Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna and his wife dressed up as a naked man and a fast-food drive-through attendant at a teammate’s Halloween party, depicting an embarrassing moment for one of the team’s assistants.
Kitna said he was merely trying to have fun, but regretted the stir 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 yesterday.
The Lions’ defensive line coach, Joe Cullen, pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and guilty to impaired driving after he was arrested twice last year, once in August 2006 after the police said he was driving nude through a Wendy’s drive-through lane.
Cullen later was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings twice a week.
Lions Coach Rod Marinelli said Kitna’s costume was a nonissue.
Cullen said “no comment” as he walked off the practice field. Later, in a statement released by the team, Cullen said the incident was “in the past.”
What'd Kitna think was going to happen?
