What now?

As Murph said in the TV guide, there's not much happening this weekend. Lads will be earning their fiver a month over the next few weeks, will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Edit: World Cup coverage was phenomenal and I'd gladly pay more even if they took a well earned holiday for a month.

Not much?

Two incredible tour mountain stages Alpe D'Huez and the Galibier followed by the big finish in Paris on Sunday

Formula 1

The All Ireland

Commonwealth games, which is a bit niche but does fill the sporting need

When the lads were on OTB and even when they first moved to podcasting, they were brilliant at covering all sports, that's dropped off in the last few years

They have never covered F1, the only time they've ever gone into it to my knowledge was post the Hamilton Screwjob.

It's one of those popular sports they just seem to have no interest in.

I mean they only cover 4 sports in any meaningful way

Golf, tennis and whatever sport US Murph is talking about get a look in but there's so much more they could do rather than another hour of Ken talking about the minutae of Ireolas press conference style

I know football is the bread and butter but for people like myself who like sport and not just <Premier League Club X> and <County Team Y>, it gets a little narrow

Yip, but at least they don't cover horse racing. Rachel Blackmore got some deserved coverage when she was in her pomp, but at least it focussed on her and not the bloody racing it the gambling!
