The day after the Super Bowl is a day for NFL fans to wind down, and it’s a day for sports-haters to vent their hot air. I get it, people are sour because NBA players show up to practice with guns, NFL players accidentally shoot themselves, excessively celebrate. All hockey players do is fight. Baseball …
