Kitna pulls Lions trade prank

Posted: Tuesday April 08, 2008 07:45AM ET

Jon Kitna is on target already. Kitna, the Lions' starting quarterback and No. 1 prankster, scored a direct hit on his first victim of the season. Dan Orlovsky, a backup to Kitna, arrived at the locker room a week ago today for his regular workout with the team and got word he was in the process of being traded to the Colts.

I love it!!! No reason to be so serious - especially this time of the year...

Are they sure it was Jon that pulled the prank on Dan? It sure sounds like something Drew Stanton would do.

Report Offensive Comment

I guess playing for the Lions would make a man mean.

Report Offensive Comment

The mean thing about this prank is that even if they told him it was a joke 5 minutes later, Dan would then have to go take his house back off the market, unpack, and cancel the plane tickets....If it was me, I would be half way to indy before they finished the sentence telling me I got traded.

Not since the one Judas played on J_e_s_u_s got so out of hand.

All-in-all, I'd say it ended up alright though..

Report Offensive Comment

the team is already a joke...they don't need to be doing stuff like this :)

Report Offensive Comment

Jon Kitna, is that what you want to be doing when j-e-s-u-s comes back, making fun of Dan Orlovsky?

Depends on your point of view and that's all I'm going to say in the matter.

Obviously you haven't been around many Christians, lol.

How cruel...when they finally told him the truth.

Report Offensive Comment

yeah, i've never heard of a prank backfiring on the pranksters as bad as this one did. Orlovsky was definitely more pissed off when they told him the truth.

Shoulda said he was being traded to the Falcons or ordered to serve the rest of Vick's term. That would be funny.
