I try to keep this blog as objective and commercial-free as possible but I know folks have been very anxious about when the Giants' Super Bowl XLVI DVD with the complete network broadcasts of the playoff games would be available.

I finally have your answer: Next week.

NFL Films and Vivendi Entertainment have announced "New York Giants: Road to XLVI" on DVD ($39.99) and Blu-Ray ($49.99) will go on sale on Tuesday.

To answer a few questions I've already gotten on Twitter:

--The discs will be available at all of your standard retail stores (i.e. Best Buy) and shouldn't be hard to find at all.

--The victories over the Jets and Cowboys in Weeks 16 and 17 are not included.

--The "America's Game" broadcast, which NFL Films does for every Super Bowl champ, is still about three months away. The NFL Network has broadcast the latest installment of that outstanding series in early September, so I'd expect that to be the case here, as well.

--Speaking of "America's Game", I keep forgetting to ask which players will do the talking on that one. I know Victor Cruz tweeted about being down at NFL Films one day, so he's a likely candidate, as is Justin Tuck. For the third one, maybe Antrel Rolle? I'll try to find out.

With the news of Osi Umenyiora's firing his agent breaking on Thursday night, I wasn't able to get into Justin Tuck's annual billiards tournament to benefit his "R.U.S.H for Literacy" charity as much as I would've liked.

A bunch of celebs and Giants teammates (as well as NBA players and other NFL stars, such as former Giant and former Notre Dame teammate of Tuck's Ryan Grant) showed up at Slate in Manhattan to support Tuck's event.

"My wife and I are very passionate about education and kids," Tuck said of his charitable organization. "And we felt as though, in order to have a great education, you have to have a background, you have to have a foundation. You ask anybody about foundations of educational success, it starts with reading and writing.

"We enjoy reading and enjoy writing. It's something we're passionate about and we've put all of our efforts to that."
