During last Sunday’s game between Green Bay and Detriot, Lions QB Kitna threw three interceptions in three minutes, and two of the picks were returned for scores.  Amazingly, Kitna reportedly took off his helmet and walked to the sideline, while his teammates were trying to stop the third interception from being returned for a touchdown.  For some reason, […]
