Hurling can’t be Gaelic football's barometer

Watching the All-Ireland hurling final has only solidified a strange season for followers of Gaelic football.

It is like we’ve spent the summer looking over the hedge, coveting our neighbour’s wife.

Even average hurling games, like last Sunday, which looked like turning into a one-sided Limerick rout, can turn epic in the final 10 minutes and leave you wanting the game to continue for another day.
