So this game might be important to Packer fans

Well, thanks to Green Bay's Fox affiliate, the Packers have all but sealed up this Sunday's NFC title game. To avoid "giving comfort to the enemy," Fox is canceling their Saturday afternoon broadcast of Seinfeld because it is Eli Manning's favorite show. While this is sure to be effective, here are some other things to try to really rub salt on the wound:
  • Take Eli's cabbage patch kids collection hostage
  • Steal his squash racquet
  • Stop his Citizen Eco Drive watch
  • Draw mustaches on all his pictures in his morning paper
  • Encourage all fans at the game to chant his birth name, Elisha
  • Kick Plaxico Burress in the ankle
Seriously though, I like the Packers more than five of the continents and I think this is pretty ridiculous. What will he do? Maybe watch the show on any of the TWENTY OTHER CHANNELS it plays on all the time. Though I do appreciate the effort Green Bay. Just be smarter (or meaner) next time. Maybe instead of withholding Seinfeld from Eli, they should play this, this, and this all day Saturday. Yep, that'll do it.
