What I learned in Week 3 of the NFL season...

In Week 3 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...if Who Wants to Be the Unluckiest Millionaire? were a show, Miami Dolphins quarterback Josh Rosen would undoubtedly be the host.

- ..., at some point this season, Jason Alexander will likely post a revised video clip of a famous scene from Seinfeld, where he goes from saying "Oh, yeah?!? Well, the Jerk Store called and they're running out of you!" to "Oh, yeah?!? Well, the '70s Porn Star called and they're running out of Gardner Minshew!"

- ...Ohio Bobcats head coach Frank Solich is apparently calling 4th-and-9 plays in the 4th quarter for the Cleveland Browns.

- ...the 3-0 Buffalo Bills are to undefeated teams what Chuck E. Cheese is to the entertainment industry.

- ..., next week, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's going to ask his opponent for six mulligans.

- ...Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is going to start wearing pre-game helmets.

- ..., even when attempting a field goal, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh asks to go for 2.

- ...the next major pinball game will inevitably be called Alvin Kamara.

- ..., if the Cincinnati Bengals were any worse, they'd be the Miami Dolphins.

- ...the psychic version of Albert Einstein once said, "The second-coming of me will be none other than a guy by the name of Booger McFarland on Monday Night Football."

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...
