Someone at Miami FOX affiliate WSVN saw this tweet last night and didn't realize that they were reading a parody account:

Ray Allen is finalizing the final details of a 3 yr/11 Million Dollar withthe Miami Heat and will sign it tonight. Sources tell Y!

As a result, hilarity ensued. Well, hilarity for us, at least. We pity the poor intern who probably just lost his job over this.
