Blake Griffin's Saving-The-Ball Replay (Times 10)

Blake Griffin saved the ball from going out of bounds.

Then, Blake Griffin saved it again ...

And again ....

And again ....

Then again (from a different angle) ....

And, again (from the same angle as Saves #1 thru #4) ...

Then, Blake Griffin saved the ball again ...

And then Blake Griffin saved the ball again (same camera angle as before, only, this time, the Disneyland Basketball Channel superimposed a mini graphic of Steve Phillips' head and spliced in a telephone interview about how Blake Griffin demonstrated amazing leadership blah blah blah ...

And, then, finally, Blake Griffin saved the ball again (same camera angle as before, only, this time, the Disneyland Basketball Channel super-imposed a mini graphic of Mark Schlereth's head accompanied by the audio of a telephone interview in which Schlereth explained how Blake Griffin displayed incredible desire and leadership yadda yadda yadda ...

Is ESPN really THAT fucking stupid -- or does ESPN think you are THAT fucking stupid?

Blake Griffin's headlong dive over the scorer's table to save a ball headed out of bounds was about as moronic as it gets.

ESPN's All-Star Tribute To Blake Griffin Saving The Ball Heading Out Of Bounds was equally ridiculous.

Completely mind-boggling ...

THIS WAS NOT BLAKE GRIFFIN diving into the crowd where 3 or 4 fans could've cushioned his fall.

No, this time, he had a very REAL chance to land in the walkway behind the table and injure his wrist, elbow or shoulder.

But, since every on-camera joker at ESPN is a queen-sized pussy, nobody's going to have the guts to tell America how idiotic that play was.

So, we must ask, the next time that Blake Griffin runs into the middle of traffic on the busy interstate to save a bag of Goldfish crackers that a little girl in the car ahead of him accidentally dropped out the window, maybe ESPN can place the Steve Phillips mugshot on our TV screen and have him offer a sound-byte from his sex-addict daze ... when he maybe banged a teenager (boy or girl, it don't really matter ... he's a recovering addict, remember?) or two on the way home from Shea Stadium.

Now, THAT'S quality TV!

The visual: Griffin scooping up the Goldfish while diving out of the way of an 18-wheeler ...

The audio: Steve Phillips educating America re: curtains-matching-carpet ...
