On episode 247 I am joined by Dublin's 1983 All-Ireland winning Captain and player of the year, one of the most respected figures in the history of Dublin Gaelic football Tommy Drumm. His football journey began with Whitehall Colmcilles, and continued through Dublin's underage ranks, including the 1975 All-Ireland Under-21 final, before he established himself as a senior inter-county player. Tommy represented Dublin at senior level from 1976 to 1984, establishing himself as one of the best defenders of his generation and becoming a key member and leader of the famous Dublin teams of the late 1970s and early 1980s.During his inter-county career, Tommy won three All-Ireland Senior Football Championships, five Leinster titles. Four All-Stars, Tommy captained Dublin to their first All-Ireland Senior Football title in six years in 1983 when Dublin defeated Galway with Tommy lifting Sam Maguire as captain. He would return as Dublin captain in 1984, leading the team to another Leinster title and back to the All-Ireland final, before retiring at just 28 to move abroad and focus on his professional career.Away from the football field, Tommy went on to build a very successful career in the construction industry.Drumm became Managing Director of Collen Construction, combining his practical experience in construction and leadership. During our chat Tommy offers a unique perspective on Dublin football — from the legendary teams of the 1970s and 1980s, the dressing room and approach by Kevin Heffernan, captaining Dublin to All-Ireland glory, and the characters and stories behind one of the most memorable eras in GAA history, to leadership, business and finding success in sport and business.This episode is sponsored by Sport Expo Ireland, a brand-new event taking place at the Sport Ireland Campus on April 21st and 22nd, 2027.

And could Grayson Waller winning the NXT Championship create a new path for main roster talent who need a reset?Plus, Nick and Myron dive into the Leon Slater match being pulled from the MyAEW stream and what it says about wrestling partnerships, TNA's relationship with WWE, AEW's streaming platform, and the politics that can get in the way of fans seeing advertised matches.This week's Georgia wrestling recap includes quick reactions and story takeaways from:1FW – Commerce, GAA busy night with title stories, rising names, and several familiar 1FW rivalries continuing to move forward.New Legacy Pro Wrestling – Franklin, GAChampionship changes, unfinished business, and a few big questions coming out of Franklin.Coastal Empire Wrestling – Savannah, GAA major night for CEW with Gold or Gone fallout, championship opportunities, and a near-sellout crowd despite major competition nearby.GCW – Buckhead, GAA shocking turn in a Career vs. Hair match may have changed the direction of GCW moving forward.United Pro Entertainment – Kingsland, GAA major main event shakeup leaves Bryce Cannon, Jon Davis, and Bryce Maddox at the center of the story.Nick and Myron also preview another strong weekend across Georgia.Friday, September 41FW – Watkinsville, GAAngelica Risk defends gold, Satnam Singh faces Chad Skywalker, and several major 1FW names are in action.Southern Honor Wrestling – Canton, GACarlie Bravo and Alexander Lev go face-to-face before Still Here, plus Krule, Christian Taylor, Kyle Matthews, Hakeem Young, and a Good Brothers meet and greet.Saturday, September 51FW – Winder, GAA free show at Finished Goods Brew Werks.Southern Fried Championship Wrestling – Monroe, GANick Halen defends the SFCW Heavyweight Championship against Bryce Cannon, plus tag title action and more.

Some fans are blaming WWE because ESPN Unlimited will be the U.S. home for WWE PLEs, but is that fair? Or is this really part of a larger streaming industry price trend?Nick and Myron discuss the difference between WWE taking major rights fees and ESPN setting the monthly price for its own app.They also address the report that claimed ESPN was already unhappy with the WWE deal — and ESPN quickly shooting that down as false.Then the conversation shifts to NXT's women's division and why so many female athletes seem to be picking up pro wrestling faster than the men. Jordynne Grace's research, athletic backgrounds like gymnastics, cheerleading, and amateur wrestling, and comments from names like Kevin Owens and AJ Styles all factor into the discussion.Are NXT's women developing faster because of gender, recruiting, coaching habits, or transferable athletic skills?The guys also discuss AEW All In returning to Wembley Stadium, with Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay headlining. Ticket numbers are down from AEW's historic 2023 Wembley debut, but when did drawing 40,000-plus fans to a stadium become something people call a failure?Nick and Myron look at whether AEW's international strategy may be one of its biggest long-term growth opportunities.This week's Georgia wrestling recap includes quick reactions and story takeaways from:1FW – Marietta, GAA busy night featuring Angelica Risk, Vary Morales, Parker Li, The SupaStarz, and more.Southern Fried Championship Wrestling – Loganville, GAA fundraiser-driven night that became much bigger than wrestling and created one of the most emotional moments of the weekend.Blood & Honey Series – Atlanta, GAMatt Griffin continues to survive Atlanta's deathmatch world, while major changes hit the Blood & Honey power structure.Total Aggression Wrestling – Eastanollee, GAChampionship issues, rivalries, and a major return all helped set the table for what comes next.1FW TV Taping – McDonough, GAA packed TV taping featuring title fallout, new directions, surprise confrontations, and chaos in the main event scene.Nick and Myron also look ahead to another strong weekend across Georgia.Friday, August 281FW – Commerce, GASix-man action, Satnam Singh, Angelica Risk defending gold, and more.SCA – Royston, GAMonster's Ball action, title matches, tag team stakes, and several big stories moving forward.Saturday, August 29Coastal Empire Wrestling – Savannah, GATag title action, Bryce Cannon, Dax Anthony, Doc Gallows, Christian Taylor, Gold or Gone, and more.GCW – Buckhead, GAA Career vs. Hair Bunkhouse Match with Terry Lawler as special referee.Sunday, August 30ROAR – Marietta, GAKiera Hogan vs. Ruthie Jay and Robyn Renegade vs. Bobbi Thunder.United Pro Entertainment – Kingsland, GABryce Cannon defends the United Pro Title against Jon Davis, plus Hunter James, Hakeem Young, Bryce Maddox, JT Paradox, Christian Taylor, and more.

If you asked people to name the biggest stars in Irish sporting history, Rory McIlroy, Katie Taylor and Brian O'Driscoll would be at the top of many lists – and, up until recently, many people would have gone for hurling legend DJ Carey. The former Kilkenny and GAA icon is no longer famous for his sporting prowess alone. Instead, he is currently serving a prison sentence for fraud and deception that nobody could have predicted just a few years ago. But how did DJ Carey go from a titan of Ireland's favourite game to a convicted criminal?
