The Tim Tebow era comes to an end in New York...and what an era it was...

After drafting West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, the New York Jets felt there really was no point in holding onto back-up quarterback Tim Tebow and let him go today, after just one season with the team.

In his much publicized career with the Jets, Tebow finished it having completed 6 of 8 passes for 39 yards. He also ran the ball 32 times for 102 yards.

After hearing the news, many Jets players sounded disappointed, saying things such as:

"Da*n! The bench is going to be colder now!"

"Man... Now when I throw a bad pass, I can't say, 'Hey coach, at least I can throw it better than Tebow!'"

"Aw... Who am I going to go clubbing with now?"

Rumor has it that Tebow will join ESPN and be called upon as a quarterback analyst, where the man who completed just 47.9% of his passes throughout his NFL career will, while watching tape, almost constantly say, "Man, I wish I could throw the  ball like that!"

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
