What I learned in Week 14 of the NFL season

In Week 14 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., if feeling sorry for the New England Patriots getting hosed by the refs were a Democratic candidate, it'd be polling behind Bill De Blasio, who dropped out of the race a couple months ago.

- ..., more than herring, cod, or even mackerel, Dolphins like field goals.

- ..., and the winner for 1st Prize in "America's Funniest Home Videos" this week is... Drumroll please... The Pittsburgh Steelers fake punt attempt! Congratulations!

- ...Odell Beckham's sports hernia injury has confounded doctors, for they had no idea that potential side effects of the condition included funky hair and being awesome at handling balls.

- ..., if something flies by you so fast you couldn't make out what it was, it was probably Tyreek Hill.

- ...Jerry Jones has gone from, "How 'bout them Cowboys?!?" to saying, "How 'bout that (bleepin') (bleep) (bleepity) (bleep) (bleep) (bleep)?!?"

- ...Lions fans will inevitably start chanting, "Blough Blows," in reference to their 3rd-string quarterback. Drunkards at the game, on the other hand, will likely change, "Blow Blough!"

- ...a half-man/half-horse, formerly known as a centaur, will now be called a (Greg) Kittle.

- ..., when asked about the Houston Texans' performance against the Denver Broncos, Donald Trump reportedly said, "They lay eggs; they lay the best eggs, believe me!"

- ..., when Mike Tomlin's handed shit, he makes the best shit sandwich imaginable.

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...
