Donte Hitner

[Mr. Miyagi]

No it's not a typo. Whitner has legally changed his name to Donte Hitner.

Hail Hitner?

[DBrown77]

Does he need attention that much?

[OLDSRIP]

Why don't he replace the W with a S?

[coastal]

Lol.

wow.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Usually he costs his team the W, now he cost himself one.

[stuckincincy]

He Hate Me. World B. Free. Jose Uribe. I can't think of any hockey player that changed his name.

[more cowbell]

I am friends with people from the Bay Area who are die hard 49er fans....they absolutely despise this guy just like we did.

[trapezeus]

maybe the bills will do a sabres thing and trade byrd to get whitner back.

whitner is so useless. he's the ugly girl who is somehow connected to the hot girl clique and as a result thinks she's attractive now. Just because they went to the superbowl doesn't mean he can cover a tightend of slot receiver any better than before.

[Pinkerton Security]

God he sucks at life. It makes me mad that he obviously thinks hes really good, because hes on one of the best defenses in the NFL...most anything he does is a product of the rest of the defense.

[bleve]

Why don't he replace the W with a S?

Or....

replace the "t" with an "f"?

[trapezeus]

his best hits have been illegal shots. and the strongest memory i have of whitner being a big hitter was when he ran into the PAtriots running back and dislocated his shoulder from being sat down.

If he was a quiet guy and just went about his business, i'd say he's a middle of the pack player. but he's so sure of himself when he has no reason to be. he is the dick jauron of safeties. keeps getting exposed for the same things, says he'll make changes and then repeats.

[OpIv37]

I've never disliked a current or former Bills player as much as I dislike this guy.

I bet his Mom and Dad are very proud. Forsaking his surname to make a splash in the media. I bet his name now strikes fear in the hearts of WRs and RBs. The latest report is that Marshawn Lynch has gone into hiding.

[Historian]

He should just add 'Dim' to his regular name...

[stuckincincy]

I recall all the chest puffing going on when he hit the diving diva, Chad Johnson. That was then, this is now... :band:

[feldspar]

Or....

replace the "t" with an "f"?

Or...

replace the "Hitner" with an "Asshat."

[TacklingDummy]

Looks like Donte Hitler.

[Meathead]

No it's not a typo. Whitner has legally changed his name to Donte Hitner.

Hail Hitner?

dont they teach history in mongolia?

heil hitler

[Meathead]

and see if you had made that joke correctly we never would have gotten this:


Looks like Donte Hitler.

[Meathead]

lol i never understood all the whitner hate but these are some good jokes in here. poor guy

[BidsJr]

I've never disliked a current or former Bills player as much as I dislike this guy.

THAT is saying something.

[justasportsfan]

he should just change his first name to Auntie instead since he hits like one.

[Crisis]

He's literally Hitner.

[pmoon6]

he is the dick jauron of safeties. Actually, Dick Jauron was a decent safety. He had 25 picks in 8 years of playing and was a good punt returner. Whitner has 9 picks in the same amount of time.

[DynaPaul]

Wow, what a dumbass. I'm glad he's no longer a Bill.

[Joe Fo Sho]

Or....

replace the "t" with an "f"?

Just removing the T all together would seem pretty accurate.

[Meathead]

another nice one. will we ever run out of zingers for this guy lol

[feldspar]

Donte Quitner.

[BuffaloRedleg]

This is the kind of stupidity that makes life worth living. I love it, I wish more people would be as ridiculous as this. Who is not enjoying themselves laughing at him?

[Mr. Miyagi]

Donte Quitner.
I like this one the most so far!

[sudzy]

I remember Donte Hitner the deck

[MikeInRoch]

Coach Sal just pointed out that since he plays safety, He'll be in the program as "S Hitner". Awesome.

[YardRat]

LOL...what a douche.

[G Wolly]

Hope he enjoys his new stupid name along with that Bills tattoo he got on his arm

16647

[Buffalogic]

He should have changed it to Donte Zeme'Bro.

[pmoon6]

I understand that Donte changed his name because he was butthurt for getting fined for a cheap shot. Kinda like the attitude, but Harbaugh left his team and himself open for scrutiny when he said "We're the '49ers, we can do anything we want". No wonder Jim Kelly punched him in the beak.

The old adage "It's better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than open it and remove all doubt", certainly applies here.

[Homegrown]

per ESPN ...
The name change will not be cheap for Whitner. A league official told ESPN's Darren Rovell that NFL rules stipulate that if a player changes his name during an NFL season, he is required to purchase all the remaining inventory of merchandise with the old name that hasn't been sold... lol

l
He can afford $85.

[psubills62]

I watched the 49ers play recently. Saw a bad pass literally bounce off of Whitner's chest into the receiver's arms for a big first down. Whitner at least managed to then slow the receiver down as he was dragged the next 5 yards.

The more things change...

[Don't Panic]

Usually he costs his team the W, now he cost himself one.

This has to be a nominee for post of the year.

[Scumbag College]

I just got my credit card....I want to be the first (and only) one in town to get my SF "Hitner" jersey. He is the Kenny Powers of football.

[Oaf]

Should have been Dropner, or Twittner perhaps?

[OpIv37]

lol i never understood all the whitner hate but these are some good jokes in here. poor guy

The guy consistently underperformed on the field, but that didn't stop him from talking all kinds of trash. He never lived up to his draft status and got into trouble off the field as well.

And to make it even more irritating, the Donte Whitner Anti-Defamation League had to defend everything he did wrong on this site. They even defended him when he got burned for a touchdown then took a personal foul for hitting the guy 8 yards deep in the endzone.

[Thurmal]

Ironically, that was one of his best plays as a Bill! If I remember correctly, he hit a Raider who was taunting him, and it pumped the team up and sparked an unlikely comeback.

Other than that though, he was underwhelming at best. Watching the SB last year, it was pretty obvious that he hadn't improved much either. He's always come off as a really insecure guy -- all of his Twitter nonsense and now changing his name to "Hitner" when he is an average player...

[OpIv37]

And let's not forget the patented Whitner too little too late flying back tackle after someone else had already made the play.
