Ralph Vacchiano of the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS reports that upon hearing a Green Bay TV station would not show Eli Manning’s favorite show, Seinfeld, the day before the Packers host the Giants at Lambeau Field, Sony has “come to the rescue” of Manning.

The ginormous conglomo is shipping “Manning a DVD player and ‘Seinfeld: The Complete Series DVD collection’“ for his viewing pleasure while on the Wisconsin pleasure trip.

Vacchiano: “Personally, I’m always happy to see large corporations come to the aid of the underprivileged like this. It’s a truly heartwarming gesture, don’t you think?”

Now if Sony was really smart, it’d send some arm warmers instead.

The ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH reports today that the NHL Blues pulled five scheduled “Tuesdays On Tap” free beer promotions hours after advertising the promo on their website and sending out an email to ticket holders.

The reason? A club official called it a “business decision”. More likely, it was related to negative reaction from the local media and the 4-year sentence given yesterday to former Blues defenseman Rob Ramage for alcohol-impaired vehicular manslaughter.

The beer promo was almost as bad an idea as this proposed jersey for the Blues back in the mid-90s.
