Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Ultra Bowl by I.J. Weinstock

This book is more visceral than cerebral.   Football aficionados
will find it more palatable than the rest of the world.  I'm not sure it is a YA book but it reads as if it is.   An award winning football team is drafted to the future.

The premise of the book is a stretched version of the current concerns about the safety of football.   Recent players who have retired rather than play bring more feasibility to the premise of the book.   If you take automated pitchers from baseball or tennis ball throwing machines and project their genealogy into the future you might find the probability of the book increasing. 

Far fetched comes to mind when reading the book and that is from a die hard SciFi fan.   With that said, I enjoyed the book.   It was a fast paced read and carried some current concerns to a seemingly logical conclusion.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
