Joe Posnanski from the Kansas City Star has long been my favorite sports writer. He’s proven that you don’t have to be “edgey” or “controversial” to be a columnist in today’s world. I love Joe’s style. I love his eternally optimistic outlook. And I’ve sincerely enjoyed his writing for many years.

Congrats Joe. I hope you love your new job at Sports Illustrated as much as I’ve loved your work at the Star.
