Daunte Culpepper sets Gaming World Record


I received a press release from EA Sports today saying Daunte Culpepper has set a new world record, which will be included in the Guinness Book of World Records: Gamer's Edition, in the Two-Minute Drill mini-game included in "Madden NFL 2002."

Culpepper, who appeared on the box of the game, set the record of 14,500 points while playing at EA's 20th Anniversary Premiere Party for "Madden NFL 09."

Now, here's what I want to know. What the hell is Daunte Culpepper doing still playing "Madden 2002?" Is he that starved for the good 'ole days when he was a top fantasy pick? Was he missing Randy Moss one day and said to himself "I just gotta find a way to have Randy back!"

How long has he been practicing on that game anyway? If this is actually a World Record instead of just a number conjured by Electronic Arts, he had to have been practicing for a few weeks before the night of the party.

And honestly, who this side of Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe gives a damn about the record in the mini-game of a seven-year-old video game?

Daunte, I have a little advice for you. Spend more time earning back a starting job and less time promoting "The King of Kong 2: A fistful of John Madden."
