2012 NFL football season kicks off tonight

Congratulations -- you made it through another offseason. Your reward? Cowboys-Giants tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET. The celebration kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET on NFL Network with performances by Mariah Carey and No Doubt from Rockefeller Center. Don't forget to tune into NFL Network immediately after the game for the best highlights and analysis. And preview all Week 1's action with NFL.com's exclusive Game Center.

Here's what else is on tap Wednesday:

» Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly gave his take on the Bills' season-opener against the New York Jets on Tuesday's "NFL AM," so it's only right that current Bills signal caller Ryan Fitzpatrick gets his shot. The Harvard grad drops in on today's show, along with former New York Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer, and Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, who just published an in-depth interview with suspended New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton.
