This just in: Team USA goalie Ryan Miller (http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/usa/ryan+miller/1024093/;_ylt=AhZ.nuvmp84Z0TUk2ViB.SBotLV_) has not, repeat, has not guaranteed a gold medal for his team. And MSNBC found that out the hard way on Friday.
The network had a phone interview with someone claiming to be the Buffalo Sabres (http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/buf/;_ylt=AhsqxRHKhfMSoBXvYLwW6pdotLV_) goalie on Friday afternoon after the U.S. (http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/usa/;_ylt=Amw2xZcDyxjNpETJSaM6afBotLV_) victory over Finland (http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/fin/;_ylt=AqxLwgq.8WZ66uMwi6aAq59otLV_) in the Olympic hockey tournament semifinals.
Liberals favorite network (http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/MSNBC-gets-pranked-by-fake-Ryan-Miller-offers-o?urn=oly,224640)
