Just some stuff because it’s Sunday, I’m bored, it’s 90 minutes before game time, and the beverages aint cold yet:

— Some folks are a little too giddy with anticipation regarding what the Patriots offense might have up its sleeve today. Look folks, it’s not going to look that different than it’s looked most of the season. They were phasing Randy Moss out of the offense. No doubt they’ll be defended differently, and the counter-adjustments by the Pats will throw a wrinkle or two in here or there. But the fact is that this is now an offense driven by a short/intermediate passing game revolving around the tight ends and Wes Welker, same as it was two weeks ago and the same as it will be two weeks from now.

— I’m taking just as much pleasure as most people from the Brett Favre saga, but I do feel sorry for his wife and family. Nobody deserves to have their husband/father embarass them like that. And I’m an expert on embarassing the family.

— When did Tom Jackson develop his stuttering problem exactly?

— Danny Woodhead looks like the kid that would wait until after everyone got out of the showers after practice or gym class, then tiptoe in while everyone was getting dressed.

— I love Deadspin. Had it bookmarked since the Will Leitch days. But I can’t help but feel a little dirty reading the current leadership’s explanation of how it obtained its info on the Favre story. If you rely on sites such as Deadspin for your sports news, please read the Poynter Institute’s on-line breakdown of how the story broke.

— What does it say about my web surfing habits when an increasing number of ads on the sites I visit are either trying to warn me about job scams exposed in New Gloucester or the hundreds of women from Leeds who want to meet me?

— There is nothing tastier than the crunchy cheesy part of a big dish of homemade macaroni and cheese.

— Thanks to Larry King for contributing. Now, back to sports. I’m loving all the NFL parity right now, but it actually becomes less and less appealing as the season progresses. Come playoff time, you need a clear favorite or two co-favorites in each conference. You just do.

— I’ve watched bits and pieces of the Celtics this preseason, and was fortunate to witness Tommy Heinsohn’s on-air meltdown over the tech-happy officials live (don’t panic, fellow ref-haters, this too shall pass). I’m not ready to predict Banner No. 18 yet, but these thoughts are beginning to develop: 1) They’re going to be a lot of fun to watch; 2) This might be the deepest Celtic team of my lifetime and 3) Kevin Garnett looks 10-15 percent better than he did all last year.

— Give the Rangers credit for bouncing back from the crushing Game 1 loss. I’m glad they’ve gotten over it because I haven’t. Having the Yankees down 0-2 with Cliff Lee toeing the rubber for Game 3 would have been delicious.

— I really need to get a beverage. I just wrote an abstract delicious in a sports blog.
