Nothing sums up the beautiful mix of hope and stupidity that is sports fandom quite like a season preview that begins by asking if “this could be the most dramatic season of X we’ve ever seen?” But… could this be the most dramatic All-Ireland senior football championship we’ve ever seen?

Paul Flynn and Oisin McConville are in-studio and ready to give us their likely winners; their dark horses; and their wildly divergent opinions on Monaghan. We also address listener concerns about anti-Louth bias, a McTepid take for the new GAA season, and showing faith in Evan Ferguson.
