What I learned in Week 10 of the NFL season...

In Week 10 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...it's quite possible that before his atrocious performance on Thursday night, the red-haired Andy Dalton had 30 red beers to match his completion percentage.

- ...Detroit coaches need to hypnotize their offense to think that, for all 60 minutes, there are under 2 minutes to play in the game.

- ...Michael Vick should start campaigning for a starting job next year by saying, "With this bad team, I can win as many games in two weeks as Geno Smith can win in two months!"

- ...Ben Roethlisberger likely woke up Monday morning, called his coaches, and said, "Today's Sunday, right? Wait - that really happened? Sh*t! I'm going back to bed!"

- ...Oakland coaches' inspiring message to their players this week is, "We had them! We played right with the 7-2 Denver Broncos and were up 10-6 at one point! We may have gotten outscored 35-7 after that, but still, we had them right where we wanted them for a few minutes!"

- ...Eli Manning and Drew Brees will be swapping turnover tips to one another this coming week, before calling Brett Favre and asking him for some advice on the matter.

- ...if Arizona scores two defensive touchdowns every week, it won't matter if their starting quarterback is Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton, Ryan Leaf, or Steve Urkel.

- ...in two weeks, the New Orleans Saints snapped their 7-game road losing streak and their 11-game home winning streak. According to the book of Revelation, those are two signs that the end of the world is near. The third is the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series.

- ...Jay Cutler may soon join Matt Leinart and Heath Shuler in the Dish-Network-going-back-to-college commercial.

- ...Aaron Rodgers won't be telling Chicago Bears fans to "relax" anytime soon, unless he wants to piss them off even further.

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...
