Posnanskis list undoubtedly provides football fans with an opportunity to do what we love best—relive the glory days while trash-talking each others teams. . . . Why We Love Football is rife with statistics and play-by-play action any die-hard enthusiast will relish." –Atlanta Journal-Constitution"Entertaining and informative." –The Washington Post"A thoroughly enjoyable look back at the players and plays that have come to define Americas most popular sport . . . . For football fans like this reviewer, the book is an absolute must-read. But it should be accessible to the football-averse, too, with its brilliant writing and research that unearths gems and perspectives that bring the game and its characters to life. Readers will find themselves laughing out loud at times." –Associated Press"Posnanski is a practiced sportswriter, but here, following his top-50 treatment of baseball, hes an enthusiast with an uncommonly broad grasp of football history. . . . [Posnanski] . . . connects to the game at a fans level. . . . Gives us 100 reasons to look forward to football season." —Kirkus"Posnanski follows up his 50 greatest moments in baseball (Why We Love Baseball, 2023) with this entertaining selection of the 100 greatest moments in football. Spanning legendary high school games to classic college matchups to iconic Super Bowl moments and profiling key players throughout the history of the game, [he] counts down the most significant events . . . . Posnanskis collection hits its marks." —Booklist"Ebullient . . . Posnanski rolls the highlight reel on the most memorable plays to ever grace the gridiron. The recaps mix the humorous and the heartfelt . . . Posnanski has a talent for restoring excitement to even the most well-known plays. Brimming with a fans enthusiasm and capturing the awe, bemusement, and thrills that the sport inspires, this is another win from Posnanski." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)"So why do we love football? Posnanski, who last year told us Why We Love Baseball, captures the excitement and drama of the game by highlighting some of the sports most memorable plays, including Mark Sanchezs infamous Thanksgiving Day "butt fumble" in 2012. I emailed the author about the team closest to his own heart, and he pointed to the Cleveland Browns, which means that I have lived a lifetime of suffering. This one could be a fun gift for your favorite sports nut." —AARP Details ISBN0593475526 Author Joe Posnanski Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780593475522 Format Hardcover Audience General Publication Date 2024-09-17 Subtitle A History in 100 Moments UK Release Date 2024-09-17 NZ Release Date 2024-10-14 AU Release Date 2024-10-14 Pages 480 Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Imprint Dutton / Signet Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2024-09-17 ISBN-10 0593475526 DEWEY 796.33209 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
