Seinfeld Offers Eli Manning Something About Nothing

2008_01_elisein.jpgAfter news that a Green Bay Fox affiliate would not be showing Seinfeld because it's Giants quarterback Eli Manning's favorite show (the Giants are heading to the land of Cheeseheads to play the Packers in the NFC Championship), it was up to Jerry Seinfeld to rise to the occasion. The Mets fan told the Post, "I'm going to send Eli a complete collection of 'Seinfeld' DVDs and a partial collection of 'Hogan's Heroes' for inspiration!" We think Eli's gonna have to ask Archie about Hogan's Heroes.

The Giants' Michael Strahan also scoffed at the attempt to get at Manning, "Don't they have 'Seinfeld' DVDs? We can always watch 'Seinfeld.' If they think that's going to mess him up, I should probably move to Green Bay. I could be very successful there with some of my ideas."

WLUK general manager Jay Zollar, who had told viewers, "No Seinfeld for you!" in light of Manning's impending arrival, said, "We never went into this with the intention of thinking that this was anything but fun and lighthearted." Hmm - maybe if the Giants win, WLUK should be made to air a Seinfeld marathon.

Mayor Bloomberg and Green Bay Mayor Schmitt have a friendly wager on the game - it's cheesecake vs. cheese-wedge sunglasses!

Jenny baby... your audience begs you... pleeeeease re-read what you write!

I really don't comment on this stuff too often, we're all human (before the snarky gothamist-ites get me), but it just makes my heart hurt sometimes when I see a lot of little errors like this.

But hey, it's not like I'm paying I suppose.

GO GIANTS!

This story is as stupid on gawker as it is on here.

jerry should buy the packers and move them downtown where kramer's old girlfriend lives so no one would know how to find them.

Also in serious sports analysis, the Giants haven't won any games, the other teams have lost them.

As a Bears fan I hate Green Bay, but the Giants just suck.

"Also in serious sports analysis, the Giants haven't won any games, the other teams have lost them."

Typical line from people who don't want to give a team credit. Never mind that it doesn't ever make sense, since the outcome of a game is a complex mix of good play by the winner and poor play by the loser.

The Parkers are the only team in the US that "can't be bought" and moved. They are community owned.

Because if they were bought and moved, Green Bay would cease to exist as a municipality in a matter of hours.

sit down and shut up jerry seinfeld

HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS!!!!!!!

How 'bout da' Bears, another of the Giants' victims this year.

Yeeee-ha!

I just want to see the Giants cause a ruckus with late hits, smacks and jabs. That'll be entertaining.

"serious sports analysis"? -- weak.
