I'm no fan of April Fools jokes or pranks in general, so I was not a fan of any of them.

Tom Brady in the full body cast, after his water hole cliff jumping in Costa Rica escapades.
Well played, he set it up with a view last week.
That one where the guy made the joke then asked everyone if it was funny.
I thought the one about the documentary was great. Salazar is nearly a public figure, it could almost have been true. Once I got to the final quote about viagra that gave it away.
The one about Stephanie Hightower was in poor taste, especially in light of some rather insensitive things the site has published (or Rojo has written on the boards) showing what I might charitably call white-favoritism.
I always get a kick out of the "truth can be stranger than fiction" section the most. Puts things back into perspective.

Yeah, though I can't believe "40 year old runs 3:55 mile" wasn't in there!

Wow, you're right. I can't believe we didn't think to include that. Lagat has been good so long and still makes it look easy, I think I sometimes forget how crazy it is that a 40-year-old is running that fast.
Honestly, if I read that headline real fast without thinking I might have thought to myself, "Wait, what 40-year-old ran 3:55?!" I might have thought of Anthony Whitman first ... I almost don't see Lagat as 40.
Best quote “I knew John Capriotti (Nike Global Director of Athletics) does not give a shit about following rules. FTC guidelines are not his concern. If I could keep a few negative Nike stories from hitting the homepage and bury a few stories LRC might be looking into, then I knew Nike would pay something for that,” said Soprano.
That entire article was hilarious
Another vote for your article--good stuff!
Will it get you a much deserved raise?
The line
"But I think the winning time will be under 14:00. We don’t want to waste the fans’ time.”
is great.
I knew it was April 1 and so I wasn't tricked by the Ches/Jenkins piece. But I totally believed the news about Mo Aman becoming a citizen. Seemed plausible after his surprising decision to join OTC a while back.

The one in which Oiselle and LetsRun merge!

Thank you, but the one "about me" actually wasn't the one I wrote so I can't take credit.
I was really looking forward to ESPN's 30 for 30 on Salazar.
Well done guys.
