What I learned in Week 11 of the NFL season...

In Week 11 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ...it's more fun watching paint dry while completely sober than watching Tennessee and Jacksonville play something resembling football.

- ...the last thing Chip Kelly plans on doing at the moment is singing "Don't Worry, Be Happy" to Philadelphia Eagles fans.

- ...ESPN analysts apparently don't need to take Cialis while talking about Brock Osweiler leading the Denver Broncos to an unprecedented 17 points.

- ...the St. Louis Rams and Philadelphia Eagles are asking for a do-over when they swapped quarterbacks preseason; the New York Jets, however, are not asking for Mark Sanchez back.

- ...the media was probably quite tempted to start yelling at Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins following his team's dismal performance against the Carolina Panthers, "You like that?!? You like that?!?"

- ...it'll only be a matter of time before a referee says, "Breathing in the direction of the receiver, #25, defense, 5-yard penalty, automatic first down."

- ...the St. Louis Rams offense is now the antithesis to "the greatest show on turf."

- ...Joe Flacco and Colin Kaepernick, both out for the rest of the season with injuries, are planning on singing a duet of Michael Jackson's song, "Remember the Time," altering the chorus to, "Do you remember the time when we were really good? Do you remember the time we were in the Super Bowl?"

- ..., after winning for the first time in two months, closing the gap with division-leading New York to two games, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is likely thinking, "We're right where we wanna be. How 'bout them Cowboys?"

- ...refs like to inadvertently blow their whistles when Tom Brady holds balls in his hands.

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
