Hilarious prank shows Chiefs having fun at training camp

Cornerback Joshua Williams got some priceless footage of teammates falling for a hilarious prank at #Chiefs training camp.

Though the dog days of training camp can be a grind for players in the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs are having a great time as they prepare to defend their Super Bowl LVII title, as evidenced by a video of a hilarious prank that played out in their locker room at Missouri Western State University.

The masterful gambit at play involved a fake serpent and a cooler that, when closed, looks just like any other beverage receptacle. As the lid of the icebox opens, the snake appears to rise out of its bottom, which managed to scare the living daylights out of several Chiefs who fell for the ruse.

While it is unclear exactly which member of the team pulled off this legendary stunt, cornerback Joshua Williams seemed to have the best angle to shoot video of the prank’s results.

Foolishness like this is to be expected when so many charismatic characters converge in one place for an extended period of time, and if the quality of this video is any indication, more high jinks are sure to follow in the coming weeks.

Tiger Woods apologizes for tampon prank that’s gone viral

Tiger Woods apologized for his tasteless prank on Thursday.

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – Tiger Woods apologized for his tasteless prank on Thursday.

After he outdrove Justin Thomas, one of his fellow competitors in his group, on the ninth hole of the first round of the Genesis Invitational, Woods slipped him a female hygiene product, which a photographer captured and the image went viral on social media.

USA Today columnist Christine Brennan summed up the problem with Woods’s sophomoric joke.

“Woods’ message to Thomas was obvious. It has been the go-to line of silly, often insecure boys for generations: You play like a girl,” she wrote.

Woods was asked after his round on Friday about his thought process behind the tampon pranks.

“It was supposed to be all fun and games and obviously it hasn’t turned out that way,” he said. “If I offended anybody, it was not the case, it was just friends having fun. As I said, if I offended anybody in any way, shape or form, I’m sorry. It was not intended to be that way. It was just we play pranks on one another all the time and virally I think this did not come across that way, but between us it was – it’s different.”

Woods expressed contrition, but so did PGA President Ted Bishop, who was forced to resign from his volunteer role after putting out two tweets that called Ian Poulter a “L’il girl,” and he sounded like a “little school girl squealing” in 2014 that denigrated women.

Broncos pranked players with fake ‘ugly sweater’ jerseys

No, the Broncos are not going to wear ‘ugly sweater’ jerseys on Christmas 😅

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”5DwwdX0zJT-2443462-7498″]

The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams are set to face off on Christmas Day, and the teams had a little fun beforehand.

In past years, the NBA has traditionally done Christmas-themed jerseys, but the NFL has not.

Broncos kicker Brandon McManus and Rams safety Nick Scott teamed up with CBS Sports to prank teammates with fake “ugly sweater” Christmas jerseys ahead of Sunday’s game.

The Denver jerseys notably had reindeer on the helmet in place of the regular logo, as well as orange and blue snowflakes and trees along the collarbone area of the uniforms.

On the other hand, the Rams had Christmas lights on their helmets where the horns usually are.

Not all players fell for it — Brett Rypien quickly found the hidden camera — but many did. Check out their reactions:

And some Rams footage for good measure:

Sunday’s game will be nationally televised on CBS and Nickelodeon. Thankfully for Broncos and Rams players, both teams will be wearing their normal uniforms.

Paul Rudd incredibly finds a way to continue pranking Conan O’Brien with the same movie clip

“You can’t do that on a podcast! It’s a visual joke!”

One of the saddest realizations brought upon by the end of Conan O’Brien’s run on television as a late-night talk show was fact that fans would be losing one of the greatest running gags in media.

You see, every time Paul Rudd would go onto Conan’s show, the Ant-Man actor would somehow get the comedian to believe he was there to show a clip of his latest film. Considering his work spans from Clueless to Avengers: Endgame, how could any host not allow Rudd to show a clip? It’d be malpractice!

In reality, Rudd would only provide a clip from the 1988 film Mac and Me. And every single time, Conan O’Brien would fall for it. No matter how elaborate the set-up for the clip became, no matter how many times Rudd assured him this was for real, Lucy would pull the football away from Charlie Brown at the last second once again.

Now that O’Brien hosts a podcast, Rudd had to get a bit more creative to keep the bit going. Somehow, someway—in audio form!—the actor pulled it off.

Its absolutely incredible Rudd can continue to expose Conan’s gullibility. Truly an actor at the height of his powers. And just in case you’re a little suspicious over how easily this all comes together, you should know there’s more that happens behind the scenes before Rudd ever reaches this point.

“Every time, for years, I was convinced that I would see the real clip,” Conan told Rudd in June 2021. “Because you are a genuinely a nice person. And you would say, ‘this movie is really important to me’ and ‘I put my own money into this, and I really care about this,’ and then you’d pull that s*** every time.”

Even listeners of Conan’s podcast had to see this coming. It didn’t matter. It never does.

The best news of all, however, is how the prank ends.

“The joke continues,” Rudd whispers.

We can’t wait.

Peyton Manning recalls hilarious Eli Manning prank

Peyton Manning is yet to get revenge on his brother, Eli, for an “atomic wedgie” prank that happened on one of their golf trips.

After Eli Manning announced his retirement from the NFL last month, his older brother, Peyton, sat down with the Broncos’ media team to talk about Eli’s accomplished career.

Among the topics that came up: their pranks.

Peyton described Eli as a “silent assassin,” perfectly timing his pranks. Peyton said Eli’s best prank happened on one of their golf trips.

“We were staying in the same room and my bed was kind of up against the corner, and I was taking a nap,” Peyton said. “And he jumps on top of me and gives me almost an atomic wedgie. And he had all the leverage. My shoulders were stuck in the corner. I couldn’t get out. I just had to take it.”

Peyton is yet to get revenge for that particular prank.

“I haven’t been able to get him back,” the former QB said. “Maybe if we get a chance to play some more golf together, maybe I’ll have a chance to get him back. Right now he’s still one up on me.”

There has been some speculation that Peyton and Eli could be a good commentator duo for NFL games but Peyton seemingly shot down those rumors. Peyton and Eli probably won’t end up in a broadcast booth together but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Peyton as a commentator someday.

Peyton will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame next year.
