What I learned in Week 1 of the NFL season...

In Week 1 of the NFL season, I learned...

- ..., that for at least one week, courtesy of Tom Brady, 40 is not the new 25.

- ...Rex Ryan is about as gifted of an announcer as he was a coach.

- ...Carson Palmer is now showing his age on the field more than Hugh Hefner is at a nude beach.

- ..., if things don't start to improve, Russell Wilson may refer to his offensive line as "The Broken Condom."

- ...Matthew Stafford has a serious fear of playing while ahead.

- ...all the Rams needed to wake their offense up from a deeper slumber than Rip Van Winkle was to move from St. Louis to Los Angeles.

- ...the New York Giants' offense without Odell Beckham is like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without PB & J.

- ...that referee John Hussey may be actor Tim Bagley's clone. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0046730/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t7, https://www.google.com/search?q=ref+john+hussey&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiqkYmOxaDWAhWMLSYKHQfrAPcQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1342&bih=770)

- ...the Indianapolis Colts may be an average team with Andrew Luck, but they make the Cleveland Browns look like a Super Bowl contender without him.

- ...a lot of money may have been lost, as the two biggest blowouts wins were held by the Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars, two teams that combined to go 7-25 last year. As Chris Myers used to say on SportsCenter, "That deserves a wow."

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
