Unless you're a Pats fans, do you really care to watch this game? It has zero implications on the playoffs.
Is it that big of a deal that CBS and NBC are both carrying this game?

That Moss will be taking Rice's record even though Rice did it in 12 games instead of 16?

They say Jerry Rice has the most receiving touchdowns in a season. He did it in only 12 games. Why was it only 12 games? Did he get hurt or was the season only 12 games long?

I had some high hopes for the Saints, but I guess I was wrong.

Now, whether you'd like it or not, they are one of, it not the best team in NFL history, what with being on the verge of the only 16-game winning season as well as breaking numerous offensive marks on the way.
Some Records Already Broken:
- Most consecutive games to throw at least 3 TDs: 10
- Most games in a season to throw at least 3 TDs: 12 (with one game left)
- Most games with at least 400 yards offense: 12 (with one game left)
- Most consecutive games with at least 400 yards offense: 8
- Most TDs scored in a season: 71 (with . . . well, see above)
- Most consecutive wins with which to start a season: 15
- Most points ever through Week 5 (this record continued throughout the season, meaning they had the most points in NFL history through each week)
- Highest scoring differential in NFL history: 312 points (20.8 p/g, with one game left)
Records on the verge of breaking:
Single-season passing TD record:
Record: 49 . . . . Current: 48

Ok when you throw 3 tds and 7 ints it is considered choking. But when you lose on the road to the playoffs by throwing 5tds and 1 pick it is NOOOT CONSIDERED CHOKING. Anyone else think that there's a lot of brainless people on Y/A that can't post a comment with a logic to it?

NEW YORK (AP) -- After weeks of insisting they wouldn't cave in, NFL officials did just that Wednesday. Now all of America can see the Patriots' shot at history.

Saturday night's game between New England and the New York Giants on the NFL Network, which is available in fewer than 40 percent of the nation's homes with TVs, will be simulcast on CBS and NBC.

The Patriots could become the first NFL team to go 16-0 in the regular season.

"We have taken this extraordinary step because it is in the best interest of our fans," commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement after the league announced it was reversing course. "What we have seen for the past year is a very strong consumer demand for NFL Network. We appreciate CBS and NBC delivering the NFL Network telecast on Saturday night to the broad audience that deserves to see this potentially historic game. Our commitment to the NFL Network is stronger than ever."

NFL Network spokesman Seth Palansky said officials would have no further comment Wednesday.

The NFL had claimed that the onus of making the game widely available fell on the major cable providers with which the league has bitterly feuded. Companies such as Comcast and Time Warner have declined to carry the network as part of basic packages.

But lawmakers have pressured the NFL to ensure more viewers could see the game. Last week, two prominent members of the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Goodell threatening to reconsider the league's antitrust exemption.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who co-wrote the letter with Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said he was "delighted" by the NFL's concession.

"I think it was a smart move on their part," he said in a phone interview.

Leahy expected to speak with Goodell again next month about the ongoing question of how many fans will be able to see games on the channel. Saturday's matchup wraps up the NFL Network's second season of airing live contests, with eight per year. This one and a key Thursday night game between Green Bay and Dallas last month drew widespread complaints about the lack of availability.

"I never completely gave up hope, but I was getting a little discouraged Christmas afternoon when we still had not gotten a positive answer," said Leahy, who added that his staff members were talking with NFL officials during the holiday.

Local TV affiliates in the Boston, Manchester, N.H., and New York areas that were already set to simulcast the game under NFL policy will still air it. That means viewers in those markets will have four channels to choose from if they get NFL Network.

That did not make officials at WWOR in New York happy.

"The NFL is in clear violation of their agreement with WWOR/My9," the station said in a statement. "We fully expect the league to honor their commitment to My9 as the exclusive free over-the-air broadcaster for Saturday's telecast of the New England Patriots at New York Giants game."

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who had urged cable and NFL executives to settle the dispute, had a much more positive reaction to the league's announcement.

"I couldn't be more thrilled that as the Patriots rush toward an historic undefeated season, football fans everywhere have won a victory of their own," Kerry said. "With today's announcement, the NFL showed their loyalty to the sports fans who made the NFL an empire in the first place.

"The best news of all is that now no die-hard Pats fans will be shut out from watching their team take aim at football history," Kerry said in a statement.

This will be the first three-network simulcast in NFL history and the first simulcast of an NFL game since the inaugural Super Bowl in 1967, when CBS and NBC televised the meeting of the champions of the newly merged National Football League and American Football League.

"We're happy to accommodate the NFL's request for a joint national simulcast of this potentially historic game to make it available to the widest possible audience," said Dick Ebersol, NBC Universal's chairman for sports and Olympics.

NBC was scheduled to air "Dateline NBC" and a repeat of "Law & Order: SVU" during the time slot. CBS was set to broadcast the movie "Good Night, and Good Luck" and "48 Hours: Mysteries."

This year and last year we had QB problems and now have a Super Bowl type defense. We were still close to the playoffs even with injuries.
