Detroit Lions Retire John Kitna And His Jersey During Game

\"Jon, you have been with this team a few years now,\" said Ford. \"You have had quite a season so far, throwing 5 interceptions in only 4 games, and getting us to a 17-0 deficit in only 1 half of football today. But, today we have made the decision to honor one of the great former Lions players, a punter who wore the number 8 back in 1972. I don\'t remember his name, but he was with us for almost half that season, and punted a pretty good ball. Not great, but nothing too horrible either. In the name of, whatever his name was, we are retiring the Lions number 8 jersey today!\"
