You hear that, Drew Sharp? All wrong about assuming Joe Cullen would have taken offense to Jon Kitna's Halloween costume. You remember that saying about assuming?"Joe didn't have a problem with it, it doesn't seem," Kitna said. "The first question out of his mouth was, 'Did you win?' I don't think it's really an issue."Kitna was trying to win a costume contest at Mike Furrey's charity event, and would have given the prize -- a car -- to Cullen had he won. Even Rod Marinelli and Cory Redding supported the "everyone knew it was all in good fun" defense, though Kitna admitted he had no idea the vitriol it would produce in the media.
In a statement, the Lions said they asked Cullen whether he was bothered by Kitna's costume. His response: "No, not at all. It's in the past."
And, for all of those who think that Kitna might be able to dish it out without taking it:
Kitna, a devout Christian, laughed as he recalled how he was lampooned by a couple who dressed up as him and his wife, Jennifer, and thumped Bibles.More people should take themselves as seriously as Cullen and Kitna.
