Talking football more fun than watching

Fortunately, I’ve been too busy. But, truth be told, if I had the time, and there was an opportunity to catch a match or two, I still think I’d pass.

That might seem like a strange confession. For more than 15 years, I spent nearly every Sunday in life covering a match. Starting with the McKenna Cup in January, there was the never-ending national league, followed quickly by the championship, then the club. And I enjoyed all of it, particularly the awful All Star exhibition games, and the International Rules, more so the tours in Australia.
