Episode 1397: It’s Limerick’s World, The Rest Of Hurling Just Live In It; Colin Kaepernick Settles Lawsuit With The NFL, But Who Wins?
Limerick ended 2018 as All-Ireland champions for the first time in 45 years, and they’ve started 2019 in menacing fashion – beating Wexford away before hammering Tipperary and Kilkenny in successive games.

Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times, and former Limerick captain Donal O’Grady are on the show trying to figure out if Limerick are going all-out for league glory, or if it’s a case of them water-skiing on the good vibes of last August. And we discuss Jackie Tyrrell’s assertion that they’re not in the top 3 teams in the country – gross blasphemy, or something even worse than that?

We had a brilliant chat with Howard Bryant about his book “The Heritage: Black Athletes, a Divided America, and the Politics of Patriotism” late last year, and he’s back on the show today to talk to us about the news that Colin Kaepernick has settled his collusion lawsuit against the NFL. What do we think of Kaepernick now, will he play again, and… who won?

We ask @emmetmalonejust how upset we’re allowed get over this manipulation of the existing international eligibility rules, given our history, and just how much good luck do we actually wish Rice as he embarks on his international career?

John Morrison was a truly maverick GAA coach, in a game and in a sporting organisation that doesn’t often trust mavericks. One of his most successful acolytes @TurloughCarlow gives us his memories.https://t.co/eZTXuAdoN8 pic.twitter.com/fdvmcEEjSf
