It is the penultimate Sunday of the baseball regular season. Division races and playoff spots are still to be decided as the tension builds up for what is sure to be another glorious month of October. Today marks the first day of autumn. Although the temperature outside is still in the eighties, leaves are beginning to fall from the trees, denoting a change in season. While there are still games to be played on the baseball diamond, on a beautiful looking autumn day like today, it could only mean one thing: football season is here. The time when baseball and football are played concurrently is my favorite sports time of the year because I count myself as a super fan of both sports. Days are spent figuring out which game in which sport to watch at what time so that I do not miss out on anything important. Old school as I am, there is still something to be said for the anticipation that builds from watching a live sporting event, which I refuse to record and watch after the fact (there is one game I will still watch but it is in its own category). Is it baseball or football, both or neither? The dean of sports writing today Joe Posnanski has followed up his opus account of baseball history with an ode to football. In writing in his unique cadence that will lead me to read anything that he writes, Posnanski tells fans like myself that it is ok to enjoy both baseball and football. With that knowledge taken to heart, I knew that Posnanski’s love affair with football would be the perfect book to read to demarcate the changing of seasons from one sport to another.
In his introduction Posnanski lets readers in on a secret. He is a football fan. Born during an NFL playoff game, he has inherently loved the game for his entire life the way that I born during the World Series have been blessed to be a baseball fan since birth. Joe and I share this trait: we are sports fans since birth, and our fandom shares much heartbreak that I wonder if we are cosmic twins. Posnanski grew up having a love-heartbreak relationship with the Cleveland Browns. He missed school events to watch their regular season games even when the team was at the abyss of their losing ways. The Drive is an event that he refuses to acknowledge. I get it. The one time I was allowed to miss school was to watch Cubs games even though the team lost through much of the eighties and nineties. Heartbreak occurred for me at a slightly older age than Posnanski during the Barrman game, which I refuse to acknowledge or even watch a clip of. It is that painful. Ah, but here is where baseball and football differ. Baseball is rooted in the past whereas football always has an eye on the future. The biggest off field baseball event of the year is hall of fame induction day; the largest and widely television off field football event on the calendar is the NFL draft. So the Drive and Bartman not withstanding, baseball and football fandoms veer off. Posnanski quotes the famous George Carlin monologue explaining just that. The monologue has such a place in American pop culture that Ken Burns included it during his Baseball series. The bottom line is that it is ok to love both sports and for different reasons, and for some reasons that overlap as well. In his ode to football, Posnanski does his best to give one hundred reasons why fans love football, almost as much as baseball fans love their game.
On a fall afternoon, I would rake leaves in the backyard with my dad. Because we were situated almost equally between Chicago and Milwaukee, we could pick up radio stations from both cities. That meant listening to Northwestern and Wisconsin, the Bears and Cheeseheads as we worked. Neither of us are big on tailgating or the food and drink imbibed before game time. Although that is inherent of all of our neighbors to the north, it is not us. Bears fans want to see a 2,000 yard rusher like Gayle Sayers and Walter Payton. My dad remembers the NFL championship game at Wrigley Field. He and some friends stood in line to get the last four tickets available, and the next day, they bundled up in layers, took a thermos of coffee, and nearly froze as they witnessed the Bears win their last home field championship. That is the one he reflects on as the 1985 team, as good as it was, was a one year blip. He reminisces about Ditka the player rather than Ditka the coach; Posnanski thinks highly of Ditka as well and includes him in this top one hundred. The 1985 Bears hardly register in this book other than for the Super Shuffle song that is still widely searched up on YouTube. I might have forgiven Posnanski of this oversight if he had included my favorite Bears memory from childhood: the Fog Bowl. If you are too young to remember that one, look it up on YouTube. A playoff game between the Bears and Eagles, it was so foggy at Soldier Field that cameras could barely see the action on the field. I do not remember who won but I do recall that it was the last hurrah for Jim McMahon and the top players from the Super Bowl winning team. They would be gone and the Bears would sink into the oblivion of revolving door quarterbacks for another fifteen to twenty years. Nearly forty years later, not much has changed as the Bears are still searching for a franchise quarterback. Posnanski’s Browns are in the same situation, even with a different team than the one he grew up with. Sadly for both of us, the Packers and Steelers are still around to crush dreams. Such is fandom.
I have duly noted that essays in Posnanski’s Baseball 100 could have won the Pulitzer for reporting. I have never known a sports book to win a Pulitzer, so perhaps that is something for him to strive for as a next act in writing. This football book is not quite as polished as the baseball ones, but football is action and the cadence demands more onomatopoeia and rising nerve levels until a climax, much like in an actual game that leaves fans on the edge of our seats. Football is this high and low and waiting for the next week to do it all over again sixteen times a year, wash, rinse, repeat. I know this is a 100 moments book and that it is arbitrary, but I knew something might have been fishy when he referred to Michigan as that school up north and that the Patriots are mentioned more times in games that they lost than the ones that they won. Michigan- awesomest school that there is. Patriots- best team. Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr- number one. I might read a cereal box if Posnanski penned the words, but here is where we differ. I choked back laughter as I read through this realizing that he is of the camp that does not like the Patriots. The 70s Steelers, 80s 49ers, and 90s Cowboys and Packers get their due here, but not the Patriots. Only the helmet catch, Philly special, and Miami Miracle. If part of football fandom is trash talking, then I would love to talk to Posnanski about his failure to include more Patriots winning moments in this book. And what about Michigan’s 1997 National Championship, the one where I watched them beat Ohio State and knew the title was won. The best part about football fandom is that I can be brash and wear that jersey with pride in a way that I cannot as a baseball fan. Hopefully if another football book is in his offering, Posnanski can be a tad more unbiased in his rating system. He is still one of the best so all is sort of forgiven.
Today I am still debating over baseball or football, tv or radio, both or neither. There are still a month of holidays to prepare for and a work week to prep for. That is life. Seasons change, sports seasons merge from one to another, and emotions choose to root for one team and then others in varying sports. The Cubs have been eliminated from playoff contention but I will still watch their last seven games because that is what being a fan is. Likewise the Bears do not look as good on the field as they do on paper but I will still watch because I am still a fan after all of those lousy seasons. At least Posnanski included the Devin Hester kickoff return in this book even though the Bears lost that Super Bowl as they do too many times in big games. The fog bowl, Jay Cutler’s pinky, double doink are as part of ny fandom as the Drive is of Posnanski’s. This book has been impeccably researched and well thought out even if he is not in the pro Patriots camp. I better not get started with him on the 2016 World Series or on the Shot or Shot II. Then again, I don’t even know if Posnanski is a basketball fan. If he is, though, it means that someday he will be apt to write Why We Love Basketball. If he does, I am sure to read it despite our disparaging fandoms. Debating teams, players, and their greatness is what being a fan is all about, Joe Posnanski expresses this as well as anyone out there.

