"Toronto Raptors Think Of Really Good Comeback 10 Minutes After Losing Game"

       This article was founded in the Onion. There is no clear identification as to who wrote this article. It only states that it was in Toronto. On Wednesday, the Tornto Raptors lost to the Philidelphia 76ers by an embarassing final score. After the game their center Aaron Gray was interviewed. He and his teammates realized ten minutes after the game that they could have easily won this game. They should have won by simply following fundamentals such as jumping and passing. They also thought as a team about how they have even won twenty games this year.
       This article uses a great deal of humor and sarcasm. It is almost as if it is mocking the Toronto Raptor's team. The humor in this article is that the Raptor's team realized that they could have won ten minutes after the game actually finished. You are supposed to be thinking about winning during the game, not afterwards in the shower. The sarcasm comes in when they say they have no idea how they've won twenty games this year. This is both humor and sarcasm because they are trying to show how the Raptor's team is slow at creating ideas to win during the game as well as just making their team look bad in the interview.
