Episode 3276: Steelers Sell Out, Irish Sell-Outs, Lions Watch, Finn’s Gifts, Sad But True
The NFL is coming to Ireland, and 600,000 people queued for hours on a popular ticketing website yesterday to get their hands on some competitively-priced tickets to see the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings play each other in Croker this September.
Murph can barely hide his anticipation, but not everyone is quite so excited. Gavin Cooney joins us in studio today to ask why the Irish government is so eager to hop into bed with a potent symbol of Trump’s America.
Plus there’s Lions Watch, Finn Russell’s gift, and Eoin’s buyer’s remorse.
