So this video and photo just got sent to my inbox from someone in New York City:

I can’t tell if it’s real or not… but I know New York City pretty well and it looks like a Go Kings Go billboard featuring Will Ferrell near Madison Square Garden. And then I found these on the Twitter:

Will Ferrell put up a video outside MSG rooting for the Kings…Why don't you focus on coming out with a good movie again? #BecauseItsTheCup — Matt Germann (@MR_G_10) June 6, 2014

Okay, that’s actually a good point.

And then I discovered the ultimate proof that something is real… it’s on Reddit!

So can anyone in New York City confirm this? Did someone pay for a Go Kings Go billboard featuring Will Ferrell at the base of Madison Square Garden? And if so… please come forward so we can high-five you! Email us at TheRoyalHalf at GMAIL and let us know!
