What I learned in Week 10 of the NFL season

In Week 10 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...the only ones in attendance at the New York trash bowl between the Jets and Giants were rats - ten of them.

- ...the Miami Dolphins are better than I thought they were, much like getting hit by a semi-truck going 110 mph is better than getting hit by one going 111 mph.

- ..., even if the NFL were a flag football league, the Cincinnati Bengals would always find a way to lose, as every Bengals player would kneel at the sight of a flag - to the point where even Colin Kaepernick would shout, "Get your dumb asses up!"

- ...the Kansas City Chiefs defense is so bad, Northwestern could score on them.

- ...the league should permit marijuana use by players, if only to clam down one particular individual. The implementation would go by the name The Token By The (Philip) Rivers Rule.

- ...Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett are slated to co-author the book, "How to Underachieve, Ya'll."

- ...it clearly states in the NFL rule book, "If a defender grabs a hold of a receiver before the ball arrives and appears to dance with him, it is not interference. It isn't even reviewable. The receiver should just thank the defender; grab him by the hand; and take a bow alongside him."

- ...Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff may soon be nicknamed the Golden Earring of the league, as it appears he may be a two-hit wonder.

- ...a team may sign Antonio Brown just to release him, for the Steelers, Raiders, and Patriots are now a combined 18-9. The move will reportedly be referred to as, "Bye Bye SOB AB."

- ...the New Orleans Saints apparently forgot to adjust their mental clocks for Daylight Savings...

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...
