April Fools FTL, Around The Horn FTW




Seeing as I am starchily against April Fool's jokes, I was pretty much upset all day yesterday, as every media outlet in America tried their best to pull one over on you. Only Around the Horn (video above) came through with a decent "prank" when Woody Paige hosted the show instead of Tony Reali (who appeared as a panelist).

As a service to my millions of readers, I thought I'd run down a few of the worst perpetrators (some sports related, some not):

PTI - Their lead story was that Calipari passed on the Kentucky job and Rick Pitino had stepped in. Had me for about 3 seconds, then I was blinded with rage

Gambo and Ash - Claimed that Lute Olsen has decided to come back to the University of Arizona to coach again (this actually would have been better than what may REALLY happen)

Heidi Montag - Claimed she was pregnant on twitter, only ended up fooling herself. BOOM, roasted. (BTW if you follow her on twitter, you should be thrown in a burlap sack and beaten)

CBS - Promoted a new show called "I Get That A Lot" where celebrities posed as normal people and when people recognized them they say "I get that a lot". Wait, this wasn't a joke? It's an actual show?
