What I learned in Week 4 of the NFL season...

In week 4 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...Pittsburgh Steelers place kicker Josh Scobee and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee should combine their last names so they're both more appropriately called Mr. Suckabee.

- ..., if things continue as they have been, several Miami Dolphins players may go the way of Ray Finkle and undergo sex changes to save themselves from further embarrassment.

- ...Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan and St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher may find their innermost Dennis Green at some point during the season and yell at the media, "We're not sure who we think we are!"

- ...Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly may be featured on Saturday Night Live at some point during this season, where he will present the following Jack Handey-esque version of Deep Thoughts: "I wonder if it was the best of ideas to part ways with Pro Bowl quarterbacks Michael Vick and Nick Foles, Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy, Pro Bowl wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis, and other Pro Bowlers from two 10-6 teams."

- ...the AFC South teams, with a combined record of 6-10, are in a heated battle to be named the best of the worst come season's end.

- ...kickers' and Congress' approval ratings are virtually identical nationwide.

- ...Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is going to propose rule changes for field goals to be worth 5 points a piece and for extra points to be worth 0, thinking to himself, "If that were the case, we would have won 35-32."

- ...the Houston Texans are asking for permission to clone J.J. Watt so he can play quarterback for them in place of Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer.

- ..., after starting 0-2 without the likes of Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to tell the press, "How 'bout them Cowboys...when they're fully healthy?"

- ...the Detroit Lions' roar on the road with Matthew Stafford behind center against teams that finish above .500 is but a soft meow.

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...
