Who doesn't love a good "Seinfeld" rerun? It's one of the greatest shows ever produced and has an extremely loyal following to this very day. In fact, one of the shows' biggest fans is New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

Unfortunately for Eli, "Seinfeld" will not be airing this weekend in Green Bay.

"Eli, no 'Seinfeld' for you," general manager of WLUK, Jay Zollar said in an attempt to mimic one of the shows' more popular characters.

The TV station has decided to pull it's scheduled 5:30 pm Saturday showing of the popular hit series in an attempt to disrupt the younger Manning.

"We don't want to give any comfort to the enemy whatsoever when they come into town," Zollar says. "We know laughter is good medicine, and we decided we're not going to give that to him."

Lemme see. Worth millions. You can buy DVD players for $30 or less. Motels probably have them for free. I think if he really wants to see the show ... he will. Then there is always that possibility that he'll be busy with some of that football stuff.

I'm sure they'll run something great .... like a re-run of "Friends."

I'm sure that will just destroy Eli's preparation. Maybe they should increase the spread!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call "grasping at straws" - but hey, at least the TV network gets some brownie points with Packer fans, right?

Well, that worked well, didn't it?

Maybe next time they should try a Seinfeld marathon. Maybe if he's distracted by the TV, his preparation will suffer.
