The whole Sky deal was basically about Cavan
Consider this: last year Cavan had their best championship in years and played live on television five times. Then Sky suddenly become interested in broadcasting GAA matches ... Coincidence? I think not.
I propose the theory that Sky were so taken by Cavan's style of play and the side's potential that they decided to get in on the action. And if you don't believe me, just look at the matches they have rights to this summer; the Ulster semi-final Cavan will feature in, should they win on Sunday and the All Ireland quarter-final that will feature the winners of the Ulster Championship. Nothing gets past those buckos in Sky. They know how shit's guna go down!
