Remember the fake Yankee Stadium proposal prank?

    I know it was posted on the board, but I'm too lazy to dig up the original thread. Here's a link to the video:

    Well, Streety Bird got his revenge at the Wake-Maryland game by faking a halfcourt shot for money for his buddy Amir. Here's the video:

    I liked it, personally. It's not as uncomfortably funny as the original proposal prank, but it's much less likely to ruin a relationship.

    That's hilarious. Even when you know it's coming, it's still unbelievably funny.

    That was fucking brilliant. The look on his face when he saw Streeter was priceless.

    Awesome stuff. This one looked more realistic than the Yankee Stadium prank; I thought the slap was a little bogus. Maybe not.

    Effin hilarious!!! Oh man, that was good stuff. Much, much better than the Yankee Stadium prank, I think.

    Given these guys' history, how could he not sniff that ANYTHING involving a stadium was going to be a setup?

    I don't understand why that guy pranked Rachel Maddow.

    I'm sorry, I think the Yankee Stadium one is better. Just because Amir has to be the biggest bozo ever. He threw that ball like Stephen Hawking, and somehow in his mind he thinks he won $500K? Plus the premise of the contest was ridiculous to begin with.

    Now, ruining a friend's relationship in front of 55,000 people, THAT's a prank.
