Kitna Donating Entire Paycheck to His HS

[Hostile]

Perhaps this will shut the clowns up that prematurely slobbered all over the board with their drivel around his motivation to file the 3rd QB spot. As I noted when he signed, class guy. This confirms it.

Keep reading the thread.

Could have just asked Jerry to send him a check for doing nothing....

You should present your idea of players being paid only for actual game time to the Players Union. I am sure they will jump to agree it is only those who actually play that deserve pay.

Ridiculous troll is ridiculous.

I read every day. just don't post much any more. The place hardly resembles a Cowboys forum any more. Everyone was pro Commanders last week and pro Eagles this week.

Yeah. It's quite unfortunate. The ADD totals on the board are definitely much higher in recent years.

I know it's totally unrealistic, but for some reason this story reminded me of the movie Cinderella Man. If you don't know it, it's the true story of this New Jersey boxer (played by Russell Crowe) who was a mediocre boxer in his prime, but in his twilight years he became world champion. He was old, washed up, and desperate to provide for his family during the Great Depression. I had a dream last night that Kitna won the Super Bowl. Then I envisioned the making of a movie starring Kitna--a washed up 41 year old high school math teacher, struggling to help this inner-city school, he decides to lend a favor to his old team who just lost their star QB. He hopes not to play a snap, but Orton goes down and Kitna must step up. He goes on to win the next 5 games to clinch Dallas' 6th Super Bowl. He goes back to the high school and gives some inspirational speech about how you should never give up on your dreams. Then, right before the credits roll, text shows up on the screen saying what all the students are up to now. "Rodrigo turned his life around, graduated from high school, got an athletic scholarship to University of Washington, and led the Pac 12 in rushing."

I agree, this place gives a circus a bad name.

The school is a trip, it's Stadium HS in Tacoma WA the Football field is a bowl with bleachers made out of concrete and a view of the Bay when you sit up high. My sons Club Soccer Team used it for their home games. Google Stadium HS it's an awesome building but yes it's a tough school, he was a great addition to that school and he could have easily gone to Curtis (by his house) where they are one of the top HS in the area

Yeah, that school could use it. His son was set to go to Curtis (I was the athletic trainer there for four years), but Kitna graduated from Lincoln, and they offered him the HC position and promised him a lot.

This is a nice story. Kitna's a pretty cool cat.

I'm still trying to figure out why Kitna's signing is such a big deal around here. Why would anyone really question it given the circumstances? In this sort of situation, you aren't looking to find a guy to take over the franchise. Everyone is hoping Kitna doesn't have to play, including Kitna, but at worst, he's as good as anyone else we could have brought in here.

Because every player we sign is the wrong guy. Every player we cut will turn out to be awesome somewhere else. Every player we draft sucks. Every player we pass on in the Draft is a stud. Every player we let go in FA we should have kept. Every player we keep we should cut. Every player should want to play here for the vet minimum.

Did I forget any angle to the roster unhappiness?

that seems to cover everything that some self proclaimed 'fans' say

 

[dupree89]

Not sure if this has been posted, but Kitna is already donating his entire teacher's salary to the school.

While it's a noble act, it wasn't second thought for Kitna, who made millions during a 15-year NFL career, because he was already donating his entire teacher salary to the booster program.

 

[lostar2009]

So much for the theories here yesterday that he was motivated to do this just for the money.

http://www.***BANNED-URL***/sports/...itna-53000-he-ll-donate-it-to-high-school.ece

Why do ppl think like this, its always for the money. Somebody was going to be resigned and issued that one game check.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Class act... I like him a lot.

Don't want to start a new Kitna thread, but if anybody gets a chance, read the following story:

[mahoneybill]

Don't donate all of it. He still needs to pay taxes (30%), his agent (20%), 401K, TDA, etc, etc. The school will be lucky to get 40% of it. ha ha

40 % of something is still better than 100 % of nothing. Classy move by Kitna .

I love that story.

That bothers you? That's discussion, albeit aggressive at times . Your a vet around here, don't let us pessimist types sway you. Positivity and loyalty aren't bad qualities by any means.

Well, that about sums it up. All those things considered, it's a miracle we've won a game this year, let alone put ourselves in position for the division crown. That must've been dumb luck though.

Thank goodness the shill society has gone back under their rocks. This story is bulletproof.

Post of the year. Couldn't have said it any better myself.
