And he said, is anybody in this room going to write that Mayo were going to win the All-Ireland?
And Colm Keyes piped up and said, no.
And he was right.
Nobody is going to say that Mayo are going to win the All-Ireland.
No one sane is going to say it because by every metric, they won't and they can't.
But games are not decided on metrics.
Or you could say reckless abandon versus the weight of pressure.
Not that that actually is probably what's going on here, but there is...
a serious level of quality and experience in this Kerry team, Pat.
All-Ireland winners in 22, beaten by Dublin in 23, All-Ireland winners again last year in 25, and they performed incredibly well last year in the All-Ireland final under the new rules the first year.
I think a clatter of the Mayo boys have featured in 21.
Some of them, like Aidan O'Shea and Keenan O'Connor and Robbery Henley, were part of that phenomenal Mayo group that came up against
Either the greatest team we've ever seen in Dublin six in a row, or at worst, the second greatest team we've ever seen in Gaelic football, just behind Mick O's Kerry.
So that's why that Mayo team fell short in those finals.
There's reasons for all the 11 finals they've lost.
But in the 2010s, they come up against one of the greatest.
You know, we've had teenage All-Ireland appearances over the years.
You could list them off.
The Gooch was very young when he started in an All-Ireland final.
There's been plenty of them.
