In Memory of Ned T Elbows

[The Ken]

I'll do a shot for him (just not 5)

[Panoptes]

Dave is still missed by this old guy who at one point used to be referred to as young man by him.

Its hard to believe he's been gone so long already.

[Panoptes]

What's the dealio on this years draft up there Nedster?

[Malto Marko]

I truly miss his wisdom and creative way of expressing it.

Hey Big NTE,

Do me a favor and walk over to the big guy and ask him to stop crossing the signals he's sending down to his follower, J kINTna.

Kids delusional, now he's talking about tossing 50 TD's.

Kitna's lofty aim: 50 passing TDs

At this rate, Jon Kitna might say the Lions are going to win two Super Bowls -- this season.

Having already made waves by saying the Lions will win 10 games this year, the quarterback mentioned another far-out figure during an appearance on ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" radio show Friday.

Asked how many touchdown passes he will throw this season, Kitna replied: "We've been joking around as the passing-game crew -- the receivers and tights ends and stuff -- we've been breaking down our little huddles saying '50' and all that stuff.

"But we know that's an awful lofty goal."

Why, yes, it is. The NFL record, held by Peyton Manning, is 49. Kitna's career high is 26, set in 2003.

The interviewers also asked Kitna about his 10-wins-or-more prediction, and he again stood behind it.

"The thing I think is holding back our organization is expectations," Kitna said. "Our expectation level has to come up."

50 TD passes? 10+ wins? Should be a hell of a season.

[Masspartan]

I don't think it's a big deal ... he's only gotta throw 29 this year to get to 50.

[Daytona John]

I don't think it's a big deal ... he's only gotta throw 29 this year to get to 50.
