What I learned in Week 13 of the NFL season

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

- ..., in Chicago, Akiem Hicks is now known as the mini-fridge. William Perry strongly agrees. 

- ...even eagles and pilots don't recognize Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers without his goatee.

- ...when proposing to Gisele, Tom Brady probably took a knee on one of her feet. 

- ...Jeff Driskel is who Cincinnati Bengals' fans have long been wishing for - meaning he's the guy who will help finally end the Marvin Lewis tenure. There's a reason his initials of JD sound so similar to JC...

- ...it now appears that, after his playing days are done, Seattle Seahawks place-kicker Sebastian Janikowski will either start singing opera or become a contestant on the show The Biggest Loser.

- ... , at the next Olympics, New York Giants tailback Saquon Barkley will compete in the following events: High jump, long jump, triple jump, 40-meter dash, hurdles, and a new one called "making something out of nothing behind a porous New York Giants offensive line." He's bound to place in at least one of these - yes, the hurdles...

- ...Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield apparently suffers from a condition known as BJ, which is Jersey Blindness for dyslexics.

- ...former Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will now join ex-Baltimore Ravens tailback Ray Rice in the upcoming Mel Gibson-directed film, What Women Don't Want.

- ...the San Francisco 49ers' defense whines, cries, and complains so much, they often get mistaken for an NBA team.

- ...Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder's wish of his team's playoff hopes resting on the shoulders of a man who has been nicknamed butt-fumble Sanchez has finally come true. Congratulations.

    Yes! The constant whining, crying, and complaining that make up at least 98% of every NBA game are the reasons it's almost impossible for me to watch an entire game start to finish. I just can't seem to muster the kind of sympathy they're looking for. Awww, you poor thing, you're getting paid millions of dollars to bounce a ball, and another player had the nerve to sneeze in your general direction??? I know the solution, let's cry about it... Just don't look for me to pass the Kleenex. I just had a thought. The NHL has a penalty box. Would the NBA equivalent be the Time Out Chair? Lol and another great post! :)

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...
