Just posting this here as it relates to Fran O'Leary. If you've never heard Fran speak, it's worth the effort. He's from Dublin, has that Irish wit and a lot of Irish expressions. I think he came to the states in 1985.

At the sports luncheon yesterday he talked about his background and a lot of soccer stuff and how he didn't understand American football when he got here. Here are 2 of his best quips:

I was watching an NFL game and the team had 4th down and 4 inches. They did a QB sneak, made the 4 inches and everyone went wild. I thought to myself, what kind of game is this when you get this excited about advancing 4 inches.

He commented that those at the luncheon were blessed to be eating at the #1 campus dining in the country. One of the entrees had a bunch of broccoli and George hates broccoli. He said, even the #1 dining can't make broccoli taste good. Jesus couldn't even make broccoli taste good.
