It's not Seinfeld and sports can be so easily related. But, thanks to WLUK, the Fox affiliate in Green Bay, I've been able to do just that. (Oh yeah, I like this idea).
In case you haven't heard, WLUK has pulled it's Seinfeld re-run tomorrow at 5:30 because they heard it was Eli Manning's favorite show. This has not played well with Jerry Seinfeld himself, who has sent Eli a copy of all the seasons on DVD as well as a personal DVD player.(The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.)
Why shouldn't this even be a story? The Giants weren't even supposed to be in this game. Heck, this game wasn't even supposed to be in Green Bay...it was supposed to be in Dallas. (I don't want to be a Cowboy!).
But the Giants are clearly going into hostile territory when traveling to Green Bay. On top of pulling the Seinfeld repeat, the weather is supposed to be 6 degrees. (No Soup for You!)
So WLUK has replaced Seinfeld with a special on Vince Lombardi called "God, Family, and the Green Bay Packers." (It's a write off for them, they just write it off....You don't even know what a write off is)
I don't think anyone really thinks this will have an impact on the game (Your cranium called, there's space for rent.)
But give the people of Green Bay a break. They love their Packers, they love their cheese, and they love their tailgating. (These pretzels are making me thirsty)
And you can believe that everyone in that small town in Wisconsin will be either at the game, at home or at a bar watching the Packers and Giants. No one will be at the gym, at the grocery store, no one will even be at the movie theatre. (Why don't you just tell me the name of the movie you want to see?)
So after all this, you're probably wondering who's going to win. Just remember (Gold Jerry, pure Gold).
