Did you see where the FOX affiliate in Green Bay is pulling Saturday’s scheduled “Seinfeld” rerun because New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is a fan of the show?
“Eli, no ‘Seinfeld’ for you,” Jay Zollar, the station’s general manager shouted in a video on the station’s Web site.
That might be taking it a little too far, but Zollar is doing his best as a loyal Packers fan to not make Manning’s stay in Green Bay this weekend a pleasant one.
The station conducted an online vote to see which show Packers fans want to watch instead of Jerry and his whacky crew.
The choices were a Vince Lombardi special, a local show with Packers receiver Donald Driver and infomercial for The Good Feat Story featuring Emmitt Smith and a M*A*S*H rerun.
No surprise that Lombardi was running away with the vote. Though, personally, I would like to see which M*A*S*H episode they had in mind before casting my vote.
I might be inclined to vote for Hawkeye if it was an early episode with Trapper and Henry.
Maybe the one where Hotlips and Frank try to have Henry court-martialed. You know? The one with “Bouncing Betty bouncing along.” That was a good one.

What if Eli is a Lombardi fan?
