I'm sick of these holier-than-thou pundits busting on Joe Horn. Who was more unprofessional in that game? What it Horn whipping out the cell phone, or was it the team on the other side of the field, made of of "athletes" making millions of dollars to play football, who were not doing so, and were making a mockery of the sport (yes, the NY GIANTS!!!)? I rest my case.

Quarterback Has Cross To Bear

Associated Press

CINCINNATI -- Bengals quarterback Jon Kitna said Thursday the NFL fined him $5,000 for wearing a baseball-style cap marked with a cross.

In wearing the cap at his postgame news conferences, Kitna violated an NFL rule prohibiting the wearing of non-NFL apparel immediately after a game. Television footage of

Kitna, an avid reader of the Bible, showed him wearing the red cap marked with a white cross.

"That's what happens when you don't follow the rules," Kitna said. "I won't wear it any more. The Bible says submit to the authorities placed above you. The authorities say that's the rule."

Kitna said he plans to appeal the fine because he thought the NFL rule just applied to competitors' products.
