Over the next few days, every semi-literate human being with a keyboard and an internet connection is going to post a Super Bowl preview. Since I qualify on all counts, here's mine.

But before we get to that, something more interesting than the Super Bowl has begun. All but two teams are now wholeheartedly in the thick of the NFL off-season follies. This one should be a doozy. Two of our mainstays are already back in the news.

Mike Vick may be coming back sooner rather than later. It turns out that part of the reason for his longish 23-month sentence was that he tested positive for ganja when he pled guilty to the dog-fighting charges. Yep, little Ronnie Mexico was bonging himself silly prior to standing before a judge to make his plea. I don't know if that was comically stupid or a valid emotional necessity. Whatever the case, a potential result of completing a drug rehab program while in the pokey would be getting out as early as late this year. Of course he would be leaving prison to face a mountain of debt (probably personal bankruptcy), followed by having to explain his newly exposed weed habit to Roger Goodell (whose lips would be pursed like the Church Lady), then, if re-instated, finding a team that would even consider taking the P.R. risk of inviting him to camp (take off to the Great White North, Mikey). I still think we have seen the last of Vick in the NFL.

We also have a Pacman sighting. And it was at a strip club. Never would have expected that. In this latest incident he was apparently in the middle of a disagreement over money with the female owner of the club. Never would have expected that. In the course of the disagreement he was accused of punching another woman who was present. Never would have expected that. The charges were subsequently dropped meaning either a) the woman was lying, or b) the woman was paid off. The money line on "b" is set at -375. No way does Roger Goodell reinstate him for 2008, which should only send him back to the strip clubs looking for solace. If it doesn't turn deadly, this could be fun.

A couple of potential scandals are going nowhere media-wise. There are still a lot of open questions about the Tony Dungy/Jeff Fisher collusion in Week 17, where there may or may not have been agreement by the teams that the Colts would forego a final opportunity for victory. And there is an entire book coming out about the financing of Reggie Bush at USC entitled Tarnished Heisman. The common thread between these two scandals is that absolutely no one seems to care.

Then we have some minor rumors and absurdities. Joe Theismann suggested himself as a replacement for Matt Millen. That Detroiters shrugged and said "Why not?" succinctly defines the Lions organization. Out west, somebody jostled Al Davis' brain-in-a-jar and he asked Lane Kiffin to voluntarily give up 2 years at 2 million quatloos so he could crown Dennis Green's ass. And ESPN's Dan Patrick owes me a new keyboard for referring to Jessica Simpson as Yoko Romo.
