yet? Have you seen the list of what is and isn't allowed into the stadium?

Was maybe gonna go to the Steelers game last minute. Christ them tickets are dear. Surely if they were priced alot less been more beneficial to them showing a possible sell out in Ireland

Good point. Would that ever be revealed?

And do they get the food and drink etc. takings as well as the 'pitch rent'?

Lots of activity in Dublin airport this morning with Cheerleaders and Irish Dancers to welcome the two teams.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Worth a listen- if you don't like Brolly he doesn't actually talk much on this one as the guest does the bulk of it.
