Medals tarnish and old heroes fade as new ones are made. Peter Stringer was in the Aviva Stadium in February 2015 when George made his first appearance for England against Ireland in the Six Nations. It was the first time Stringer had attended an Ireland match since his last appearance against England four years ago. Denis Walsh wrote: "Ireland moved on; Stringer still longed for the life they used to share. It’s like those love affairs that end with the hope that we can still be friends. Yes, but." Peter Stringer described the experience like this: "When the anthems were being sung, that was pretty strange. It was pretty emotional. It’s weird because I still feel I’m good enough, I still have that passion. Enjoy it? I don’t know if I did. The result was great but I don’t think I was able to sit down, relax and enjoy it."

Good to catch up with Peter Stringer from the Boston Celtics one of the first guys I followed and connected with when I started Sports Geek. Pete and I discuss how the digital landscape has changed and his foray into the world of podcasting. On ABC Grandstand we discuss security issues around the celebrity iCloud hacking scandal. sportsgeekhq.com/59 http://bit.ly/1AtyKtf

Were we incapable of empathy — of putting ourselves in the position of others and seeing that their suffering is like our own — then ethical reasoning would lead nowhere. If emotion without reason is blind, then reason without emotion is impotent.

How Stringer didn't deck him, I'll never know. :@ Dirty knacker.
