Fun with Matt Cassel’s Wiki!
Uncategorized October 29th. 2007, 2:51pm
An astute reader points us in the general direction of Matt Cassel’s highly comical wikipedia page. Although you may not have heard of Cassel – because he never started a college football game at USC – he is the Patriots backup QB. Last week, he was famously inserted into New England’s blowout of Miami, but after throwing a pick-six, he was yanked from the game and Brady was re-inserted. While Cassel’s wiki is full of laughs, whoever altered it saved the best for last: “Cassel is the second best quarterback in the history of the NFL, behind Tom Brady. But no one will ever know because he will never play. USC would have beat Texas if Cassel was played.” Must be nice to have a mom capable of tinkering with wikipedia. If we knew how to do a screengrab, we would. But we don’t.

It looks like it’s already changed back to normal. However, this is my favorite part of the entry:

Mini-turorial on screen grabs:
1. Select image you want to screen grab.
2. Press “Print Screen” button on keyboard.
3. Open Photoshop (or other image editing software.)
4. Paste image unto the canvas.
5. Name and save.
6. Put your junk in the box.
It’s that easy.

I think it is funny that a post about a backup QB’s wiki page is going to have more comments than the best player in the NBA and his job uncertainty. Tells you all you need to know about how far behind the NFL the NBA is.

I use WinSnap for screenshots. Very easy to use and cutomizable.

I was once in a Yahoo fantasy league where someone carried Matt Cassell on their team all year. I figured it was some kind of inside joke or someone who thought Brady was about to go down with injury.

When in doubt and things disappear from someone’s Wiki page, use WikiScanner. Click on the little changes that were made to see ‘em all.
Yikes, people are crazy.
