What I learned in Week 6 of the NFL season

In Week 6 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...Odell Beckham, Jr. thought The Naked Gun was a documentary and heard Lieutenant Frank Drebin say in a scene, "You take a chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street, or sticking your hands in a fan."

- ..., in England, Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders look like a bunch of bloody wankers. 

- ...100% of end-zone celebrators think they can dance and 95% of them are wrong.

- ...there are times Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson holds onto the ball longer than David Duke hangs onto his wallet and hood at a Dollar Store in Harlem. 

- ...RPO (Run Pass Option) doesn't stand for Righteous Pure Orgy.

- ...pulling anyone but the quarterback's hair is perfectly acceptable. Pulling on the quarterback's hair, however, typically results in a minimum of a 15-day sentence, a $1.5 million fine, 150 hours of community service, and a permanent banishment from the league. If the same individual gets convicted of domestic violence, however, they'll automatically be reinstated.

- ..., due to the star Los Angeles Rams running back, it will now be seen as a compliment to be told "you run like a (Todd) Gurley!"

- ...the fade route is less successful than shooting a basketball underhanded from half-court while blindfolded after doing three three wise-men shots.

- ...ESPN's QBR stat is about as reliable as Rip Van Winkle working a night shift and about as accurate as a smoking study conducted by a "scientist" at the Tobacco Industry who goes by the name of Smoky.

- ..., after his playing career is done, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will inevitably become a mall Santa, for  he's used to handing out presents 24/7.

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...
