Here is your first game day open thread of the 2008 season. The Giants, or at least whatever players the Giants have available, meet the Detroit Lions tonight in their first exhibition game.

A note about the thread. If you want to follow along during the game, keep your browser open to the comments throughout. The comments will 'auto-refresh' as they are posted, making it seem like a live blog.

We will see how this works out. I might still use some third-party live-blogging software during the season, but keeping your browser open to the comments during the game provides a pretty close facsimile.
