The Giant lay-down.

Saturday night's game between New England and the New York Giants on the NFL Network will be simulcast on CBS and NBC.

"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."

Good for the NFL, okay done with that. The real debate is how should the G-Men approach this game? The sport pundits that scream on talk radio and ESPN are loving this scenario. Should the Giants, who for the most part have nothing to lose and/or gain from this game, go out and play this game like it's week 9 or 10? Or, should the Giants take advantage of having their playoff spot solidified, take this game with a grain of salt, and rest their injured and nicked up players.

I'm a Giant fan, and I could care less about this game. I believe that most Giant fans will agree that they need to rest their hurting players, and there is no need to subject Eli to a Bellicheck defense right before a play-off game. In regards to their responsibility to the league? There were 15 other games where the Pats could have lost, including a Charger rematch game and of course, the Colts. Ultimately, if the Patriots go 16-0 and lose in the playoffs then all this hub-bub is for not.

As promised, whenever I talk about a Tom Brady related topic I'll throw up a picture of Gisele Bundchen, and then drone on about how his life is great, and I'm currently huddled over a lap-top debating whether or not to eat Frosted Flakes for breakfast or cry myself through the day.
