Zach and I suspected that this could possibly be an April Fool’s joke, and with no other sites reporting Warpaint Illustrated’s Jeff George-Chiefs story at this hour, it looks like that’s exactly what the report was. Too bad. I actually got somewhat pumped about George donning the red, white and gold, even if half of my reasoning was based solely on the entertainment value of the situation.
Honestly, it was a pretty good little joke, considering that the site is typically reliable and that the Chiefs adding George is somewhat of a possibility. Hey, it was a much better prank than people on MySpace.com posting bulletins stating that Johnny Depp had died of a heart attack. Couldn’t they muster anything better? Anyway, Warpaint halfway got us, but hopefully by us posting this we took some people along for the ride as well. Remember, Truman Sports Complex is located in Missouri, and Missouri loves company.

I fell for it for about two seconds. Then I searched Jeff George and found similar articles about George going to other teams.
We didn’t even do that. We just ran with it and said if the joke’s on us, then it’s on our readers too. I still can’t believe that Scout.com ran an April Fool’s joke, though. Who’s next — ESPN?
