Jon Kitna on His Return From a Concussion: 'It Was a Miracle' - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

When Jon Kitna left yesterday's game with a concussion, it appeared as if his day was over. But then God intervened:

"Whether or not what we experienced was an According to Hoyle miracle is insignificant. What is significant is that I felt the touch of God. God got involved."
...
"We should be f****** dead now, my friend! We just witnessed a miracle, and I want you to f****** acknowledge it!"

Oops, those were actually quotes from Pulp Fiction; it's easy to confuse Kitna with Sam Jackson. Here's what he really had to say.

"I've never felt anything like that, and for it to clear up and go right back to as normal as I can be, is nothing short of a miracle," Kitna said. "I just definitely feel the hand of God. That's all it was. You can't explain it.

"I have no headaches, no symptoms, no lingering effects. But that was the worst my head has ever felt, and the worse my memory was in the second quarter. Yet, after halftime there was nothing."

As someone skeptical of religion, I cannot personally attest to the presence of miracles (though one time, Burger King gave me 10 chicken fries when I only ordered nine, which was pretty sweet). Still, I'm not one to hate on someone's faith, and if Kitna truly believes that God swooped down and cleared his skull, more power to him.

But I can't help but wonder if God, in whatever incarnation you believe in, has more important things to worry about than Jon Kitna's concussion. I mean, did you see Britney Spears' VMA performance?
