Buffalo Bills and Toronto Argonauts Team Up For Awesome April Fool's Prank

It's almost a shame that April Fool's Day only comes once a year. Some of the jokes are so great they are freaking epic. There certainly were plenty of good ones this year, but the best has to go to the Toronto Argonauts and Buffalo Bills. For years the NFL has been trying to reach out and cross a few borders in to other countries. There have been games in other countries, but has there ever been a game against a team from another country?

No, but when the Toronto Argonauts tweeted out the news that they were going to play the Buffalo Bills folks were sure quick to believe it.

@TorontoArgos

Here was the tweet that started the whole prank:

It certainly helped when the Bills retweeted the prank tweet:

Looking forward to it! RT @TorontoArgos: BREAKING: #Argos set exhibition game v. Bills @ RWS. http://t.co/hDD81aJCPN pic.twitter.com/EUL2W5b7ep

Lots of folks believed the tweet and kept asking about tickets. As awesome as that would be it was of course a prank which the Argonauts finally fessed up to around lunchtime:

Thanks to those who played along! Especially @buffalobills. Wonder who @DougFlutie would've cheered for? #AprilFools pic.twitter.com/fvWsNV6mOy

Well done Canadiens. Well done indeed.
