What I learned in Week 16 of the NFL season...

In Week 16 of the NFL season, I learned that...

- ...the Buffalo Bills have diagnosed themselves as bipolar, as they experienced the high of their season a week ago in a win against 10-3 Green Bay before experiencing their low of the season just a week a later in a loss to 2-12 Oakland.

- ...in the off-season, the Cleveland Browns will likely ask LeBron James to start at quarterback for them.

- ...the Thursday night game between 2-12 Tennessee and 2-12 Jacksonville was said to be like watching paint dry, except watching paint dry would have been more entertaining.

- ...J.J. Watt's diet mainly consists of: Beef, water, and quarterbacks.

- ...Mark Sanchez misses his butt-fumble days.

- ..., even when ill, Aaron Rodgers is better than most quarterbacks in the league and has a tendency of making opposing defenses feel sick by game's end.

- ...Saints fans may start wearing bags over their heads again at home games.

- ...Joe Flacco may start asking President Obama to mistakenly call him Joe Franco.

- ...Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is likely excited about his team's 4-11 record, and in the off-season, will jubilantly tell fans, "We're improving! At the rate we're going, we'll go 6-10 in two years!"

- ...Jim Harbaugh is torn between staying in California or moving to Michigan. For most sports analysts and shrinks, this was the final straw to declaring Harbaugh as crazy.

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...
