Joe Posnanski

After scoring a bestselling home run with baseball, Joe Posnanski turns his gaze from the nation’s pastime to the no.1 sport in America. Why We Love Football, like Joe’s 2023 baseball book, is a deep dive into the archives of American sport, and the result is a rousing tale of the 100 greatest moments in football lore.

This entertaining, enlightening, heartbreaking, hilarious, and always fascinating study of the sport offers a panoramic look across each of the moments. Both hidden gems and classic tales are told from previously unheard perspectives, and readers find themselves strategizing in locker rooms with artful head coaches, roaring in stadium crowds with diehard fans, and making controversial calls with referees on the field.

Joe Posnanski is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of seven books, including The Baseball 100, Paterno, and The Secret of Golf, and has been named National Sportswriter of the Year by five different organizations. He writes at JoePosnanski.com and currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with his family.
