Detroit might be rock city, but it’s another NFC North team that is extending the Kiss tour.
According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears have filled out their roster by signing wide receiver A.J. Cruz.
That might not have ordinarily been worth more than a line in the transaction agate, but he once played for Florio’s favorite Arena League team — the L.A. Kiss.
He was actually with the Arizona Rattlers this season, but once a member of the Kiss Army, always a member of the Kiss Army. The 5-foot-9, 195-pound Cruz was an all-Ivy League player at Brown, a slightly more prestigious academic institution than Gene Simmons Rock School.
