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.

how F'n stupid

Saw that in the paper today and thought it was gay. Like come on, do they really think he's gonna be all upset about that? You know, the guy makes enough money to have all of the seasons on DVD.

I agree it won't make ANY difference at all in the outcome of the game, but c'mon you guys know Buffalo does all kind of cheesy and corny things too to encourage their teams or act like they are helping out in some way when one of them is in the playoffs. Look at the Sabres run the past two years for reference.
