    I admit it, I'm caught up in the Favre magic. If he can pull out a Super Bowl win this year, Disney will make a movie about it in a few years.

    the man had a 132 QB rating and some people still refuse to give him credit. sigh.

    Giants playing with a chip on their shoulder. Green Bay and everyone else thinks they're entitled to the Super Bowl cuz of Favre.

    I'll go with the underestimated and pissed off team.

    It would only be nice if he retired afterward, which if he won a Super Bowl again I think he just might do it I mean what else does the man have left to accomplish in the NFL?

    It would be fantastic. As I said in the AFC thread, I think it would possibly be the highest rated SB in history. It would be an exciting game full of offense and story lines. What else can you ask for out of a Super Bowl? Just might make those $3,000,000/30 sec. ads worth it to advertisers.

    BTW, I just wanted to tell you that I love your sig (the first part that is) as "A Shot in the Arm" is not only my favorite song by Wilco but one of my 10 favorite songs of all-time. Getting to see them live and perform that song is something I'll never forget.

    I still can't decide which version on Summerteeth I like better. They played it at ACL this past year and it was fantastic.

    Weather.com is forecasting a high of 4, and a low of 1.

    And you'll be sure to see the players with no sleeves on. I just want to say to them, "Look, guys, you're freaking NFL players. We know you're tough. Do you have to be stupid, too? Hypothermia is no fun thing."

    I think the Pack will win easily, but then I thought the Cowboys would win pretty easy. The Giants defensive front 7 causes a lot of problems--much more physical than the Seahawks.

    But the Pack's defense is also playing very well, fast overall and probably the best pair of man corners in the league. The Giants will not score much, it will need Pack mistakes to stay in this game.

    Take the Pack and give up 7.

    I kinda of think right now the Pack may take out NE. Farve and company will play with house $ and NE might press seeing as how noone expects NE to lose or GB to win.

    Chance of snow up to 30% from 10%. :)

    I think GB is the perfect team to take out NE. One of the best (i'd say the best) secondary in the league, a decent pass rush and a lot of offensive options...

    NFL scheduling sucks. It's going to be cold. So why not play this game during the day?

    MILWAUKEE (AP) -- 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.

    "Now he (Manning) will be up all night watching 'Seinfeld' -- there will be no sleep for you," he said, parodying the Soup Nazi episode in which a server admonishes noncompliant customers with, "No soup for you!"

    Manning said Friday the whole affair was amusing.

    "Yeah, it's pretty funny," he said. "You've got to enjoy it."

    Manning added that he already has the entire "Seinfeld" collection.

    "I've seen every episode anyway, so I'm not going to miss anything on it," he said. "Again, you take it all in, you smile at it and you don't really give it a lot of thought."

    A message from The Associated Press relayed to Seinfeld's publicist through his lawyer was not immediately returned Friday.

    The station let viewers vote on the show to replace the pulled "Seinfeld" episode.

    Of about 3,700 votes cast, some 60 percent were for a 30-minute special about former Packers coach Vince Lombardi called "God, Family and the Green Bay Packers."

    The other choices included a rerun of "The Donald Driver Show" from Monday, "M*A*S*H" and an infomercial starring former Dallas Cowboy Emmitt Smith.

    The pre-empted "Seinfeld" episode is "The Mango" from Season 5. In the show Cosmo Kramer gets booted from a fruit store for trying to return a bad peach, George Costanza suffers impotence, yada yada yada.

    Zollar said most people realized his station's move was in jest, but some thought the station should be treating the Giants better.

    "Some people think we're mean," he said. "Some say we're not welcoming, that we should be gracious hosts, we should invite them in and be nice to their quarterback."

    He said he doesn't understand how people could interpret the move as a sincere attempt at sabotage.

    "Obviously, Eli coming to Green Bay, coming to watch a TV show at 5:30 p.m. the night before the game, it's pretty unlikely," he said.

    Associated Press sports writer Tom Canavan in East Rutherford, N.J., contributed to this report.
