Congrats to Joe Posnaski to landing a senior writer gig at Sports Illustrated. And props to SI for nabbing Pos:
Dan Jenkins, when he was offered his job at Sports Illustrated, went to his friends at the newspaper in Texas and basically said (I wish I had my copy of my friend Michael’s book The Franchise with me so I could quote this properly): “I’d like to stay with y’all but … the New York Yankees just called.” I never wanted to play for the Yankees, of course, but I feel the sentiment. I had one of the best jobs in the world. I was offered the best.
So, sure, I took the job. It’s like Arthur says at the end of the movie: “I kept the money, I’m not crazy.”
Congrats to Pos - he's awesome! i hope he keeps up on his blog, it's pretty ruling!

Poor kid. At least he has a cooler name than me, can jump higher than me, and can tell his kids he played for the Yankees the year they won the world series.
Alex - I know you're a fan of Pat Jordan and he has a nice article on aging in the September issue of Men's Journal magazine - enjoy.
6) Thanks, I've read it and really enjoyed it. The last line is a killer. Too bad they didn't put it on-line.
