New CC issue?

[TanksAndSpartans]

I think there is a new CC issue out, but the January 14, 2018 post is a little different than the November 5, 2017 post for the prior issue in terms of not announcing it specifically, but mentioning two of the articles http://www.profootballresearchers.org

When can we expect it? Also, did I miss out on the NOV-DEC issue?

There have been a few delays with the last issue of 2017. It should be going to the printer shortly and you will have it in February. Two of the articles were posted on the website and the third will be posted this weekend. The first issue of this year will follow.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Great, thanks Ken.
