The Facts:
Having already made waves by saying the Lions will win 10 games this year, Kitna 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. ..."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Kitna was quick to add: "We know that's an awful lofty goal. ..." True that. The NFL record, held by Peyton Manning, is 49; Kitna's career high is 26, set in 2003. ... While he was obviously joking (and not really high as the headline implies), we'll suggest that humor usually has some basis in truth. And even though there's no way Kitna throws 50 TDs, it never hurts to aim high.
