Episode 1362: US Murph On Icing The Kicker And The Double-Doink Heard Around The World, Padraig Harrington The Leader Europe Needs In 2020, Dunphy V Table Tennis
Padraig Harrington has been announced as the new Ryder Cup captain for the 2020 match in Whistling Straits, Wisconsin – is this the perfect match of sportsperson and sports job, and how will he prepare for this long weekend of sport that’s still 20 months away? This, we ponder, with Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times.

US Murph is back for his first chat of 2019, and on the agenda this week we have the NFL playoffs, and another sacrificial lamb offered up at the altar of goal-kicking. Cody Parkey is the name that will live on in infamy in Chicago Bears folklore after a missed field-goal at the end of their match against the Philadelphia Eagles hit the post and THEN the crossbar in the double-doink heard around the world.
