    If Karl Malone came here and won a championship would he be the greatest Rocket of all time?

    Sorry...I couldn't resist. :D

    Getting out there on April Fools and pranking people early helps get you into the right mind-set for today. Though I felt bad when a few people really thought my wife moved out.

    Oh well, nature of the beast.

    CHARLIE WARD QUITS BASKETBALL; CONVERTS TO JUDAISM

    I immediately recognized that the article was not written in proper news style and dismissed it. I guess being a journalist comes in handy sometimes.

    Damnit. I almost got excited (i didn't look at other posts yet). I clicked on the link to make sure, considering it is the 1st of April.

    hmmm. damn. ya kind of got me.

    Would have been cooler if you made a fake page with the fake article. That would have been so much better and would have gotten me when I check the link.

    I knew it was a joke at this:

    Pelinka says the Rockets will likely be his destination given their available starting position due to the injury to their previous starter, Juwan Howard.
