Matt Cassel Throws A Touchdown, Nails The Celebration Fail

by Dylan Murphy | 10:00 am, August 26th, 2012

Russell Wilson may have shined in his first NFL start against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday night, but the real star was Matt Cassel. Not for anything particularly football-noteworthy, but rather his extra-curricular activities. After stepping up to escape pressure and beaming a nine-yard touchdown pass to Dexter McCluster, Cassel sprints to the end zone to celebrate.

Except his jump-on-the-pile enthusiasm goes awry when there’s no pile. But that face (back, really) full of turf hardly deters Cassel, who brushes off the gaffe with some helmet slapping.

We totally didn’t notice, though.

We’ll also take this opportunity to say we haven’t forgotten, Nate.

Ethan Strauss In general, the Warriors need guys who can dribble a basketball. If Jack leaves, Curry and Lee are the only dudes with good handles.

Matt Jones I know little about the Dalai Lama except (a) he is a big hitter and (b) his presence has overrun downtown Louisville with unbathed hippies

Adam Schefter Maybe he picks Denver, but Charles Woodson is intrigued with idea of finishing his NFL career in same place he started it: Oakland.

Ethan Strauss Landry and Jack were great GSW pickups in part because they worked cheaply. Retaining either doesn't seem essential, necessarily.
