    The ESPN Ryan Bowen article got me a few years back... I remember my roommate showing me that. That was the best practical joke that could have ever been played on a Rockets fan...

    People talk about Battier's intangibles not being enough... But Ryan Bowen is horrible. To me, even his intangible suck. :D

    I couldn't believe people fell for the Ryan Bowen joke. That was way to obvious it was fake. Boy was I wrong that not many fell for it.

    The only one that ever got me was the first one I read...

    "Rudy T to leave to coach Michigan"

    It was a great one. Not sure what year it was, but I was still using dial-up via AOL and lurking :D

    Not your best work clutch. Why'd T-mac have to ruin April Fools Day for me.

    I fell hook, line, and sinker for last year's April Fool edition when they said Olajuwon had signed with the Rockets for the remainder of the season. That was very, very cruel.

    But funny as hell :cool:

    The one that got me was when the front page claimed that Yao Ming had been hurt in practice and was out for the season. I think that was TMac's first year. Sadly, that one came true a couple of times.

    That got me. This one seemed pretty obvious but still very funny.

    I was hoping the prank would be "Jerry Sloan to be Rockets' Coach"
