The Jon Kitna Love Fest Continues….
September 21, 2007 on 12:39 pm | In Uncategorized |Yahoo’s Dan Wetzel in his recent column entitled True Believer, has recently joined Dan Orlovsky, Tom “Killer” Kowalski (Kitna Proves Toughness On, Off Field) and the throngs of Lions fans who haved championed Kitna’s recent performances. One thing is certain, the 35-year old Kitna is one tough cookie.
If the Lions continue to enjoy success, it will be largely due to Kitna’s leadership and toughness. His Sunday comeback was a remarkable, standard bearing-type of performance, that should resonate throughout the entire organization, providing his teammates with a touchstone in which they may be enlisted to continue to showcase their newfound commitment.
Lost in all of this, near anonymously in fact, is Rod Marinelli. Through two games, we are beginning to see that Lions players are actually buying into his program, and the team may eventually be able to emerge from it’s long term morass.
As always, you have to temper expectations when it comes to this organization, but even the faint outline of potential success, can awaken the spirits of long suffering Lions fans. Meanwhile, churches in the Detroit area may become SRO, and Lions fans may direct praises, rather than the usual curses towards their deities, if Kitna’s crusade in honolulu blue continues to march onward.

Your right about the lack of mention of Sgt. Marinelli. The only time I’ve heard him mentioned on WXYT all week is when the hosts are talking about KITNA. Pretty crazy stuff.
I hope I don’t blaspheme this weekend, but I probably will.

Wait ’til you guys see these Eagles jerseys. I am worried that that quarterback who wines and complains like a spoiled little girl whenever he struggles will have a good day vs. Detroits 2 deep D. McNabb (who is black by the way) and/or his receivers have struggled against man coverage this season. Not to worry vs. LIONS cover two. My hope for the LIONS this week is that they play well i.e. penalties, turnovers, blocking etc. The basics. The LIONS must, to use this overused term, execute. This is a “must win” (grossly overused) game for the Eagles. This is a “play a good game” bout for the LIONS. LIONS 20 Eagles 31
GO LIONS (Welcome home Kevin Jones)

Hondo, did you blaspheme this Sunday? I certainly would have. Sleeman–you forgot to suggest that Hondo get into some drawers and handle a sub-penis…..
At any rate, that McNabb “Real Sports” stuff is out the window now, ain’t it Whitey? He had a banner performance, just like the dichotomous (ya know, Good Rex Vs. Bad Rex) Rex Grossman will likely have if the Lions LB’s and secondary aren’t able to tackle and cover better. What’s the deal with he and Kevin Curtis going Culpepper-to-Moss on us anyhow?
Well, back to the drawing board. Are there any Pro Bowl caliber CB’s, LB’s, or DE’s on the waiver wire for the Lions to add to their roster this week?
