SI Sports Fact of the Day

Posted on January 14, 2011 by Joe Posnanski

For the holidays, I was given a Sports Illustrated desktop facts calendar — it is one of those that you tear off a page after each day. I have gotten these sorts of calendars before — Today in American History; Today in Birthdays; Today in New Wave Music; Today in Golf Tips — but they…

Whose Game Is It Anyway?

Posted on January 12, 2011 by Joe Posnanski

Gene Chizik said something interesting on Monday night after Auburn won the national championship. This, in itself, is news, methinks.* I mean no disrespect: Chizik is obviously a terrific football coach, and I have no reason to believe he’s anything other than a fine man, and Auburn had a marvelous football season — but, I…

Posted on January 9, 2011 by Joe Posnanski

OK, so the last live blog didn’t quite work … I think I messed up the time slot. Let’s try it again. Chiefs vs. Ravens

Katie The Prefect

Posted on January 6, 2011September 30, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about our plans to take our daughters — particularly our nine-year-old Elizabeth — to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios in Orlando. I worried, I suppose, that nothing surprising and magical would happen. Well, as it turned out, something surprising and magical did happen. The first thing…

The Hall of Fame Recap

Posted on January 6, 2011 by Joe Posnanski

Well, for the most part, Hall of Fame day went as expected. Roberto Alomar didn’t just go into the Hall of Fame, he received 90% of the vote, a higher percentage than Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle, Frank Robinson and Bob Gibson among most others. This seems to solidify the perception that last year…

A Basketball Carol

Posted on January 5, 2011September 30, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

Red Klotz points out the sliding glass door at the ocean just 100 yards away. Red:: Look out there. Me: Yes. It’s beautiful. Red: You know, every day it looks different. Every single day. Me: Because of the weather? Red: Because of the ocean.

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Joe Posnanski

Ed Price and I have been great friends for almost 20 years now — ever since we worked together in Augusta, Ga. — and I have great respect for him as both a person, a baseball writer and a thinker. He wrote something on Monday that I thought was heartfelt and thoughtful. I also happened…

Twitter Expansion #2: Seahawks

Posted on January 3, 2011 by Joe Posnanski

@JPosnanski Gotta say I’m not bothered that 7-9 team made playoffs. I’m bothered that a spectacularly crappy 7-9 team is in the playoffs. There were three 7-9 teams in the NFL this year. I would say the Seattle Seahawks were the worst of the three. Now, that is simply my opinion, and it is contradicted…

Twitter Expansion #1

Posted on January 3, 2011 by Joe Posnanski

Twitter is a not a great thing for me. I have a lot of unformed thoughts — some of them dumb but many of them vapid — and Twitter makes it too easy to type out a quick sentence and send these unformed thoughts out into the world. Because these thoughts are unformed, and because…

Hall of Fame: The Borderline Five

Posted on December 31, 2010 by Joe Posnanski

OK, so there are five players left on my ballot … and I’m exhausted. I have written about 15,000 words about the Hall of Fame already this week, and I’m not even through the entire ballot? You have got to be kidding me. No, it’s worse than that. I have left what are, for me,…
