GOTTA WATCH OUT FOR THOSE 190-FOOTERS

Tidbits for a late afternoon... by the way, who knew that Andre 'Red Light' Racicot was old enough to have a son playing U.S. college hockey?

• From the "good God, no" department:

There have been some whispers that (Brett) Favre would like to see the offense upgraded and, perhaps, even have the Packers trade for disgruntled Oakland receiver Randy Moss. But (Packers coach Mike) McCarthy said the status of the team wasn't on Favre's mind. -- Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Jan. 30

Randy Moss in a Green Bay Packers uniform. It's not fair! We Minnesota Vikings fans (OK, this Vikings fan) have handled everything from the past few years in fairly heroic fashion -- the final-game loss to Arizona in '03; the fallout from Moss' mock mooning; the sex boat; Daunte Culpepper's Mariah-esque meltdown; Brad Childress' play-calling; seeing the Bears advance to the Super Bowl (we've been really good about that one); and now this. That said, the Packers have a ton of cap room, and the move makes too sense not to make.

• Chris Berman is among the "clown quotient" at Super Bowl media day, so says Sports Illustrated. (Via The Big Lead.)

• The most optimistic projection Hardball Times has for Frank Thomas sees him totalling 34 homers with a .375 on-base percentage and .552 slugging percentage.
