Can there be such a thing as TOO much sport in one weekend? We say of course not, and that's why we're looking ahead to the All-Ireland hurling final replay, the Ryder Cup, and talking to our first ever current NFL-playing guest.

Pat Murray is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker, and tells us why his heroes are Ronan O'Gara, and Monaghan's Paul Finlay - all that, and Ken reverses the tactics truck back into our consciousness, right here.

We tried to like the All-Ireland football final for as long as we could, but there was no escaping it in the end - it was a pretty poor game. Tell a Kerry person who cares though, because they're champions for a 37th time.
