There's a new leader in the clubhouse for the "Lifetime Achievement Jimmy the Greek How Possibly Stupid Can You Be That You Would Actually Say That On The Air?" award.
Not surprisingly, it is the same ESPN talking head -- Jemele Hill -- who already has been sent to the sidelines once for a timeout after comparing the Boston Celtics to nuclear war and Adolf Hitler. (Bet she still wishes she had worked Idi Amin and Killer Bees into that one.)
Awful Announcing has the video of Hill's rant on how Brett Favre should be treated in Green Bay when he returns to Lambeau Field as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.
Hill suggested that Packers fans shower Favre with something other than love, saying:
"Listen to me, okay? If you have a shred of pride you will give Brett Favre the Duracell treatment when he comes to Lambeau Field."


When Hill's on-air colleagues asked what "Duracell treatment" meant, she said:
"Batteries! Batteries!"

What's wrong with tossing batteries at a rival...of course I've grown watching the good ole dawg pound in Cleveland...

Didn't pirates fans once shower Dave Parker with batteries

[Dirty]

yes.. somebody... maybe Philly Fans did the same to Daryl Strawberry

[djefferis]

Yea, but anyone can hate the opponent..guys in Pitt did it when Parker played for them..

Personally I don't get it...green bay fans are pissed, rightfully..but to pull crap like that is assanine...what are the odds of hitting a guy on the field vs hitting an innocent fan who paid $100 to watch a game

[Dirty]

Exactly.. Especially the Morons trying to chunk it from the Upper Deck

‘They were throwing batteries’

Phillies fans had nothing good to say -- or write -- about J.D. Drew. AP

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Ron Gant crushed his former team again Tuesday night, delivering a three-run double in the eighth off Ricky Bottalico that gave the Philadelphia Phillies a 7-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Gant, who homered twice in a 12-6 loss Monday, drilled an 0-1 pitch to the right-center gap with the bases loaded to complete a stirring four-run inning.
It was a second straight night of sweet revenge for Gant, who feuded with Cardinals manager Tony La Russa after he was traded to Philadelphia -- in a deal that included Bottalico (1-6) -- in the offseason.
It also spoiled a big night for J.D. Drew, who responded to ferocious booing with a triple, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base. He also survived having large batteries thrown at him from the stands.
“I've heard some rumors around that they do it every now and then,” Drew said. “In the back of my mind, I was hoping that they wouldn't. I think they did a good job the way they handled it.”
Mark McGwire, leading the majors with 44 homers, left the game in the second inning with tightness in his lower back. McGwire, homerless in 13 at-bats since hitting his 500th and 501st last Thursday, walked in his only plate appearance. The Cardinals said he came out as a precaution.
Reliever Jim Poole (1-1) got the victory despite allowing Drew's RBI single in the top of the eighth that gave St. Louis a 5-2 lead. Wayne Gomes pitched the ninth for his 17th save.
Alex Arias' RBI double off Manny Aybar cut it to 5-3 before Gant's clutch hit. Scott Rolen, whose error led to three unearned runs in the fourth, scored Gant with an RBI single to make it 7-5.
Drew was booed and serenaded by the crowd of 48,514 in his first game in Philadelphia because of his contract squabble with the Phillies two years ago. The game was delayed nearly 10 minutes in the eighth after debris landed near Drew in center field.
“They were throwing batteries,” La Russa said. “With that history, to me, the first battery that comes out on the field the game's over. I hope that precedent's set. Somebody throws a battery, Phillies lose.”
While making a pitching change, La Russa escorted Drew off the field and met with the umpires. Public address announcer Dan Baker warned the crowd that the Phillies would have to forfeit the game if more objects were thrown on the field.
Drew popped out to left in his first at-bat, then tripled to the gap in right-center in the third and scored the Cardinals' first run on Ray Lankford's RBI double.
In the eighth, Drew lined an RBI single up the middle to score Joe McEwing to make it 5-2. He stole his 10th base on a double steal.
Drew, who missed the first game of the series with a bruised right hand, heard what longtime observers called the most brutal treatment of a visiting player at the Vet since Dodgers pitcher Burt Hooton was rattled by an obnoxious crowd during the 1977 NL championship series.
Hooton had to leave Game 3 of that series in the second inning when he became wild and was unable to throw a strike the more the crowd razzed him.
Notes: Cardinals OF Thomas Howard was 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and two RBIs and is 6-for-6 in the series. ... Cardinals starter Jose Jimenez walked seven in six innings, allowing two runs and three hits. Phillies starter Robert Person allowed four runs -- one earned -- and six hits in six innings. ... Phillies C Mike Lieberthal made a sensational diving catch on pinch-hitter Placido Palanco's foul bunt in the eighth -- full extension, body parallel to the ground as he caught the ball.
