I found this hilarious, I just had to share:

Q: After reading over the intern finalists' new TV shows, I think they all
missed one that would be a huge hit for ESPN6. It would be called, "Win Mark
Blount's Money." Here's how it would go. After going through some tryouts, a
player gets the opportunity to play in Mark Blount's place for one game. If he
can better Blount's stats in one major category (points, assists, rebounds),
Blount has to give that player the amount of money he would've earned for that
game (about $85,000). If he can do better than Blount in all categories
(including blocks and steals), Blount has to give him $1 million. Who wouldn't
want to watch that?– Shane Ebbert, Provo, Utah
SG: I'd rather see a game show called, "Get Mark Blount's Attention During
a Timeout." Three contestants would pretend to be the Celtics coach during a
timeout, and they would have 90 seconds in the huddle to somehow divert Blount's
attention away from the Jumbotron, the cheerleaders or the first five rows of
the stands. It would be like the NBA version of "Make Me Laugh."
