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."I guess it's a good thing Manning lives in the year 2008, where there are things like DVR, DVD Players and a beautiful thing called Amazon.com.

1. I'm sure Eli will be watching a lot of TV the day before the biggest game of his life.

2. It's a good thing you posted this item, cause it's only been replayed on Sportscenter 8 times in the past 12 hours.

5. Um, TBS will be playing 2 episodes of Seinfield starting at 6pm Saturday in Greenbay and there's nothing anybody can do about that.

6. To distract Eli, they should have run a Seinfeld marathon. Maybe he would lose track of time.
