MILWAUKEE -- For a show that was about nothing, the hubbub

around it has certainly turned into something.

A Green Bay television station decided to have some fun this

week after employees discovered that Giants quarterback Eli

Manning's favorite show is "Seinfeld." Station officials decided

to pull the episode scheduled for Saturday afternoon and replace it

with a different program chosen by viewers.

Manning and his New York teammates will be in town to play the

Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game Sunday afternoon.

News of WLUK-TV's decision apparently reached Jerry Seinfeld

himself.

"I'm going to send Eli a complete collection of 'Seinfeld' DVDs

and a partial collection of 'Hogan's Heroes' for inspiration," the

comedian told the New York Post on Thursday.

"You think I'm going to take that sitting down?"

Jay Zollar, the Fox station's general manager, laughed when he

heard of Seinfeld's response. Zollar joked that the offer actually

plays into the station's master plan of preventing Manning from

being master of the domain on Sunday.
