Toronto Reacts As Their Hockey Team Famously Bottle It
They like their ice hockey a bit too much in Toronto. The hometown team the Maple Leafs has been woeful for a long time now but after a decent season stood on the verge of a run at the Stanley Cup. In last night’s Game 7 against the Boston Bruins, they had a three-goal lead in the final period and a two-goal lead with four minutes to play. Of course they blew it as the Toronto Sun frontpage ... »
Armagh Stream Their Team Announcement For Sunday’s Match Against Cavan Over The Internet
Last night, Armagh went where no county has gone before by streaming the announcement of their team to play Cavan on Sunday on their own Armmagh TV website. If you missed it, you can watch the announcement back on youtube below.

This Sergio Garcia Beer Ad Is Worth Revisiting After Yesterday’s Meltdown
Those two shots in the drink on 17 that cost him $700k are now explained via this Sergio Garcia beer commercial: there was a woman in a bikini on a floatation device drinking a Michelob just off camera. »
Man ‘Acting The Maggot’ Attacks Lar Corbett’s Van
We are indebted to Conor Ryan who sent us this clipping from a recent court report from the Tipp Star which documents the travails of a certain Thurles resident named Thomas Colville who on September 9th last year, after ten pints and a number of shots, found himself involved in a clash with a number of the town’s parked cars.

Ulster Footballers Just Love Crossing Their Arms In Photos
When we think of Ulster footballers, we think of manly man, hardened hearts and closely-cropped haircuts. The world may changing like mad, but Ulster footballers remain defiantly Ulster footballers.

Sportsfile photog... »
The Lingerie League: Not Only Lingerie & Boobs, But Also (Occasionally And Tenuously) FOOTBALL
Here’s the Lingerie League briefly turning away from being a misogynistic spectacle to embody all of the things we love about American football: incredible violence and unsporting trashtalk. »
Kilkenny’s Richie Hogan: Intense Allianz Cumann na mBunscol Manager
Up here in Balls Towers, the lives of Kilkenny hurlers often seem distant. We admire their unwavering commitment to all-out victory and annihilating lesser hurler counties in a modest kind of way but truth be told, there wouldn’t be more than 7 Kilkenny hurlers that we could identify on a night out in Langton’s. Which is why we were intrigued to see Richie Hogan out of the black and am... »

Cluxton opted for the typed-out script even though his speech was only about five sentences and featured all the obvious plaudits – GRMA opener, thank th... »
