INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

A Kirkus Reviews Most Anticipated Book of the Fall

A moving celebration of the history of American football from the New York Times bestselling author of Why We Love Baseball

After his bestselling home run books Why We Love Baseball and The Baseball 100, Joe Posnanski turns from the national pastime to the number one sport in America. Why We Love Football is Posnanski’s newest must-have deep dive into the archives and legends of the sport, and the result is a rousing tale of the 100 greatest moments in football lore.

This is the best kind of sports writing. Entertaining, enlightening, heartbreaking, hilarious, and always fascinating, these stories of the sport offer a panoramic look across its history. From hidden gems and classic tales to famous moments told from previously unheard perspectives, this book is the football book for even its most ardent fans.

From Patrick Mahomes's magic to the Ice Bowl, from Doug Flutie's Hail Mary pass to a plethora of football "miracles," Why We Love Football is an unforgettable, conversational masterpiece you won’t ever want to end, and a can't-miss take on football from one of the greatest sportswriters of our time.

What a joy

The author’s genuine enthusiasm for the stories he’s telling is a joy. Even the familiar ones become refreshed and refreshing. And he doesn’t pick them obligatorily, it feels like, but rather because they mean something to him. Thus it becomes like a friend sharing favorite stories rather than a journalist filling a book. So glad he decided to read it himself.

Great listen

This book was very enjoyable to listen to. Mr. Posnanski’s narration really brought his words to life. Great book and will buy more of his work.

Great Book

Great read, wish ESPN would make this a series so we could watch or rewatch these moments.
