School's Out For Kitna

Tim Tebow must have wondered if he would get a call from the Dallas Cowboys after QB Tony Romo was lost for the season with a herniated disc in his back.

The Cowboys went for "street" players and brought in David Carr, Tyler Thigpen, John Skelton and Caleb Hanie for a tryout to backup Kyle Orton

With their season on the line, they signed 41 year old John Kitna who has prior experience with them. The only problem is that Kitna has not played since the end of the 2011 season. He is a high school teacher and football coach at Lincoln HS in his hometown of Tacoma, Washington.

Kitna has taken some snaps as the opponent quarterback for his high school team, but that is far away from the NFL. He started 124 games with stops in Seattle, Cincinnati, Detroit and  Dallas. He will only play in a dire situation.

If the Cowboys make the playoffs, his school will need to hire a substitute teacher for at least a week. It won't be longer because I don't see the Cowboys going far.
