What I learned in Week 8 of the NFL season

In Week 8 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...Tom Brady may have had more to do with the Belichick magic than his hoodie.

- ...the New York Jets suck more than Donald Trump does Vladimir Putin on Valentine's Day.

- ..., since no one on his team seems able to pronounce his name, Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has told his teammates to simply call him T.T. or Taco Bell.

- ..., rumor has it both Lamar Jackson and Jared Goff recently undergone vasectomies, for they keep seeming to lose their balls.

- ..., when asked about the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, the construction workers from the film "Major League" said, "These guys aren't too f*cking bad."

- ..., after pulling Patrick Mahomes out early in back-to-back weeks, doctors have diagnosed the Kansas City Chiefs with premature domination.

- ...Dalvin Cook has got so much game, he can even score on virgins named Chastity McNocoitusforyou.

- ..., due to the record number of penalties being called, what was once coined "tennis elbow" will now be termed "flag-throwing arm."

- ...the word "least" called and said it wanted to be changed to "even worse than that," so no one could ever again say, "You can't spell 'least' without (NFC) 'East.'"

- ...there will inevitably be a film released in the next handful of years, entitled, "The Curious Case of Cam Newton," where just overnight, a 31-year-old man looks 78.

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...
