Faking is the new black.Although faking has been going on since the beginning of time - first recorded faking: Eve's third night with Adam - the Oregon Ducks have recently dealt with fakers the most.
The latest example was last week's game at California. After stopping an Oregon run, Cal defensive tackle Aaron Tipoti jumped up, immediately looked to the Cal sideline, saw the "fake" signal and immediately dropped to the turf like he was shot with a tranquilizer dart.
It was the best acting job since Meg Ryan faked an orgasm on "When Harry Met Sally." Although Tipoti needs to work on his groaning.
In honor of Tipoti, here's a link to Alexander O'Neal's old-school jam "Fake" and also some of the more memorable fakers through the years - or at least they faked me out.
o. Soccer players. Every single one. Every single minute. Every single match.
o. Former Lakers center Vlade Divac, who even made soccer players envious.
o. Derek Jeter, who's apparently been getting acting lessons from Minka Kelly, grimaces and grabs a part of his body whenever a pitch comes within a foot of him.
o. "Capricorn One," the 1977 movie about a fake manned mission to Mars, featured O.J. Simpson's greatest acting performance until he appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom in 1995.
o. The legion of very intelligent, very sensitive and very caring women, who prefer to undergo surgery to get fake, uh, body parts. Special recognition to Heidi Montag.
o. Ironically, Thursday night marked the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest fakes of all-time: Joe Theismann faking a broken leg on a tackle by Lawrence Taylor. What? He wasn't faking? Oops, sorry.
o. And Tipoti's ultimate role model: George Costanza. Everything about Seinfeld's best friend was fake: his favorite charity (The Human Fund), his job (an architect) and his name (Art Vandelay). Costanza even faked being handicapped so he could have personal access to one of the best handicap toilets in New York City. Costanza would have made the perfect Cal defensive lineman - or latex salesman.
