    The Green Bay Fox affiliate WLUK says it will not air Seinfeld in its regular Saturday afternoon time slot because it's Eli Manning's favorite show and the station doesn't want Manning to feel welcome when his Giants visit the Packers.

    "Why give comfort to the enemy?" said FOX 11 Vice President and General Manager Jay Zollar. "Green Bay Packers fans do not want any of the New York Giants to get a good night's sleep and FOX 11 will do its part."

    But if the station really wants to get in Manning's head, why doesn't it take a page from the All-Seinfeld Team and show the episode where Jerry gets the bad haircut?

    ummm, maybe if eli is such a fan he probably has the whole series on dvd. Now that he knows he'll probably just bring it with him now. Pretty lame attempt at heckin with eli IMO.

    Cletusaurus YES! YES! YES!

    What about their OWN fans who happen to enjoy the comedic and whimsical stylings of Seinfeld and Kramer? In screwing with Eli, they're screwing their own fans!

    ATTICA! ATTICA!

    Read about this earlier on NFL.com. It will do jack crap in my opinion, lol. I dont like Eli to be honest, but this idea was a waste of time, he will do just as well or bad (most likely the latter) if it was aired.
