FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots are getting into regular-season mode and continued to prepare for the Buffalo Bills Wednesday at Gillette Stadium.

•Cornerback Shawn Springs is very familiar with Bills wide receiver Terell Owens — he has played in the same division as T.O. since he entered the league in 1997. From the NFC West to the NFC East to the AFC East, T.O. and Springs have always seemed to find a way to compete against each other. On Wednesday, Springs talked to reporters about Owens.

•Rookie defensive lineman Ron Brace spoke to reporters as he prepares for his first NFL regular season game.

•Offensive linemen Logan Mankins and Dan Koppen spoke Wednesday as well, and are excited to be lining up with Tom Brady behind them.

FOXBOROUGH — One reason to stick around two hours in the Gillette Stadium work room is to listen to players like Terrell Owens.

He, like Chad Ochocinco of the Bengals in the second preseason game, certainly make it worthwhile to hang around because you never know what he might say.

Such as:

Taking a shot at the Patriots Spygate controversy of 2007 when asked if he has anything up his sleeve.

Admitting he’s NOT a big fan of coach Dick Jauron’s no-huddle offense.

Telling the world that Bill Belichick went out and got Shawn Springs to cover him in two games.

He’s not going to try to match Randy Moss play for play.

And finally…

At 35, he’s drinking from the fountain of youth.

FOXBOROUGH — Just finished up a wide-ranging conference call with Buffalo wide receiver Terrell Owens. (It really was something. Here’s a sample — on whether he likes the no huddle: “No, not really. But I have to deal with it.”) We’ll have the full transcript up shortly. (UPDATE: You can find it here.)

The call concluded with a reporter asking if he had anything “special” planned for Monday night against the Patriots. “No,” he said, waiting a beat before adding with a big laugh in a semi-sarcastic tone, “but I might bring my spy camera out though. Tell Belichick I said hello. I’ll see him Monday.” Zing!
