Once again, Tebow gets all the credit for the Broncos' 16-13 victory

I really wish the Broncos' defense would cut it out. For the fourth time in Tim Tebow's six starts with the club this year, the Broncos yielded 15 points or less, in holding San Diego to 13. But, of course, it was Tim Tebow and that explosive Broncos offense which was the main reason for the team's 16-13 overtime victory. I'm sure the defense is getting a little tired of Tebow being heralded so much, as they've hardly gone noticed in the team's recent victories. Excluding the 38 points the Broncos scored against Oakland, they have put up the following point totals with Tebow under center: 18, 10, 17, 17 and 16. Yup, that's it.

Can we please just tell it like it is? Tim Tebow is not losing games for the Denver Broncos. That's it. He's been a more athletic version of Trent Dilfer when he was with the Baltimore Ravens. Tebow isn't the fastest guy in the league, but is a big, powerful runner, who has turned the ball over just one time in his six starts. With the Broncos now being the top rushing offense in the league, all Tebow has needed to do is complete a pass here and there, run effectively and not turn the ball over and he has done that. The running backs, defense and special teams have taken care of the rest. That's it. That's been the formula. So long as the tailbacks are effective, the special teams do their job and the defense plays well, in conjunction with Tebow not turning the ball over and making a play here and there, the Broncos will have a chance to win ball games. However, if one of those components has an off-game and Tebow is forced out of his comfort zone and has to throw the ball accurately and often, that will cause problems for both he and the team.

Up next for the Broncos is an away game against the 2-9 Minnesota Vikings. Considering their opponent, this could very well be another victory for Denver, which would vault them to 7-5 in the AFC West. In the meantime, I'm going to overstock on Advil, as I sit through the Tebow orgasms shared by the likes of Skip Bayless and other such ESPN commentators. For these guys, Viagra is no longer necessary. They'll soon come out with a similar product - Tebow. As the games typically last about 3 hours, these commentators should be safe from having to call their doctor due to having an erection lasting more than four hours.

P.S. I would like to congratulate Tim Tebow for completing 50% of his passes in Sunday's game against the Chargers (9 for 18). It was the first time in his six starts that he's accomplished this feat.

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
