Logging into my bank account today and I noticed that Ulster Bank’s Henri the Hippo has a distinctive American football instead of a rugby ball. What?
Anyone?
Splutter.

A reworking of Coach Flowers speech by Dublin Rebels, Fergal O’Hanlon ahead of a grand final battle in the Shamrock Bowl 2013.
Fergal O’Hanlon says:
“I rehearsed that for two solid weeks, the neighbour banged my door down thinking the worst, only to find a man wearing spandex and pads clutching some tattered script listening to the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack.”
Mmf.
Update: NCAA (College football not NFL)

I thought with the weekend that was in it these may interest people, when the game last visited Dublin in 1989 [Pittsburgh Versus Rutgers at Lansdowne Road], my old man got us down to the sideline and sitting with the players. How, I have no idea. In the picture where I am being held aloft, that is Alex Van Pelt, current running backs coach for the Green Bay Packers. Cannot wait for this weekend.