Fast-paced and riveting stories from NFL, college and high school gridiron games. A great gift book. (Disclaimer: This book was written by my husband.)
December 1, 2024
Joe Posnanski has won several awards in his career, including the Casey Award in 2022 for the best baseball book, “Why We Love Baseball.” It was so successful that he decided to follow the same format and title for America’s most popular sport and like the baseball one, this book is excellent whether in print or on audio.
The latter is how I chose to consume this book and it turned out to be a good choice. Posnanski is a very good narrator and his enthusiasm for the game shows when he is describing these 100 moments that describe people’s love for the game. He includes all levels of football- mostly college and professional, of course, but covering them all gives a more complete picture.
There are many moments that even casual fans will remember if they were around when they occurred - the Immaculate Reception by Pittsburgh’s Franco Harris in 1972, the costly interception thrown at the end of Super Bowl XLIX by Russel Wilson of the Seahawks, and the return of a missed field goal by Alabama for a touchdown by Auburn in the 2013 Iron Bowl rivalry game. These and many other moments will bring back memories, both good and bad, for any fan.
It was also nice to see lesser known accomplishments make their way into this book. The best one for me (and there are several) is about the best female football player to ever strap on shoulder pads, Linda Jefferson. Having read about her amazing accomplishments earlier, I loved it when I heard the chapter on her and that Posnanski included her in the book.
No matter how much interest a reader has in the game of football and whatever level of football is their favorite, they are sure to be able to find at least a few of these stories they will enjoy. It’s what makes a book like this great - one can skim or skip some parts, devour others and come away feeling like they have learned something new about America’s favorite sport.

A writer like this on a subject like this? How could it get screwed up? It can't, and my only caveat is that I enjoy the author's writing on baseball a little bit more.
August 23, 2025
I have loved Joe Posnanski’s for a long time and he’s the author of one of my favorite books (on any topic) The Soul of Baseball. He doesn’t disappoint here despite this being his third book in a row of essentially lists ( well true they are stories). One can argue about the moments and that’s half the fun right? However he doesn’t say they are the “TOP” 100 Moments just that the are moments.
I love that my 2 daughters prepurchased this book for me and had Joe inscribe it with the following -
“To the guy made Em and Mere appreciate the art of football.
Here we go Brownies, here we go!
Joe Posnanski “
Yes, Joe like me is a long suffering Browns fan and they are indeed represented here - both the good and bad.

Joe Posnanski is, for my money, the best sports writer working today. While it’s impossible to top The Baseball 100, which is one of the best sports books ever written, Posnanski does a fantastic job covering the history of American Football. A must read for any fan of the game. I’ll even forgive him for being a Browns fan.
November 1, 2024
Finally finished this one. Not as detailed as his baseball 100 book but still a good read and still Posnanski.

