Except the Dublin-Mayo games they were very entertaining.
Not all of them. I was at the final in 2013 between the 2 and it was boring and putrid enough. Their semi final meetings were far more exciting.
Some Kerry kid off to Georgia Tech on scholarship. Punting.
He has the American accent anyway before he goes.

Going by the cut of him he’ll not be a loss to Kerry football anyway.
At this stage none of the top 10 bogballers play it
The hillbillies will be voting him in their greatest ever bogball team in about 10 years time.
There was a clip there on the news and he just seemed to be hoofing a series of balls into a field beside the house. Apparently there’s a designated person to do this hoofing on an American Football team. Anyways I hope he makes it.
The hoofer yes. A team without a solid hoofer has no hoof game.
Best of luck to the chap, hope it works out. Could be an interesting door if it opens.
Best of luck to x in y. That’s the most inane post ever committed to the internet.
Some awful Irish bitterness on display here. Paddy and Mick really hate when Irish lads are successful

It’s not unexpected for here but sad to see nonetheless. This is why we can’t have nice things
Task number one for Kerry boy in the American “football” league. Eat a plate full of drugs. Carry on.
Irish people with an interest in American rugby is funny.
Waffling on about Tony Brady and the likes, lolz.

He’s only going to be a kicker, don’t need the juice for that
Signing in…
If I wasted years obsessing over a sport where grown men roll around crying pretending to be injured I’d be bitter and jealous of real sport too
Gas how lads can get so triggered by other people enjoying a sport
