GAA should play the numbers game

NFL star JJ Watt was in Dublin late last week. We’re happy to report that Ireland’s reputation as the land of a thousand welcomes remains intact.

As Watt revealed on his Instagram account (@justinjames99), the good people in Guinness brewed a special batch of stout in his honour, naming it “99” after his Houston Texans’ jersey number.

A phenomenal athlete, the number has become synonymous with the 26-year-old so much so that it has become part of his brand.
