       Professional football is taking some critical hits. No, not helmet-to-helmet. On a "defenseless" receiver. Or brushing against the facemask of a quarterback.

                      So not happy with the two teams headed to the Super Bowl. The two-brothers hype will be unbearable. Especially since only one of them is likable. Tomorrow there will be a review of the new Athol Dickson e-book January Justice, a departure from his "magical realism" fare. January Justice is my new favorite of…
