Tommy Martin: The only worry for Kerry now is that they're backing themselves 

Kerry are so much better than anyone else that even they cannot be bothered to pretend otherwise. But could they have peaked too early?

“But I do think, right now, in terms of kickouts, in terms of attack, defence, I don’t see another team who are at their level, no.” 

It wasn’t a dream. You really did hear Tomás Ó Sé say those words to round off The Sunday Game’s segment on Kerry’s win over Armagh last week. I know, it seems hard to believe. A Kerry legend talking up the Kingdom while the fight for All-Ireland senior football title remains a live issue? There must be some other explanation.
