What I learned in Week 12 of the NFL regular season

- Brandon Weeden will be out of the league at this time next year, instead teaching a class on how to turn the ball over more than rock stars get laid. The class will be called Weedenology 101.

- Matthew Stafford's second favorite receiver, next to Calvin Johnson, is an opponent.

- Houston and Atlanta have gone from becoming the two most disappointing teams in all of football to two teams battling it out for the top pick in next year's draft. If Houston lands the top spot, expect for them to take a quarterback. If Atlanta gets the top pick, they'll ask if they can draft an entire defense.

- St. Louis quarterback Kellen Clemens is bragging to Sam Bradford that the Rams have scored 80 points in their past two games - both wins against Indianapolis and Chicago, where the back-up didn't have to do a whole lot. Then when he saw the team's remaining schedule, Clemens attempted to do everything in his power to speed up Bradford's recovery process. In four of their final five games, their opponents have a combined 32-11 record (San Francisco, Arizona, New Orleans, and Seattle).

- While ESPN loves giving all the credit for Carolina's recent winning ways to quarterback Cam Newton, I think Danny DeVito could play quarterback for the Panthers right now and have a winning record due to how good their defense is.

- Geno Smith, Eli Manning, Andy Dalton, Brandon Weeden, and Matthew Stafford will be hosting an interception camp in the summer of next year.

- Due to how poorly their defense has been playing, former linebacker Brian Urlacher has requested that Chicago changes its nickname to the Baby Bears.

- Andrew Luck is reportedly requesting to go back to college with a team that features a running game and a defense.

- With his beard, if things don't work out for Tennessee back-up quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in the NFL, he could be a good fit for the Boston Red Sox.

- This just in: The Denver Broncos and New England Patriots have more than their quarterbacks on the field when they play one another!

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...
