“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

“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
