It couldn't have happened to a better network. MSNBC's Willie Geist had what he thought was interview with U.S. Hockey goalie Ryan Miller on Friday. It turned out to be an imposter when the fake Miller guaranteed a U.S. victory on Sunday against Canada.
The real Ryan Miller has not guaranteed a gold medal for his team. Miller is way to humble and nice to issue that kind of a statement on air. The real Miller offered up these words:
I appreciate a good prank. But I do try to keep my reputation intact... I just want to clear up I [wouldn't be] guaranteeing a gold medal. I look forward to a great game to compete for a gold medal, though.
I'm sure more shenanigans will come out before the puck drops on USA and Canada on Sunday.
