Month: June 2016

Playoffs? Playoffs?

Posted on June 30, 2016September 22, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

The only thing people care less about than your golf game, your worst beat in poker and your mattress sleep number is your fantasy baseball team. So: stop reading now. I’m not kidding. Why are you still reading? Stop. OK, fine, you’re still here — you have been warned. This is about my Strat-o-Matic fantasy…

Buddy Ryan

Posted on June 29, 2016September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: Buddy Ryan died on Tuesday and there won’t ever be another one like him. “Quarterbacks,” he wrote in his playbooks, as discovered by Smart Football’s Chris Brown, “are overpaid, overrated, pompous bastards and must be punished.” If ever there were 10 words to sum up the coaching philosophy (and general philosophy) of James…

Pat Summitt

Posted on June 29, 2016September 30, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

Way behind on links here. I’ll post a few tomorrow, but for now — I wrote a little something about Pat Summitt here.  And I talked with my longtime friend and colleague, ESPN’s Mechelle Voepel, on the PosCast about Pat Summitt’s life and legacy. It was touching to hear Mechelle’s thoughts — few people have…

Michael v LeBron

Posted on June 23, 2016September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

NBC SportsWorld: The question before the court is a simple one: If you were starting a basketball team that was playing the Devil’s All-Star team for your very soul, and you had the first pick of every player in the history of the NBA, would you take Michael or would you take LeBron? The Great…

Taylor Swift

Posted on June 22, 2016September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

Michael Schur and I drafted Taylor Swift songs on the PosCast this week because … we did. Here, for your amusement, is my scouting report leading in — this is from the Pittsburgh Marriott. I was in Pittsburgh for the U.S. Open. Like always, you can listen to the PosCast on Stitcher or iTunes or AudioBoom or another…

Cleveland Wins Championship

Posted on June 20, 2016September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: It’s not the iPad review. It’s the other column I thought I would never write. Titles and Tears

Drive

Posted on June 19, 2016September 30, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

A few years ago, I asked friends to send me a list of the greatest country songs ever recorded. Country music constituted a huge void in my musical library — and really it was embarrassing. I should know SOMETHING about it. The only country songs I can remember hearing as a young man were:

Ayesha

Posted on June 18, 2016September 22, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

OK, so you no doubt have seen those Samsung appliance commercials with Kristen Bell and her husband Dax Shepard. Every single time one of those commercials plays in our house — and I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME — my wife Margo turns to me and says, “Why aren’t they like our best friends?” I mean…

The Warriors King

Posted on June 17, 2016September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: It has been a remarkable career with a million highs. But I think Game 6 against Golden State was the crescendo of LeBron James’ career. The Warriors King

Pete and Ichiro

Posted on June 16, 2016September 29, 2016 by Joe Posnanski

From NBC SportsWorld: Pete Rose in 2009 (to me): “And Ichiro … he can have the hits he got in Japan and he’s still not breaking the record.” Pete Rose in 2013 (to USA Today): “Hey, if we’re counting professional hits then add my 427 in the minors. I was a professional then too!” Pete…
