What I learned in Week 13 of the NFL season...

In Week 13 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ..., after the division's pitiful showing on Sunday, Unsolved Mysteries will be airing an episode, entitled, "The AFC North: How can the teams all be above .500?"

- ..., with their two main NFL teams combining to go 5-18 (pending the Monday night outcome, sorry Buffalo), New York and New Jersey residents will be throwing an At-Least-We-Have-Rutgers party in the near future.

- ...the Oakland Raiders may have wanted to follow the St. Louis Rams' lead, protested the Ferguson police shooting, so they could have received notice for something other than their play on the field.

- ..., with their two teams at 7-5, the Harbaughs are tentatively planning on hosting a party shortly after the regular season ends, and will call it, "Remember when we were in the Super Bowl that one year?"

- , whether it's 100 degrees or 20 and snowing, Bill Belichick looks cold.

- ...it's unlikely Jerry Jones will say, "How about them Cowboys defense?" anytime in the near future.

- ...the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys will soon start a new trend in comedy, where they'll generate hundreds of your-defense-is-so-bad jokes.

- ...the quarterback situation is so bad in Arizona, the Cardinals have asked Matt Leinart if he'd like to play again.

- ..., after protesting the ruling of the Ferguson police shooting, the St. Louis Rams may want to start protesting the fact they play in the NFC West and not the NFC South.

- ..., to provide the ultimate challenge for himself, Chip Kelly will attempt to make Ryan Leaf a successful NFL quarterback.

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...
