What I learned in Week 15 of the NFL season

In Week 15 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...the old saying should be altered from "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!" to "If you can't coach in the rain, cold, or heat, you're probably Freddie Kitchens!"

- ...the Cincinnati Bengals have become the Jerry Springer Show of the NFL, as no matter how bad you think you have it, watching them makes you feel a whole hell of a lot better about yourself and life.

- ...Oakland's final game at The Black Hole was, as Cher Horowitz would say, "Like so Raiders! Fer shure! OMG!"

- ..., if this whole coaching thing doesn't work out, Mike Vrabel will inevitably star in the new reality show, What the Hell Do You Want? Mike Vrabel's Adventures in Speed-Dating.

- ..., with his moves, it's only a matter of time before Lamar Jackson moonwalks into the end zone. The touchdown celebration will then, of course, be the "Thriller" dance.

- ..., if the Chargers turned the ball over for the whole season at the clip they set this past Sunday, they would have come close to equaling that of the Trump Administration.

- ..., at the ripe young age of 143, Eli Manning still throws interceptions with the best of them (Jameis Winston).

- ..., when Rex Ryan referred to Mitchell Trubisky as Mitchell Vick in his preview of the Bears/Packers game, attempting to highlight the Chicago quarterback's underheralded and underutilized speed, even pitbulls felt sorry for the former Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback.

- ...Matt Patricia is slated to star alongside Bill Belichick in a Brokeback Mountain sequel, where the former tells the latter, "I wish I hadn't quit you!"

- ...the San Francisco 49ers are the first team to lose all their regular season games at the last second since the Cleveland Browns, whom once lost all their regular season games even after time expired.

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...
