    ESPN issued a statement regarding comments by writer Jemele Hill after she encouraged Green Bay Packers fans to find an alternative use for the batteries that go dead in their remotes between now and the Nov. 1 meeting with the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field. Hill suggested that fans use those batters to greet Brett Favre when he returns to the place he called home for 16 seasons. “Listen to me, OK,†Hill said while appearing on ESPN’s “First Take’’ on Wednesday. “If you have a shred of pride, you will give Brett Favre the Duracell treatment when he comes to Lambeau Field.†Asked what “Duracell treatment†meant, Hill replied, “Batteries. Batteries.â€

    Batteries flying from the upper deck and someones getting seriously hurt....and it wont be Favre with a helmet on. Baby should be canned immediately for even saying it....and I dont care if and when she apologizes.
