What I learned in Week 11 of the NFL season

In Week 11 of the NFL season I learned that...

- ...nobody circles the wagons like Frank Reich against the Buffalo Bills.

- ..., after the season, Baker Mayfield is scheduled to undergo a full-body transplant.

- ...the soap opera known as the Las Vegas Raiders will soon appear on "The Maury Povich Show," where they will ultimately learn who their father is.

- ...anyone who sat through the entirety of the Dolphins/Jets game was automatically entered into a raffle for a chance to win $100,000. As there were no entries, we'll have to wait until next year for a winner.

- ...it appears the Pete Carroll-Russell Wilson marriage will be coming to an end. While Wilson will fall back to his girl on the side - Ciara, Carroll will start training for the Olympics.

- ..., with his four picks against the lowly Houston Texans on Sunday, Ryan Tannehill is now being rumored to be the Atlanta Falcons quarterback of the future.

- ...it's just the right dose and prescription when Dr. Rodgers gets a taste of his own medicine.

- ...the NFL has become more unpredictable than weather forecasts in never-never land.

- ..., given his play, Jonathan Taylor is set to star in the latest rendition of "Beauty & the Beast." No, he's not the beauty...

- ...Aaron Rodgers' toe hurts. Chances are he'll treat it with a combination of Dimetapp, Imodium, and Pepto Bismol.

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...
