WLUK-TV in Green Bay is undertaking a lame-o promotion doing its part to try to help the Packers in their Super Bowl bid against the Giants on Sunday.

WLUK GM Jay Zollar announced on-air last night that the station is pulling a “Seinfeld” episode scheduled for Saturday because the program is apparently Eli Manning’s favorite TV show. The thought being that Manning will be watching TV in his hotel room in Green Bay at that time (assuming he can get it on his rabbit eared-Hitachi at the Super 8).

Not all that funny or interesting, unless you live in the Bay. But the TV station did give us one measure of amusement in the announcement. The poll to decide which show should take the place of the Seinfeld episode has an Emmitt Smith infomercial for “The Good Feet Store” as an option.

Not surprisingly, that possibility has been blowed up by Green Bay fans.

Makes sense, Seinfeld is never on here in NY. I am sure he has not seen every episode also.

Wouldn't it make more sense then to show a Seinfeld marathon until like 5am Sunday?

all that matters is football, cheese, and beer. once you perfect those, further development is useless.

I'm sure Eli doesn't have every Seinfeld season on DVD to travel along with him, he's on a pretty tight budget. :rolleyes:
