What I learned in Week 9 of the NFL season

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

- ...Oakland's so bad, they're about to receive more Razzie nominations than an Adam Sandler film.

- ..., picking between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers is apparently like picking between the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. Having said that, Brady's likely songs would be "Gimme Gisele" and "Time Is On My Side," while Rodgers's would be "All You Need Is Munn" and "We Can Work It Out." But I say, let's just enjoy these two great quarterbacks while they're still in the league and appreciate their talents. So in other words, "Let It Be."

- ...Jeff Foxworthy needs to watch a Detroit Lions game so he can start telling the joke, "If your name is Jim Bob Cooter, you might be a redneck."

- ...the world would be a better place if millennials followed in NFL players' footsteps, where they'd gather with friends at a public place and pose for a picture while holding a make-believe camera or smartphone.

- ...the Detroit Lions protect Matthew Stafford about as well as a holed-up baby sock protects a porn star named Raul Longinschwantz against impregnating a woman.

- ..., when opposing defenses around the league asked Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman to be their BFF, he happily accepted.

- ..., after missing two extra points, Los Angeles Chargers placekicker Caleb Sturgis's job is about as safe as driving in reverse down the Autobahn at 180 mph after hanging out with Willie Nelson for 3 hours in his tour bus.

- ..., when Carrie Underwood sings "Game on!," I'm quite tempted to turn the game off.

- ...the New England Patriots get away with more picks than a guy named Stinky Pete with a wedgie problem at a movie theater.

- ..., if the New England Patriots ran an interception back for a touchdown and Tom Brady was sleeping on the sideline, Cris Collinsworth would say, "That was all Tom Brady right there. Did you see that snore on the sideline? That was part of a secret language between Brady and whoever scored. Just unbelievable."

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...
