Green Bay TV station ditches Seinfeld to irk Giants

By Larry Fine

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Reuters) - A local television station in Green Bay is doing its part in the gamesmanship war between the Packers and the New York Giants by scrubbing its usual showing of Seinfeld -- a favorite show of Giants quarterback Eli Manning -- on the eve of Sunday's NFC championship clash.

In a video on its Web site (myfoxnewisconsin.com), WLUK station general manager Jay Zollar points at the camera and says, "Eli, no Seinfeld for you!"

The station was asking viewers to vote on what should replace the popular comedy in the 5:30 p.m. slot on Saturday.

The early leader was a special on legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi.

"We do not want to give any comfort to the enemy when they are in town," Zollar says in the video message.

Giants veteran defensive end Michael Strahan was stunned when told of the Green Bay TV station's strategy.

"Do they realize they have Seinfeld DVDs? We can always watch Seinfeld," Strahan told reporters after practice on Thursday at Giants Stadium.

"If they think that's going to mess him up I've got to move to Green Bay. I could be very successful there with some of my ideas."

I wonder what is more foolish? Taking the show off the air or thinking it helps you play better football?

Green Bay has the best fans in the NFL and the most community support. I think it's great.
