There have been plenty of great April Fools jokes played on sports fans throughout the years. Prior to web access and social media, it was harder to debunk some of these pranks. The greatest April 1st hoax in New York sports history came courtesy of Sports Illustrated almost four decades ago.
Bow down to Rihanna, the queen of all April Fools' pranks. The singer preceded her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! by pranking the comedian in the best way possible.
I thought I was creative by calling my mom to tell her I was pregnant yesterday (I'm a guy, by the way). That was topped. Google executed some great April Fool's pranks, including their "8-bit" google map feature that makes your home town look like an original Nintendo video game.
