What I learned in Week 9 of the NFL season

In Week 9 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...New Orleans can win as many road games every year as there are February 14ths.

- ...Jim Harbaugh is wondering if the Kansas City Chiefs would be willing to trade Alex Smith for Colin Kaepernick - that or if he should go back to college.

- ...Michael Vick is secretly wishing he was still hurt so he wouldn't be forced to start for the New York Jets ever again.

- ...Mark Sanchez's biggest fear is to have a butt-fumble-part-deux while starting in Philadelphia (that or his first penis fumble).

- ..., even after passing for 438 yards and seeing his defense (and special teams) give up 43 points on Sunday, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning decided to take the blame, saying, "If I had just yelled 'Omaha' a few more times, maybe we could have scored more points than we did."

- ..., slipping to 6-3 following two consecutive losses, Dallas Cowboys players and management got in touch with their inner-Dennis Green and said, "We've been .500 for how many years now? We are who they thought we were!"

- ...Cam Newton is starting to worry that the little boy starring across from him in a commercial will soon take his starting job.

- ...the San Diego Chargers will be scheduled to have a series of meetings this week, all called, "WTF Was That?"

- ..., after their 8th consecutive loss, Oakland Raiders players and coaches all said something close to, "We put in a lot of hard work and effort week in and week out to find ways to lose at the end of games."

- ...Ben Roethlisberger hasn't removed his Superman costume for the past couple of weeks.

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...
