"No soup for you!"

Listening to Mike and Mike on ESPN Radio this morning, I heard an interesting story. With the New York Giants visiting the "frozen tundra" of Lambeau Field in Green Bay this weekend (by the way, current highs are projected at 6 degrees), the Packers are looking for any edge they can find.

Apparently, they're worried a bit about the white-hot Eli Manning, who in addition to back-to-back stellar playoff performances, may also be "intercepting" Jessica Simpson from Tony Romo (see previous post below). So what are the fine people of Green Bay doing to distract Manning? Well, since Eli enjoys Seinfeld, the local station that airs the re-runs is pulling it off the air Saturday night. How cruel is that? I'm definitely pulling for the Giants now.

"Serenity now!"

Long Lost Brother?

Warning...just ahead lies a bold statement...

George Costanza is the best sitcom character in the history of television. There, I said it. For me, he made "Seinfeld." Yes, Jerry, Kramer, and Elaine were funny, and the other characters who made brief appearances. But I always identified with George (and no, not just because of similar hairstyles...). There are many reasons, in addition to the hairstyle, that George is a hero of mine, from his enjoyment of leisure time to his quirky humor. I love "Independent George" for many reasons. What are some of your favorite George moments? Some of mine are:

• "Independent George"--"A George divided against itself...cannot stand!"


• "The Opposite"--where George resolves to do the exact opposite of his instincts, and it works better for him! He even tells off George Steinbrenner, who immediately states, "Hire this man!"


• "I don't want to be 'on', Jerry, I would much rather be 'off'."


• "The toupee"--George tries wearing a toupee and becomes cocky with his new hair; ironically he is set up on a blind date with a bald woman...


• "Why must there always be a problem?"


• "The Frogger"--the rogue electrician doesn't understand the term "outlet," so George has to refer to it as "the holes."--http://youtube.com/watch?v=nLgckRf9H78&feature=related
