A close encounter of the athletic kind
A sports article that’s so fake it thinks the box score is a real game, and it doesn’t even know who was playing.
They wrote about 'a close encounter of the athletic kind' but didn’t know who was on the team.
The article said it was a 'thrilling game' but didn’t tell us who got the most points.
The writer used the phrase but didn’t know who was even in the game.
