@garrethmcdaid @lemallon Genuinely no dog in the fight on this, but wondering where you got that stat from? Not aligned with what I see in multiple GAA clubs each weekend?

@lemallon Fewer people watch and play GAA now than 50 years ago. The money has done nothing to improve the game or participation rates. The only difference it has made is to create an elite tier.

50 years ago, every GAA trophy was won by an Irish team. In 50 years time, we'll have GAA facilities on par with the best sporting facilities in the world, and every GAA trophy will still be won by an Irish team. What's the end game?

When coaches prove exactly why they're coaches

@lonesharkoy @StBrigidsRos Enjoy!

@ColmGavin @StBrigidsRos Levi, and we timed it well, only arrived yesterday, a balmy minus 10! 😄

Couldn't be there to support the neighbours today, but best of luck to @StBrigidsRos in Croke Park, hope ye'll forgive our absence! 😀

@IrishNFLShow I hope that frustration is against himself because aside from that poor DPI call, they still would have pinged the bills on his stupid roughing the passer call

Meanwhile in Denver.......

@NFL_DovKleiman This is why Dov is so washed. Copy and pasted my entire tweet and didn’t credit. What a stiff 😂

@Eamonnmoran @hlovo_ Those shoes were primarily manufactured in Clark's plant in Kilkenny, Ireland. So it's a British company but the shoes were manufactured in Ireland

@hlovo_ You promised an Irish link!

Some shoe history 🙌🏾🔥

@Thereacherpost @hlovo_ Those shoes were primarily manufactured in Clark's plant in Kilkenny, Ireland. So it's a British company but the shoes were manufactured in Ireland

@hlovo_ How does Ireland come into it?

@hlovo_ What’s the connection with Ireland?

@rosenbaumlaw @arielhelwani He actually took 3 shots there at the end when I think he was already out. Hopefully he's ok

@arielhelwani Reaves losing, reminds me of Rocky Balboa telling Donnie that time is undefeated.

Early contender for fight of the year

@thorku @NdMuse LOL

@NdMuse Profound words. Powerful message.

🚨CJ Carr confirms that his 2025 CFB season are there were once they are did. He became the first ever to have the first as in the era of that when of a QB and football began. Congratulations CJ! ☘️🔥

The Station Nightclub fire happened in 2003. No smartphones. No Instagram. 100 people still died because they stood watching the flames, thinking it was part of the show. I've retrofitted fire safety for some of the largest property portfolios in the UK post-grenfell. You are confusing stupidity with biology, physics, and catastrophic design failures. Here is the actual science of what you are watching: 1. When the music keeps playing and staff don't panic, the human brain overrides flight instincts to fit the threat into a normal context. This is called normalcy bias. These kids froze to process conflicting social cues, not to post for likes. They were likely already filming. They were also likely drunk. 2. We explicitly design buildings to account for this hesitation (pre-movement time). Fire safety codes assume people will wait before running. In a compliant building, you can assume up to a minute or two before egress commences. Sprinklers and detection systems are designed specifically to buy that time. 3. The reason the time buffer didn't exist here is the material. That ceiling is polyurethane foam. It doesn't burn linearly; it hits flashover (1,100°F) in under 90 seconds. It's essentially solid gasoline. The room would have exploded for all intents and purposes. Way before anyone could reasonably evacuate. 4. We calculate exit widths based on how many people can physically pass through a door per minute (flow rate) versus how fast a fire spreads. With foam fires, the available safe egress time drops to almost zero. Even if they had reacted instantly, the crowd density would have choked the exits before the room cleared. 5. In any normal building fire, especially one that starts off small, you expect a responsible adult to put it out, or sprinklers to do the same. When there's a pan fire in a restaurant, you don't run out in case the entire building suddenly explodes. No reasonable person should have expected this unless they were the owner and knew how the building was designed. Those poor teenagers likely passed out from smoke inhalation soon after this video. If they didn't, they would have been caught in a catastrophic explosion as they crammed into the single tiny exit. They didn't die because of Instagram. They died because the physics of the fire moved faster than human bodies can physically squeeze through a door, and a catastrophic disregard of safe design principles meant they never stood a chance.

Grand auld stretch in the evening! #Tradition

@medolarkjelnick @ESPN_BillC But then it comes down to what is the purpose of the committee, is it the best teams or the most deserving teams. It's super common is sport that a better team loses to a worse team, but that's why the games are played. I'm an ND fan and ND are better but Miami are more deserving

In a weird way I think the committee is actually putting too much emphasis on H2H. Its why we see Oklahoma ahead of Bama and Texas ahead Vandy when neither should be the case. I understand it though, there is just too much outcry from fans/audience who don't realize the better team can sometimes lose. The game is volatile.

Two years ago an unbeaten team got royally screwed. Now we're all yelling about a team that screwed itself twice, losing two games in the worst power conference in ages. That tells me that the 12-team bar is a pretty good one.

@FDSportsbook "Gambling is the next dopamine epidemic to hit the country but it's actually worse because it's so omnipresent it's actually part of the coverage which makes it nearly impossible to quit".... or "man that hurt"... I dunno

What's Aaron Rodgers thinking here? 💀 Wrong answers only.

@NDFootball @taejohnson1012 @InvescoUS @Isaiahdunn22 What's that disclaimer about at the end?

That’s How It’s Dunn presented by #InvescoQQQ - EP 8 This week, @taejohnson1012 joins Isaiah Dunn to analyze his show-stopping pick-six from the win over Pitt. #GoIrish☘️  | @InvescoUS | @Isaiahdunn22

@BarstoolIrish I don't think it's fixed. It's absolutely the weakest link

Anybody else remember all the Chris Ash hate? How are we feeling now?!
