2044-00009: Talons Fall for Clickbait; Click On an Article That Has Phoenix in the Title, Has Nothing to do With Phoenix

Phoenix, AZ--

The Talons are normally fastidious when they surf the web. They keep a wary eye open for scams, fake news, and clickbait. But a recent team news on the BBA forum page was too tempting to ignore.

Checking the forum last night on their trusty Blackberry^TM, the Talons saw a team news entitled "Out-Phoenixing Phoenix". Wow, the Talons thought. Perhaps its an article about a franchise eclipsing the Talons record of Most Torn Labrums? Or beating the franchise mark for Most Draft Picks Selected in Auto? Perhaps another team is gunning for the Talons illustrious standard of Most Useless Team News Articles. Could be anything! Sufficiently piqued, the Talons clicked on the article and got to reading.

"Huh?", the Talons thought to themselves. "This has nothing to do with Phoenix. What does it mean? Is there a hidden agenda that we don't understand here?"

The Talons, working the night shift, revisited the article numerous times throughout the evening, hopeing to discern why this Team News, ostensibly about Phoenix, was nothing of the sort. "Well, maybe it's because they misspelled a players name. But we don't do that," the Talons thought. "Do we? Damn, what does it all mean!!!"

The franchise was still trying to figure out the meaning of the article as of press time.

"Maybe it's something we missed on Slack..."
