GAA Podcast: Imagining Micko in modern game and Championship preview

Mikey Stafford is joined by Conor Neville and Niall McCoy to reflect on the life of Mick O'Dwyer and look ahead to the opening weekend of the provincial football championships.

Kerry's first real 'manager', Mick O'Dwyer the player also came to prominence during the dawn of the broadcasting age.

Micko knew how to use the media to advantage and revelled in his late career pivot to Leinster football missionary. But how would he have coped in the modern game?

The lads also look ahead to the provincial football championships, which as always, start with a bit of a whimper. But is there hope for underdogs like Wexford, Limerick and Sligo? Possibly, but we're less hopeful for Carlow, Longford, New York and London.

And can Donegal live up to early season hype and deliver another Sam Maguire? We're expecting our first clue in Ballybofey on Sunday when they take on old foes Derry.
