I know a lot of you don't like Posnaski...

[WILDCAT NATION]

But, I enjoyed his article this morning...especially this part...

A moment after he finished talking, Huggins ran into senior Lance Harris and hugged him. Huggins then whispered a question into his ear, a question that was something like: “Are you ready for spring break?” Harris looked at him as if he were crazy.

“I asked you a question,” Huggins said.

“No sir,” Harris said. “I don’t even know when spring break is.”

“OK then,” Huggins said. “Then let’s just keep on playing.”

i think he is a great writer.

[michigancat]

He's an overly dramatic writer.  Sucking up to Huggins a couple times a year doesn't make him good.

[Jeffrey_Martin]

Joe is an exceptional writer. Nice column.

[The Minister]

Agree, J-Mart. 

Posnanski gave us his take on KSU in the NCAA's, what are your thoughts now?

[catzacker]

I wish he would quit trying to win the Pulitzer with every story he writes.  He could write a column on piece of fruit and try to interject some "hallmark card moment" into it.  I agree with Rusty.  

[Jeffrey_Martin]

You thought he tried to win a Pulitzer with that piece? That's how he writes. It was fine...

I think they're in. I think beating Tech assures they're in, but I believe the Cats are in already.

[pissclams]

IF I knew how to read I would offer my opinion on Joe's ability to write a good piece, if.

[Super PurpleCat]

I'm a Posnanski Fanski.

Joe is a great writer.  The only time I don't read his column is if the topic is completely uninteresting to me, such as the Winter Olympics or Buck O'Neil.  He has lots of good stuff on the Royals, Chiefs, MU, KSU, ku, and the NFL in general.

[ECN]

buck was a great man.

uninteresting? unbelievable.

[kst8cat]

uninteresting? unbelievable.

Yeah, he was a great man, and I understand lots of people are interested in him getting into the hall of fame and all, which I agree with, but I just don't find it entertaining to me personally to examine the subject at length.

You know how on Sportscenter when they do a piece by Chris Connelley (?, same dude who was the "MTV Movies" guy last decade), it's gonna be a 6-minute tear jerker deal with autistic kids making 3's or kids in wheelchairs playing football or some other human interest story that happens to peripherally involve a ball somehow?

Posnanski reminds me of him to an extent.  Not that he isn't good at writing the story. 

[cireksu]

Joe Posnanski is a pompas assclown.

He made that line up, huggs was probably telling lance he effed up on D or something.

I am gonna hold you to that JMART, don't break my heart, please.

Joe is good, I don't mind is stuff.  Today was good, he could have had the greatness of Durant too or ku winning another Big 12 title, but he went with something different...and better

I'm a Posnanski Fanski.   

Count me in on that group. Can you make a t-shirt up or something? After reading this column I feel alot better.

[ksu_FAN]

Posnanski is good.  I'm not sure what some of you people want in a columnist. 

[catzacker]

Posnanski is good.  I'm not sure what some of you people want in a columnist. 

I don't like the "Extreme Home Make Over" drama in his columns.  I generally think most columnist suck; beat writers are ten times better. 

[ksu_FAN]

Most columnists do the drama stuff, I like Posnanski b/c he is able to mix in humor.

[greasd up deaf guy]

I actually don't mind the Poz at all. Agree with Jmart.

[michigancat]

Posnanski is good.  I'm not sure what some of you people want in a columnist. 

I like Lutz better.

Yes, Bob Lutz.

[sys]

rusty, your taste in media figures is horrible.  lutz is ok, pretty much everyone else you've ever listed as liking is unlistenable or unwatchable.

I just don't dislike many.  Posnaski is one of the few.  I don't like Rick Reilly, either.

[Skycat]

Poz is pretty good.  That piece in particular was pretty good.  They've got Whitlock to stir things up, Poz does something different.  And usually he does a pretty good job with it.

[purplefreak42]

Posnaski actually has a history with Huggins, he was a writer for a while in Cincinatti, said earlier in the year in one of his columns that Huggins always gave him a hard time.

[Dan Rydell]

I like Posnanski a lot.  I think we're lucky to have him at the Star.

[purplefreak42]

Now if they would just get rid of Fatlock

[ECN]

why did he leave his radio show?

[greasd up deaf guy]

Couldn't get him into the studio anymore.








Physically.