November 18, 2024Posnanski is my favorite sportswriter. And while I'm 10x the baseball fan that I am of football, Why We Love Football did everything I hoped it would.
November 30, 2024
Not quite as strong as his baseball books, but I really enjoyed it! I will say, I did most of this on audio and his tendency to use a LOT of footnotes and say “footnote” every time was super annoying on audio. Outside of that he reads it himself and does a great job

"It’s undeniable that America has a love affair with football. The National Football League is the most prosperous professional sports organization in the world, with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell forecasting $25 billion in annual revenue by 2027.
But precisely why America loves football, that is the question former Sports Illustrated journalist Joe Posnanski seeks to answer in “Why We Love Football: A History In 100 Moments,” his eighth book exploring how American sports impact the national consciousness.
Before Posnanski kicks off his highlights reel of the legends and foibles that comprise football lore, he defines precisely who the fans are that have turned this national pastime into an economic giant. Describing football as a “bloodlust” sport, he writes in the book’s introduction..."

Wonderful read for the dedicated football fan (but probably not for anyone who doesn't follow football or is just a casual fan). Each chapter covers a significant moment in football history, many of them well-known but also some that are obscure. Embedded within the list of 100 moments is the author's take on the 10 greatest players (each chapter ending in a 0), and also the 10 best miracle plays (each chapter ending in 7). I really enjoyed pulling up legendary plays on YouTube as I read about the history and back story of the plays in each chapter. This will be a great book to keep and occasionally pull off the bookshelf and read a couple chapters.
January 8, 2025
I was a little disappointed. Some of the moments in here felt relatively trivial and like they should have been excluded. I wish fewer moments had been picked and more had been written about them, rather than 100 short chapters. I also wasn’t in love with the author’s writing style, and there were too many asides that interrupted the flow of the stories. Still, I love football so so much, and there certainly were some stories that were really well told, as well as some cool moments I had not been aware of.
August 9, 2025
Joe Posnanski is nothing short of incredible writer.
Did I get as emotional reading this as I did reading his previous Why We Love Baseball? No I didn’t. But I also prefer baseball as a sport, and it can generate emotions in me that no other sport can.
But I love football, too. And when Posnanski opened the book with the same discussion — baseball is amazing, but football is great in its own ways, too — I knew this was a book for me.

Not a football fan but was given this book as a gift. I had previously read the author’s two baseball books and they were both excellent. This book was very good as well. He’s a terrific writer with an eye and a knack for fascinating stories which this book is full of. Did it make me love football? No. But it does help me to continue appreciating the writer.
January 12, 2025
Big football guy so my rating is a bit inflated. I would say this is a perfect coffee table book since you can open it to any page and get a quick, good story. My only problem is that there are multiple spelling/grammar mistakes, as if it was rushed through printing (I know it probably was). Still enjoyable though.
June 10, 2025
I loved the fast pace of this book as the list progressed. Posnanski does a wonderful job mixing in stories from the very distant past to stories in more recent years. I appreciated his “footnotes” throughout the book, and although I thought some events should be ranked differently, I surprisingly agreed with his #1 after giving it some thought.
November 22, 2025
Took me a while to get through but so many fun football stories. Was fun to look up one of the plays or games on YouTube after reading about it. I often have been picking up other books and not sticking to this one, good to get through it and read some of the greatest stories that were saved for the end

Another banger by Joey P. It was interesting to see how the behemoth of the NFL was formed and which players/players were at the crux of it - especially the unsung heroes.
I didn’t super agree with all of his rankings or enjoy reliving Super Bowl 49 but still a great listen!

My brother doesn’t know it yet, but he’s getting this book for Christmas. This is a great book for football fans to reminisce on the great moments of this sport and learn about moments that they may not know of. Great for both new and old fans of the game.
October 7, 2024
Surprisingly I enjoyed this. Growing up watching football with my dad may have helped. It's interesting to look back and see how far the sport has come.

3.5 stars
An entertaining book, but I felt he had too many “moments”
from 2000 onward. I would have preferred more listings from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.

Really 3.5, but add a star if you are a football fan. This is a fun book, but you need to read it slowly so you can look up these 100 moments on youtube. Some I remembered, but many more were new to me. A good book for the football lover.

I didn't think he could improve on his baseball books... and while this isn't better... the man is a great story teller and I could read his stuff all day!

A fabulous read for any football fan!!
November 18, 2024
Finished last week but forgot to log, another great Posnanski sports book, give me one of these every few years and I'll happy read each one.

Another great book from Joe Posnanski!
February 21, 2025
Let Posnanski write one of these about every sport. I would read Why We Love Ping Pong.
