My Green Obsession: A tale of identity, Joe Namath, and the world’s worst school yard pass

A lonely boy. A larger-than-life hero. And an unlikely connection that will put a smile in your heart.

In this poignant true coming-of-age tale, a boy in 1980’s New York falls in love with the benighted New York Jets. The team holds an almost mystical power over him. During the boy’s darkest days, the club provides hope and companionship – especially Joe Namath, who has retired from the game but still hovers like a guardian angel to ensure the boy’s safe passage to adulthood.

But when a fearsome bully arrives on the scene, he tests the strength of even this deep bond and threatens to dismantle a carefully constructed innocence.

In this witty, insightful, bittersweet and ultimately inspirational short story, Steven Zeitchik, a staff writer at The Washington Post, has crafted a perfect portrait of childhood hope. “My Green Obsession” will speak directly to the soul of anyone whose spirits have ever risen and fallen with the fate of a professional sports team -- and touch deeply any of us who, faced with an impossible challenge, have looked to super-fandom to meet it head-on.
