The following article made me laugh out loud:
From Newsday.com:
Eli Manning enjoys "Seinfeld" reruns. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Many NFL players have far worse vices. But Jay Zollar, general manager of WLUK, a Fox affiliate in Green Bay, this week made it clear that he, not the Giants quarterback, is the master of that domain.
On a video on the station's Web site, Zollar points at the camera and says, "Eli, no 'Seinfeld' for you!" Yup, the station has pulled its regularly scheduled 5:30 p.m. Saturday "Seinfeld" rerun in an attempt to disrupt Manning's preparation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers.
"We don't want to give any comfort to the enemy whatsoever when they come into town," Zollar says. "We know laughter is good medicine, and we decided we're not going to give that to him."
To which any self-respecting Giants fan would say, "Yada, yada, yada." Evidently Packers fans believe it's not enough that this year's players already have proven they're real, and they're spectacular. The station is conducting an online vote to choose a replacement program.

The article really made me think -- does anyone really believe in superstitions? Well, of course I do. For example, I fly frequently... and I try to reserve a seat on the right side of the plane. I also do something else, but I'm too superstitious to say. Sorry I don't need anything to go wrong while flying. It's not bad -- it's just something I do before takeoff.
I was superstitious in high school too. We won the state championship in high school -- for basketball. And I insisted on wearing the same pair of underwear in the playoffs. *I do believe in laundry, don't worry, and my good luck charm was washed after each game. Hey, it worked. We won at the buzzer.
So anyone else out there have any superstitions or rituals they wish to share? Do tell...
