Top 32 NFL Coaches as Players

Posted on October 16, 2010 by Joe Posnanski

So here’s what I was thinking about the other day … why is it important that a professional sports coach or manager (especially in baseball) be a former player?

Sweeney: An Essay

Posted on October 14, 2010 by Joe Posnanski

A comedian friend told me this once … I’m paraphrasing: “People think the punch line is the most important part of the joke. But it isn’t. The punch line is nothing. If you tell a joke right, you can say 50 different punch lines and all of them will be funny. If you tell a…

The Baseball Playoffs

Posted on October 13, 2010 by Joe Posnanski

I wrote a piece yesterday about the book Death to the BCS, and this post isn’t EXACTLY connected to that. But it is in the same neighborhood. This piece is about the extra round of baseball playoffs. And how, in the larger context, I don’t like them.* * *I once got in a fairly heated…
