So Jon Kitna and his wife has some fun this Halloween. The Detroit Lions QB and sack dummy was under some hot water from the local media when he and his wife dressed up as a naked man and a naked woman making out in the car a fast food drive-thru attendant, making fun of his defensive line coach Joe Cullen, who was arrested for driving naked through a fast food drive-thru, and was asking for the footlong had been drinking that night. Well doesn't this beat all? Kitna has since apologized for this incident. Here is one of the excerpts from the story:
Kitna said he was just trying to have fun, but regrets the scrutiny the costumes created.
"If I would've known this, I wouldn't have done it because I didn't want to try to bring attention to it," Kitna said Wednesday while surrounded by reporters and television cameras.
"He's done everything they've asked of him," Lions coach Rod Marinelli said before this season started. "And, there's a lot more that he's had to do."
Marinelli said Kitna's costume was a non-issue with the team.
"It's Halloween," Marinelli said. "I'll leave it at that."
Cullen said "no comment" as he walked off the practice field Wednesday, but the team said it asked him if the costume bothered him.
"No, not at all," Cullen said in a statement released by the team. "It's in the past.
Kitna and his wife wore the costumes to a teammate's charity party Monday in suburban Detroit, where the prize for the best outfit was a car.
"All I was trying to do was wear a costume that people would have fun with," Kitna said. "I wasn't trying to demean Joe. If he hadn't come so far, I would not ever have done it. He's very confident of who he is and is very peaceful about what's happened in the past.
This story comes the day after a hunting dog shot his owner. This world is messed up. I think I've gone crazy.
