If anyone knows a thing or two about All-Ireland final day, it is Pat Spillane.
The Kerry icon won eight All-Ireland titles and was a nine-time All-Star to boot, starring in the great Kingdom side of the 70s and 80s.
On the other end of the scale is his fellow outspoken pundit, Joe Brolly.
While still an impressive feat, the Derry man only appeared in one final, which his county won, beating Cork 1-14 to 2-8.
Speaking on the 2 Johnnies podcast, Spillane threw a cheeky dig at Brolly over his superior All-Ireland final experience.
He said: "I did a preview during the week, and again the question was about All-Ireland experiences, and Joe Brolly was with me.
"So I said 'Joe, you won't be long answering this question, you only appeared in one final."
