So by now you’ve probably heard that Jon Kitna, the 41-year-old ex-Seahawk who is now a math teacher and football coach at Tacoma’s Lincoln High School, signed with the Dallas Cowboys this week?
Well here’s a cool follow-up to that from the Dallas Morning News, which reports that Kitna will donate his game check from this week to his school. That’s far from a token gesture from Kitna. As a veteran with 15-years of experience, Kitna’s weekly pay, even on a veteran-minimum contract, works out roughly to a $53,000 game check for one week’s worth.
If Kitna somehow ends up getting into Sunday’s game against the Eagles, Dennis Quiad better be ready to shave his head for the upcoming Disney movie.
