Come Thursday night, we'll be giving thanks all over again.
Specifically, we'll be thankful that the two crappy afternoon games are over, and we'll be thankful that the night game on NFL Network has begun.
This year, the Broncos host the Giants. And the teams are thankful to have fairly minimal injury reports.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning is probable with a foot injury. Out are running back Ahmad Bradshaw and linebacker Antonio Pierce. Otherwise, the Giants are healthy.
For the home team, quarterback Kyle Orton is probable, only a week after not taking a single snap in practice due to a sprained ankle suffered the prior Sunday against the Redskins. Safety Brian Dawkins is also probable with a neck injury. Out are tackle Ryan Harris (toe) and running back LaMont Jordan (back).
The game begins Thursday night at 8:20 p.m. ET on NFL Network. For those of you who'll be spending the holiday at a household not equipped with NFL Network, you can watch the game on your Sprint handsets equipped with NFL Mobile Live.
What's that? You don't have a Sprint handset equipped with NFL Mobile Live? Maybe you should add that to your Christmas list.
And the best part about a Sprint handset equipped with NFL Mobile Live is that it's virtually impossible to shoot your eye out.
Orton, Eli probable for Thursday night

This game aside, I was proud of the Denver fans cheering Orton as he took the field against the Chargettes. Kyle, the Denver fanbase has faith in you becoming the next "Franchise: Quarterback! Step up, man. Lead your team. Eli is a joke and you know it to be true. You can only ride so far on nepotism. Denver 367, Giants -12!!!
Nice marketing scheme Mike. How much did Sprint pay you? Talk about gorilla marketing!
you are such a whore Florio!
Franchise QB? Kyle Orton? mmmmmmkkkkkkkay
orton's cool
that last guy denver had was a huge piece of shit
(i'm a chargers fan)
According to my calendar, Thanksgiving comes a month before Christmas. What good is a phone on Christmas Day going to do me on Thanksgiving? Will NFL Mobile Live be showing tomorrow's game on Christmas Day? I'm confused...
Unless you are stuck with Time-Warner cable, that is. No NFL Network for us, so we get stuck with the Lions. C'mon, man!
Gene Simmons tongue says it all-that's an idiotic statement. Eli is not a top 5 QB - but he is a top 10 QB (about 8 or 9). Daryl Johnston -the cow fan- even admitted that when Eli gets in a groove-he can throw as good as anybody. The degree of difficulty in the throws last week against the Falcons was impressive.
That being said, I do like Orton as a player-he is hard nose and reminds me of Phil Simms. So it will be a tough game tonight.
Take the glasses off and hatred and look at things analytically. You will be amazed how you reassess your judgments.
Gene Simmons tongue your an idiot
Eli #1 Draft pick SB MVP has taken them to the playoffs every year
Yes as of yet he is not a top 5 but he is young and with that young group of WR he will have a great future and may and I do say may have more rings the Payton
Mean while out in Denver you have been poor since the buck tooth wonder left and how many SB did he have to play before winning one?
You give me the ball and two minutes and there is not another QB in the NFL that I would take other then #10

Tell ya what Florio, I will buy a sprint handset if the Redskins win the Super Bowl this year......
Only problem with that Sprint handset is that you may get NFL Mobile but the coverage area like the cowpies sucks
"Specifically, we'll be thankful that the two crappy afternoon games are over, and we'll be thankful that the night game on NFL Network has begun."
Amen.
GO G-MEN!
