The New England Patriots game against the Buffalo Bills begins at 1 p.m. on CBS. Fox is showing the Philadelphia Eagles at the Houston Texans at the same time, and the Dallas Cowboys at the Jacksonville Jaguars at 4.

NBC kicks off Football Night in America at 7, with Bob Costas and Cris Collinsworth offering highlights of the day's games, joined by analysts Jerome ("The Bus") Bettis and Sterling Sharpe and SI reporter Peter King.

Then at 8:30, the Mannings -- Colt Peyton and Giant Eli -- face off in the season's first Sunday Night Football on NBC.

Phoned out: Thursday night was the worst -- eight calls in two hours, including recordings by Rep. Patrick Kennedy on behalf of fellow Dem Ralph Mollis and former GOP Gov. Lincoln Almond on behalf of nobody. (That was confusing. ) Mollis's opponent for Secretary of State, Guillaume de Ramel, has Mrs. Claiborne Pell in his corner, but she didn't call me.

There's a lot of gaming going on in this state where the majority -- Independents -- can pick the primary they'll vote in on the spot and be a Democrat or a Republican for 5 minutes before scurrying back to the neutral zone by "disaffilating" again: Vote for right-wing Laffey so Dem Whitehouse can take him out, or maybe Stop Laffey Now by voting for Chafee, or maybe notice that surreal postcard from the Rhode Island Democratic State Committee: "Do Not Vote For Republicans."

Searching isn't pinpoint here. If you put just "Chafee" into the search field you get photos of the Navy destroyer USS Chafee, named after the Senator's late father, a Senator who also served as Secretary of the Navy. As it is, you'll see photos tagged with both men's names that don't actually include them -- a Net Neutrality petition being delivered to Chafee's office, and Laffey proclaiming India's Independence Day in Cranston last month.
