What I learned in Week 6 of the NFL season

In Week 6 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...in order for the Houston Texans to be in playoff contention at the end of the year, they'll need to make some clones of J.J. Watt, and play him on offense, defense, and special teams.

- ...at the end of the season, Tennessee and Jacksonville will likely alter their nicknames to the Don't Remember These Titans and Baby Jaguars.

- ...Lovie Smith wishes he hadn't been so bored that he took the job in Tampa. During Sunday games, he spends half of it fantasizing about golf courses and boredom.

- ...Geno Smith's prom photo was likely of him throwing a pick-six while dressed in a suit and a helmet.

- ..., to this day, no one is certain what to tell the media after a tie. Approximately 1 in 3 say, "Well, we didn't lose, so that's good." Another 1/3 say, "We didn't win, right?" The final 1/3 say, "So, when's the second overtime?"

- ...Tom Brady is as washed up as politicians are honest, talking heads are quiet, and dogs are independent.

- ..., even down by 4 with a few seconds left, Aaron Rodgers sings Frankie Goes To Hollywood's song "Relax" to his teammates.

- ...Kirk Cousins decided to celebrate Christmas early this year - twice in the past three weeks as a matter of fact. Yes, it's been an expensive holiday season.

- ...the Pittsburgh Steelers defense has gone from the "Steel Curtain" to calling their wives after six games into the regular season and saying, "Honey, be thinking about what new curtains we should buy after the season's over. So, right after our game in Week 17, we'll go shopping."

- ..., for the second time in two weeks (the only two times this season), a team from New York put up as many points as Danny DeVito has Super Bowl rings. Frank Sinatra, take it away...

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
