Who could forget Joe Montana’s epic touchdown pass to Dwight Clark in the Cowboys end zone that gave the 49ers their 28-27 NFC division victory in 1981?  Or “The Helmet Catch,” Eli Manning’s downfield pass to New York Giants’ receiver David Tyree to give the Giants a win over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII? Sports columnist Joe Posnanski certainly hasn’t.

He’s followed up his popular book Why We Love Baseball with his newest, Why We Love Football. Posnanski draws from it as he reminisces about pivotal moments in the sport, from epic comeback games to stellar feats of athleticism, and shares insights on the upcoming NFL season.

Posnanski is joined by former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and veteran Washington Post football reporter Len Shapiro, and Washington football legend and Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinee Darrell Green for a lively conversation about the number-one spectator sport in America. Phil Hochberg, longtime stadium announcer for the Washington Football Team, moderates the panel.

Why We Love Football: A History in 100 Moments (Dutton) is available for purchase and signing courtesy of Politics and Prose.
