About the book:
A moving celebration of the history of American football from the NYT bestselling author of WHY WE LOVE BASEBALL
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.
WHY WE LOVE FOOTBALL is an unforgettable masterpiece, a can't-miss take on the history of football from one of the greatest sportswriters of our time.
