The combination of Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, Twitter and a photo of a kid with a gigantic mullet has ruined the Internet for morons everywhere.
On Saturday Matthews retweeted the photo of the kid proudly rocking a wild mullet. It was accompanied with the following text: Proof that @ClayMatthews52 was a badass even in kindergarten!
Of course, anyone with half a brain would probably know the photo isn’t Matthews and was just a clever attempt to get the linebacker’s attention. Unfortunately, people who run many of the Internet’s websites aren’t all that smart.
They ran with the photo with the assumption that it was Matthews. Below are just a few of the many search results.
Well done, idiots.

This is the problem with blogs, twitter, etc. Nobody does any fact checking. You hear story and you run with it because you want the traffic. Facts be damned.
However, in this case it’s not really that big of deal. And kinda funny.
this is the best thing Clay has done since blaming the You Tube girl crying in her car because she wore the wrong jersey to the Giant playoff game. You’ve got to love the sense of humor, and the rockin’ mullet.
We are all about the funny in football at TP.
I know that kid! It’s ME! Like Matthews, we both kick people’s butts for a living, I just do mine for the UFC. Thanks to you at Total Packers, you guys are the only ones that cast a little doubt when it came to believing if it was him.
