		Kitna was named MVP as he led the NFL Europe Barcelona Dragons to the 1998 World Bowl Championship, and won 38-24 over the Rhein Fire.
		Kitna's secondary role with the team was to prepare young quarterback Carson Palmer (the Bengals' #1 draft pick in 2003.) It was a role Kitna accepted gracefully.
		Kitna finished 24-40 for 197 yards with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions as the Bengals fell to the Steelers 31-17.

	Changing of the guard
		Kitna's leadership and overall play made the decision more difficult for Lewis, but as has been Lewis' way since taking over the team in January 2003, he had a plan and has stuck with it.
		Kitna earned an automatic raise in his base salary for 2004 with his play last season and is due to make $3.38 million.
		While Kitna wished he had been given the opportunity to do that more often last season, he said won't be a disruptive force as long as he is still with the team.

	JS Online: Kitna is learning on the fly
		Kitna, the Seattle Seahawks' starting quarterback, wanted to pick Favre's brain about what it is like to play for Mike Holmgren, the man who had molded Favre and helped him win three most valuable player awards.
		Kitna apparently has been a capable student because seven weeks into the season, he is the American Football Conference's highest-rated passer.
		Kitna, on the other hand, played at NAIA Central Washington, wasn't drafted, spent a year on Seattle's practice squad, played in NFL Europe and was the No. 3 quarterback as late as November of last season.

	Seattle Seahawks Jon Kitna Page
		Kitna connected on all eight of his attempts for 116 yards, and has put together a remarkable preseason in which he has completed 28 of 32 attempts.
		Jon Kitna was born in Tacoma, Wash., went to the NAIA school Central Washington and lives in Bothell, Wash. He grew up a fan of the Seahawks and was a big fan of Dave Krieg, who was a Seattle quarterback from 1980 to 1991 and who now serves as backup to Steve McNair.
		Kitna inexplicably lost the handle on the ball when he was rolling away from pressure in the third quarter, but recovered it.

		Kitna is a success with or without football, and we should rejoice in his success.

		Kitna: It was tough, you want to talk about other things, but you can't think about anything else to talk about, because you are just replaying the game in your mind.
		Kitna: I was excited when he got hired as a coach and general manager and all the other titles he has.
		Kitna: Not really, you know, we went back and watched a lot of them ourselves, just because that's the best way to learn the offense, to look at what it is supposed to look like.

	Cincinnati Post Bengals coverage
		LOUIS -- As Bengals quarterback Jon Kitna hobbled away from the podium where he had his postgame press conference, he stopped to remove the bag of ice that was bandaged to his ailing right ankle.
		Kitna completed 16 of 29 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown, but threw a season-high three interceptions, had several passes deflected at the line of scrimmage and finished with a season-worst 49 passer rating.
		The difference was that Kitna placed the TD pass in a spot out of the reach of the defender, but Butler was able to pick off Kitna's last pass attempt of the game because there was no arc on the ball.

	Jon Kitna's cross to bear his own fault
		Kitna was fined $5,000 by the NFL for wearing a red cap with a cross sewn on it.
		Kitna does plan to appeal the fine, though, because he thought the NFL rules applied to wearing a competitor's product, he said.
		Kitna wears the cap as a demonstration of his faith, and that is commendable.

		Palmer is in uniform, but the Bengals figure to get Jon Kitna in the mix at some point, if not out of the gate, so as not to unnecessarily risk losing Palmer for the playoffs.
		During the Bengals' weekly quarterback news conference, backup Jon Kitna said Palmer was disappointed that his sprained left knee did not improve more in the past two days, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
		It was the type of pass that Jon Kitna might not have had the arm strength to complete.

	SI.com - NFL - Head2Head: Is Jon Kitna the Bengals' long-term answer? - Friday December 5, 2003 2:00AM
		No one counted on Jon Kitna, thought to be just the latest Scott-Mitchellian schmoe in a long line of Bengal schmoes, to go 6-1 in his last seven games, to be on a 16-touchdown-pass, three-interception streak.
		That guy is Jon Kitna, and I think it'll be the reborn Jon Kitna for a long time.
		I love a feel-good story as much as the next hack, and Jon Kitna's rise to legitimate MVP candidate is as good as it gets in the warm and fuzzy department this NFL season.

		Coach Mike Holmgren announced the captains will be quarterback Jon Kitna and running back Ricky Watters on offense, Pro Bowl tackle Cortez Kennedy and Pro Bowl linebacker Chad Brown on defense and James Logan and Fabien Bownes on special teams.
		Holmgren, Seattle's first-year coach, has been careful not to criticize Kitna in public this season, saying he thinks he's doing a good job considering that this is his first season as a starter in the league.
		Kitna said Holmgren has yelled at him before and he he'll yell at him again because that's just the way Holmgren is.

		Kitna will be going up against a tough Eagles' defense but he will benefit from the fact Philadelphia is likely going to sit many of their starters.
		The Bengals are not going to risk their quarterback of the future in a meaningless game at the end of the season, especially when they have a quality backup in Jon Kitna.
		Had Jon Kitna played better Sunday, Lewis might be more inclined to stick with the veteran.

		Jon Kitna was going to be a math teacher, not a pro quarterback, not the guy behind the face mask barking out signals, “Blue, 17, hut, hut, hut.”
		For Kitna, the unlikely journey began with a 12-inch growth spurt between his 14th and 15th birthdays, changing him from one of the smallest in his class to one of the biggest.
		Kitna refused, but several weeks later he got down on his knees while watching a NFL game on TV by himself and prayed.

	Kitna, still a good guy, now a good quarterback
		But Kitna also has those games where he makes throws that defy logic -- with a pair of three-TD pass, zero-interception games this season as Exhibit A and B. "I think the main thing for me lately is I'm seeing the football field as a whole better than I ever have," Kitna said.
		Kitna also has a pair of pretty talented, not to mention quick and explosive, wide receivers in Peter Warrick (33 catches for 323 yards and three TDs) and Chad Johnson (32 for 559 and four) -- the Bengals' first-round draft choice in 2000 and second-round pick in 2001, respectively.
		In two-plus seasons as the Seahawks' starter, Kitna's receiver were in a state of flux -- from Joey Galloway and Mike Pritchard in 1998; to Derrick Mayes and Sean Dawkins in 1999; to Dawkins and Darrell Jackson in 2000.

		Kitna assumed the starting job for good in week five, and once he settled in rattled off five multiple touchdown games and a string of seven straight 250-plus-yard performances.
		Four of Corey Dillon’s five 100-yard rushing games came with Kitna under center, and an offense that had totaled a miserable 23 points (yes, that’s a total) through the first month of the season topped 30 twice and averaged better than 21 points per game the rest of the way.

		Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jon Kitna was fined $5,000 by the league for wearing a ball cap in post-game interviews that was forbidden by the league's code of uniform conduct.
		Kitna credits his turnaround this season to his faith in Christ stabilizing him during the tough times.
		Kitna would then turn the position over perhaps at mid-season, as the Bengals, the worst professional franchise in all of sports in the last 15 years, would struggle to a 13-loss season.

		Kitna endured an ugly quarterback situation under coach Mike Holmgren with the Seahawks in 2000.
		And while Kitna mentors Palmer because of Kitna's eight years in the NFL, the relationship is not a one-way street.
