What I learned in Week 7 of the NFL season

- It's Peyton Manning's wish that his defense learns how to allow fewer than 30 points in a game.

- No matter what their records are, games between Pittsburgh and Baltimore are guaranteed to be close, low-scoring, and more brutal than being dumped on Valentine's Day via text while sitting at an expensive restaurant with some flowers in hand. 

- Case Keenum is Houston Texans' fans new hero, since he didn't throw a pick-six in the team's one-point loss to Kansas City.

- It's sad to think that the Jacksonville Jaguars have shown some signs of improvement these past couple weeks, yet have lost both games by a combined 34 points.

- St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford can't seem to catch a break, unless that term is meant literally, unfortunately.

- The Atlanta Falcons have as hard a time putting away games as blind men do of finding and putting away pet hamsters.

- With Brandon Weeden back at quarterback for the team, the Cleveland Browns now appear to be the top 10-draft pick team upper management was hoping for after trading tailback Trent Richardson.

- The 7-0 Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to become the most boring #1 seed since the New England Patriots. 

- I'm predicting sports-writers and analysts will call on the flip-flop card with regard to Nick Foles and who should start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. This flip-flop card is only supposed to be used once a season, but these writers and analysts use it once...multiple times every week.

- I've never been so excited to see a Monday night game which features an 0-6 team that is the favorite. Bring on the beer and popcorn!

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...
