Alcoa’s Fantastic Finishes

Posted on December 28, 2015September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: You might remember a version of this story from a couple of years ago … I go back and find the history of Alcoa’s Fantastic Finishes. More, though, it’s a memory of watching the NFL many years ago, before Red Zone Channels and constant highlights and football games on Sunday night. It…

The Laura Graves Story

Posted on December 28, 2015September 22, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: This was a fun one to write about Laura Graves, an Olympic hopeful in dressage, and her crazy horse. It’s a story that will probably be a movie someday. Movie Magic

Pete, Ty and 4,192

Posted on December 23, 2015September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: With Pete Rose back in the news, at least somewhat, it’s a great time to retell the deception of 4,192, the absurdity of the 1910 batting race and the day Pete Rose REALLY passed Ty Cobb to become the Hit King. Set the Record Straight

Is Trevor Hoffman a Hall of Famer?

Posted on December 16, 2015September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld:  From an emotional point of view, I thoroughly enjoyed and admired the career of Trevor Hoffman. From an unemotional one, his Hall of Fame case comes down to how you feel about one statistic — the save. Hell’s Bells

Still Hustling

Posted on December 15, 2015September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: Pete Rose is a great storyteller, when he’s in the mood. He’s a funny guy, when he’s in the mood. He’s a good guy to hang out with, when he’s in the mood. Like I say, I have a soft spot for him. And beyond that, I’m on the record saying that…

The $500 Million Man

Posted on December 14, 2015September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: Lots and lots of stuff coming. Already in the hopper, I’ve got a piece on Trevor Hoffman and the Hall of Fame, and piece on Pete Rose’s mindlessly blowing his last chance at something like redemption and a video explaining why, no doubt, Serena Williams deserved SI Sportsperson of the Year over…

The PosCast Episode 15

Posted on December 9, 2015September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

I believe this episode of the PosCast is the longest in our history at one hour and 16 minutes and yet Michael Schur and yet, somehow, there’s even less content than usual. Apologies in advance for the inevitable technical foulups that I’m sure you will alert me to later, but I can say that this…

Drew Carey and the Browns

Posted on December 7, 2015September 30, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: Drew Carey has given up on the Cleveland Browns. This was the fact that kept echoing in my head as I watched every minute of the Browns’ humiliating and brain-dead 37-3 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. Drew Carey — Mr. Cleveland, the city’s native son, a guy who has had his own…
