Former Giants quarterback Phil Simms is one of the best NFL broadcasters in the business and a major part of CBS' football package. Tonight, when the Giants head down to Washington for Thursday Night Football, he'll attempt to get through the game while taking a stand.

In August, Simms said he probably wouldn't use the term when calling Washington's games this season. Now, he'll have the chance to practice what he's preached.

Do you believe Simms can get through the entire broadcast without slipping and using Washington's team nickname?
