49ers trade a 2024 2nd round pick to the Raiders for Jimmy Garoppolo.

Even the April Fool's King in the zone would not have dared launching one about Brady. Or Garoppolo. Lamar Jackson would have needed some really fancy (pretend) cap explanations to avoid being blown straight out of the water. Personally I was glad we let it lie this year.

I fell for the gag several times. I was looking this year for a gag article. Didn't find one. I feel the Brady one was no way. Maybe Lamar?

I remember that, I knew it was fake by the fact it was April 1st, a lot of fans wanted Johnson back then, ah the good ole days, I actually am happy no more April fools jokes on front-page, just annoying, someone did a Yannick to 49ers on April 1st, it got people lol.

"Reportedly"…
For some writers April Fools isn't a day, it's a state of mind.

I once helped write part of the April fool's prank. I don't think it was the Andre Johnson one, though. What the hell was it?

Only one I fell for was the Mike Wallace one.

Judging by the current climate in the YouTube chats. A title of Trey Lance has secret ankle surgery. Could have done a piece on bionic bio-degradable 6mm screws. The title would have triggered the emotion and they wouldn't be able to make sense of bio-degradable bionic 6mm screws.
