April Fools Day- Ever pull off any sports-themed jokes?

[SabresRule]

With today being April Fools day (I will not pull a stunt like last year, when I pretended that I might leave this site- I am only going to ask something to you guys), I was wondering if any of you have ever pulled off any sports-related April Fools jokes.

I was going to post 'Mcnabb is now a member of the Cleveland Browns, can't believe they gave up Cribbs and a 1st' just to make a couple people poke through Google for a few minutes to try and find out more, but im not that mean.

I don't know about sports related, but for the first time in 4 years, my newspaper wasn't delivered to my driveway this morning. My whole day has been thrown for a loop. I hope the paper carrier isn't playing an April Fools on me!

I see that Google Maps has a 3D now.

While it's not a joke that I pulled, it has to be one of the best I've ever seen in a major publication. I'm sure with the technology around today this couldn't be pulled off to the magnitude it was back then:

The Curious Case Of Sidd Finch - SI

There is a clue if you take the first letter from every word in the title page:

He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga—and his future in baseball

Ryan Miller Traded?

If they were to move him, then we want a good scoring center in exchange!

Stevo, Your posts have been pretty credible, THAT would end that quickly.

Yeah, youtube links automatically embed the entire video instead of just being a click-able link. Oh, well. It was all in good fun anyways.
