In the NFL preseason thus far, I've learned that...

- ...(soon to be former) Washington Redskins quarterback RG III will likely alter his name to Bob Griffin to see if his play on the field and reputation on social media will change with it.

- ..., after having his best showing since he was a Philadelphia Eagle, Pittsburgh Steelers back-up quarterback Michael Vick called fellow Virginia Tech Hokie, now starting quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, Tyrod Taylor, and said these two words with regard to starting under head coach Rex Ryan: "Good luck!"

- ...the only people who dislike Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler more than his opponents are his teammates.

- ...ESPN will orgasm for 24 consecutive hours if Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tim Tebow start in the same week over the course of the season.

- ...players from winning teams will continue to thank God for their wins, while players from losing teams will continue to leave God out of the conversation and say they need to suck less.

- ...New England Patriots starting quarterback Tom Brady will play with big balls.

- ...New York Giants starting quarterback Eli Manning will contemplate leaving football to star as the lead actor in a Forrest Gump remake.

- ...(now former) Oakland Raiders running back Trent Richardson is likely a virgin, for he can't even see a hole 10 feet wide.

- ...Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh will get placed on the FBI's Most Wanted List by season's end due to the high quantity of close calls he's had killing people on the field.

- ...the biggest preseason bet isn't who's going to win the Super Bowl; it's what's more likely, New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin lights up a room with his smile or Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Sam Bradford finishes a season healthy?

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...
