Get Joe Posnanski to be a Fulham Fan

Sports Illustrated is going to start reprinting Joe's blog on Sportsillustrated.com so when he writes about Fulham it will have a much larger audience. This should be great; now I really cant wait to read his promised blog.

Not a Fulham post, and I don't know if the young bloods on this site appreciate Springsteen as much as those of us with some grey in our hair, but this is such an excellent piece of writing I wanted to post a link to it.

 

Doh. What a tease. I thought it was FFC related. A good piece none-the-less. Thanks Steve.

 

Where in the world is Joe Posnanski??

He MUST make his presence known on this board!

 

I would expect the Arse win to be a perfect vehicle for his extended piece. Meaning I would look for it soon or he isnt much of a writer.

 

Or much of a fan......yet.

 

Remember Joe Posnanski

It's still not the entire column devoted to FulhamFC that has been promised but it's two paragraphs

 

RE: Remember Joe Posnanski

Well, I've given up on Mr. Posnanski. He's cute and entertaining with his little sports blog and all but when it comes to being a Fulham fan he's front. FFC beats the best team in the world 2-nil and still no column. Get lost Posnanski, you're not wortlhy.

 

Same here.

Ah well. He's a baseball guy. Anyone who follows the Royals obsessively has it in his blood.A leopard doesn't change his spots. He's a great writer and I try to lift a few ideas from his posts though for my writings. Not much of a footy fan though.

Any chance a mod could lift the sticky attachment from this thread?

 

Disappointing that we never got our column from him. Huge win notwithstanding, I wouldn't expect much at the moment because (according to his blog posts) he's in the home stretch of finishing up a book that's coming out later this year.

 

Someone email the man.

 

Joe finally did make a post about Fulham today. http://joeposnanski.com/JoeBlog/2009/05 ... #more-2169

All in all not near as entertaining or as good as most of his writing. His initial posts on choosing his team were fun, but I guess he just didnt have the time for Fulham. And Mike, I did send him an email after the ManU game and after the end of the season to tell him about FFC's records and qualifying for Europe.

Another disappointing thing about his post was he ended it with a mention of todays ManU - Barca matchup so most of the comments were about that.
