Daunte Culpepper Uses His Virtual Self to Beat a Record

Just in time for "Guiness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008," quarterback Daunte Culpepper has broken a record on Madden NFL 2002. A game with his face on the cover. Using his own virtual self. Here's a press release from the people at Guinness.

With drives rivaled only by his avatar, former Madden NFL cover boy Daunte Culpepper persevered and established a new Guinness World Record for "Highest Score in the Two-Minute Drill on Madden NFL 2002" with a staggering 14,500 points. Playing the same game that featured him on the cover, Culpepper played as himself with the Minnesota Vikings and made some serious connections to then-teammate Randy Moss. He earned the record at EA's 20th Anniversary Premiere Party for Madden NFL 09, and if unbeaten, will be included in the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2009, scheduled for release next February.
