If you were to look up the word ‘overkill’ in the dictionary, I’m sure some reference to an event this weekend would be in there.

For the first time since Super Bowl I, more than one network will be simulcasting the same football game.  And we haven’t even reached the playoffs yet.

The 15-0 New England Patriots will be working to complete the first perfect NFL season since 1972’s Miami Dolphins (14-0).  In order to accomplish this, they will need to finish off the New York Giants (10-5) in Giants Stadium this Saturday.  To appease all the Brady-haters and lovers - and members of Congress - who are highly interested in this game, the NFL Network is agreeing to let this one matchup be seen outside of its borders.  Now football fans who are not also subscribers of the channel will have access to the same feed via CBS or NBC.  (Yes, this does also mean we’ll be getting three times the Bryant Gumbel as well.)

Oh - and in case you are still having trouble figuring out how to see the game, know that it is on starting @ 8pm EST.
