The Poz

PrintNon-LSU related content, but there is an absolutely mammoth interview of Joe Posnanski at Gelf Magazine's site. Poz is, quite simply, the best sportswriter in the business not to mention the best sports blogger on the internet. His output is staggering in both its breadth and its quality. Honestly, I wish I had a fraction of the guy's talent.
In an age where it seems the only opinions that get heard are from the people who shout the loudest, it's nice to see a guy get tons of plaudits for being thoughtful, respectful of all opinions, and most notably, long. Not everything has to be boiled down to a one-sentence tweet. It is possible to hold complex opinions, and better yet, spend the time to explain and defend them.
Then go buy his new book. When you're done, buy his old one.

I will read and review on this site any college sports-related book that a publisher sends me. I make no promises that it will be a positive review, but I can be bribed.

Dear Buzz,
Moneyball is a way for smaller market teams to compete. Not a means to win titles every year. It’s thru Moneyball that teams like that Roya; and A’s can even hang with the Bosox and Yankees of the league.
RIP FJM
And a big thank you to td.com poster MDGeaux for turning me on to those guys several years ago.

Baloo, MDGeaux, Poseur
All the same dude. So, you’re welcome.
And I didn’t know Buzz would make this topical by showing up and making an ass of himself on deadspin.

As a Reds fan I picked up Poz's new book when it was released
He really is a entertaining storyteller
People, please. We're all frightened and horny, but we can't let some killer dolphins keep us from living and scoring
