Praise for Why We Love Football: "An engaging and accessible trip down memory lane for anyone who possesses even a passing interest in the game. . . . Posnanski's list undoubtedly provides football fans with an opportunity to do what we love best--relive the glory days while trash-talking each other's 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 America's 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, he's an enthusiast with an uncommonly broad grasp of football history. . . . [Posnanski] . . . connects to the game at a fan's 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 . . . . Posnanski's 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 fan's 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 sport's most memorable plays, including Mark Sanchez's 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 "Why We Love Football is an entertaining and enlightening look at a game from all aspects and for all fans, whether diehard or occasional. . . . As you journey through the pages of this rousing salute to football you will recall events you saw, events about which you read, events you did not know about, and events that made you laugh and cry. . . . Why We Love Football is a touchdown in the Super Bowl of writing." -- Illinois Times, Praise for Why We Love Football: "Entertaining and informative." - The Washington Post "A thoroughly enjoyable look back at the players and plays that have come to define America's most popular sport . . . .
