They sure do love their Packers up in Nowheresville, Wisconsin. Even the TV networks.You see, WLUK, a Green Bay Fox affiliate, has figured out a way to totally mess with Eli Manning. You see, Eli like Seinfeld and runs in syndication on WLUK on the weekends at 5:30 PM. And so do you know what WLUK is doing? Get ready, strap yourself in.... and check this out, from the story:
Poor Eli: WLUK, Channel 11, which is carrying the game via Fox, has a comic bit going surrounding Giants quarterback Eli Manning, a fan of "Seinfeld."
WLUK carries reruns of "Seinfeld," including at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
"That's exactly when Eli will be relaxing in his downtown Appleton hotel room getting ready for Sunday's game," WLUK says in a news release.
The station has pulled the program.
"Why give comfort to the enemy?" said Jay Zollar, general manager. "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.
Wow. You're really showing the Giants, Green Bay! I mean, I'm sure the constant poking and prodding from the obnoxious New York media that Eli has enduring during his time as a Giant will pale in comparison to -- GASP -- not being able to watch Seinfeld on your crappy local network. Isn't it also possible Eli will be at a team meeting or a team dinner or with a hooker or something? I mean, if you want to make sure he doesn't have a good night's sleep, tell these chicks that Brett Favre is in the room and that he's lonely and can only perform on Sunday when he's "performed" on Saturday.

With a hooker? In Wisconsin? No. That's not possible. Nobody should ever have to pay for sex with a woman from Wisconsin.
Ouch!
I knew a girl from Wisco - she was nice. Ate a lot of cheese. Kinda gassy.
That's just packer fans being packer fans. They are the worst fans when winning, and only slightly better when losing. They are probably the strangest group of sports fans out there.
I think Brett Favre is probably the ultimate competitor in football. I'd just like to see an end to this media lovefest for him soon.
I lived with a Packer fan for a while...I liked him and his friends. The Colts were pretty horrible during that period of time...and the Pack played the Pats (and beat them) in the Superbowl. Since I wasn't against them, I thought they were kinda fun. Many of the girls they hung out with were trashy though.
That said, the shots of green apple pucker, cheeseburgers, beer brats and the like (seriously) were a bit much for me...I didn't partake in their gametime traditions.
what's worse than this stupid Seinfeld stunt and pulling it from the air on Saturday, someone was pathetic enough to take the Lord's Prayer and changed it to reflect Farve and his reign in Green Bay, will it ever end??. oh, and the brat's are great, cheese is awesome and beer is cheap. Go Giant's!
Wow..........it's even more humorous how seriously everyone has taken this (all in good fun comment from Fox 11) to such an extreme. HEY EVERYBODY, LIFE IS SHORT-ENJOY THE GAME!!!
I knew a chick from NYC in college...crack whore riddled with AIDS.
