That was quite a lot of shite spread over one page.

Paul Hession deserves a shout too, fastest white man on earth

I seriously hate that prick Kevin Myers, he is a stuck up prick who gets a kick out of putting down is country.

For me its Harrington or O'Driscoll

Harrington by a country mile. O'Driscoll is a great player but rugby isn't as big a sport. It has been 15 years since we had a real multiple major winner.

old choice stephen roche

From an American perspective I'd have to say that Harrington is probably your most visible sports star on this side of the Atlantic. When I think of Ireland athletes I think of O'Driscoll, Robbie Keane, and Harrington. Being an American, I'd bet not many people have heard of O'Driscoll and only a few of Keane... but a lot have heard of Harrington.
