Do you already have tix to the game? I hear that it's mighty tough to get tickets to any Packers game, let alone an NFC Championship.

they're on stubhub for $600....up from @$450 last night....

Good Job G-men!! way to knock them Cowboys off their high horses. I don't think I'll be cheering for you guys next week, I would like to see Farve go out like Elway( that might be the only way he's gonna retire). Good season fellas

NYG BABY!!!!

The NFC either was is a great situation. Either the Giants go to the show or Favre and the Pack.

January 18, 2008 -- Don't worry, Eli! Jerry Seinfeld's got your back.

The nasty general manager of the Fox affiliate in Green Bay said he's yanking Eli Manning's favorite TV show, "Seinfeld," while the Giants are in town. But have no fear - the funnyman told The Post yesterday he'll equip the quarterback with all the shows he needs.

"I'm going to send Eli a complete collection of 'Seinfeld' DVDs," the consummate New Yorker said, "and a partial collection of 'Hogan's Heroes' for inspiration!"

Jay Zollar of Fox's WLUK-TV in Green Bay announced to Packer faithful that the regularly scheduled broadcast of "Seinfeld" would be replaced on Saturday night to throw off the Big Blue star.

"Eli, no Seinfeld for you!" Zollar shouted into the camera on Wednesday night's local newscast, mocking the "No soup for you" line made famous by Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi."

"We don't want to give any comfort to the enemy whatsoever when they come into town," he said.

But Seinfeld didn't appreciate the attempted sack on Manning.

"You think I'm going to take that sitting down?" Seinfeld railed yesterday.

"I'm dispatching George Costanza to be the new traveling secretary for the Packers."

He was referencing a famous episode in which George - employed as the traveling secretary for the Yankees - convinces the team to switch to cotton uniforms, which shrink after they are washed, leaving the Bronx Bombers too restrained by their pinstripes to play.

Zollar, who failed realize that Manning can just as easily watch the show about nothing on DVD, is not nearly as crafty as The Post, which distracted Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo with a Jessica Simpson lookalike during last weekend's thrilling Giant win.

If Manning does decide to watch Fox in Green Bay on Saturday night, it's up to locals what he'll see.

The station has set up an online poll to determine what should replace "Seinfeld." So far, a special about former Packer head coach Vince Lombardi called "God, Family and the Green Bay Packers" is winning, with 60 percent of the vote.

Other options include a rerun of a local sports show, "Inside the Huddle," an infomercial for "The Good Feet Stone" starring former Cowboy running back Emmitt Smith and an episode of "M*A*S*H."

"We know laughter is good medicine, and we decided we're not going to give that to him," Zollar said.

But as any Giant fan will tell you, Manning will have the last laugh.

"We are going to take Green Bay and go on to the Super Bowl," fan Ed Gallardo said in Rockefeller Center yesterday. "They don't need 'Seinfeld' to win."

"Are you serious? That's awful," added Giant fan Greg Littley. "To thumb your nose like that at a team, that's deep-seated hate for one player."

Funny story when I first heard it. But even my mom said. Doesn't Eli have enough money to buy his own Seinfeld dvds? lol

NYG just isn't that good of a team, plus they're completely void of soul. The pats will expose them next week. It won't even be close 54-14 and a perfect season for NE.
