Houshmandzadeh decision to come Monday?
March 1st, 2009 – 5:09 PM by Judd ZulgadEarlier today the agent for T.J. Houshmandzadeh said the wide receiver would have a decision about which team he was going to play for by tonight. However, the Cincinnati Bengals website states that might not be the case. In an item that was pointed out in the comments section of the last blog (thank you very much), Bengals.com reports that there were indications that Houshmandzadeh might not make the call until Monday morning. Here is the item. We do know that Houshmandzadeh is still in the Twin Cities — for now.

Why the F&*^ would you want to sign with the Bengals???? They’re the joke of the fricking league. Go Vikes!!
I can’t wait like this.
I am not good at waiting
Torgo = Dorko
If I was Mr. Wilf, I would spend as little as possible on FA.
Why should he spend money, when you (the residents of the State of Minnesota) are making is clear to him that you will not support a new stadium.
Mr. Wilf deserve a return on his investment.
“If you build it, they will come” is a fantasy in a baseball movie. It will not work with the political knuckleheads in St. Paul

It looks like the Vikings might have emerged as the front-runners to land T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

After a trip to the Vikings headquarters in Winter Park that lasted more than five hours, Houshmandzadeh and team officials have headed back to Minneapolis.
Earlier in the day, agent Kennard McGuire, said that Houshmandzadeh would make a decision tonight.
Houshmandzadeh’s aim before free agency was to make a decision by the end of the first weekend. He has stayed true to that aim, telling The Enquirer on Saturday that he would decide Sunday evening.
The Bengals have been in discussions with McGuire since Thursday and have an offer on the table.
Houshmandzadeh arrived in Minnesota Saturday night on a plane sent by owner Zygi Wilf to Seattle and had dinner with team officials and coaches at an upscale Minneapolis steakhouse.
The Vikings, along with the Seahawks, are two of four teams that Houshmandzadeh said he would like to play for on Friday. But in an interview on ESPN, the Vikings were the only team that Houshmandzadeh elaborated on why he would like to go there.
“If I can play with Adrian Peterson, can you imagine what I would do getting one-on-one coverage?” Houshmandzadeh said. “I’m going to win 98.6 percent of the time with one-on-one coverage with him in the backfield.”
On Friday, Houshmandzadeh met with Seahawks’ officials, which included a tour of the team’s new headquarters on the shores of Lake Washington in owner Paul Allen’s seaplane.
Houshmandzadeh, who was drafted in the seventh round by the Bengals in 2001, has three straight seasons of 90 or more catches and leads all NFL receivers in most receptions since 2005 (372). He is third in team history in receptions (507), fifth in touchdowns (37) and seventh in yards (5,782).
4eber = I’m a creep. I’m a loser. What the heck am i doing here?
Just sign already!!!!!
Git R Done

Why should he not spend money, when we (the residents of the State of Minnesota) are making is clear to him that we will support a new stadium.
Mr. Wilf does not deserve a return on his investment.

so here we go again VikingJ…. I don’t get you…. it’s like WTF??? Actually it’s kinda making you creepy posting crap like that outta the blue.
Always gotta be one in the crowd….jerk that is….
The uncertain situation at QB is keeping this from being done in favor of the Vikings.
I have to give Zygi credit for trying to land TJ for the Vikings.
Patience.
Pass - not a man of his word - - like 90% of those overpaid big babies.

Schnelker’s Itch,
excellent post.
Touraj and Sage would be a good passing combo. His name in Persian characters is “ﻫﻮﺸﻤﻨﺪﺰﺍﺪﻩ” and it means “son (ﺰﺍﺪﻩ) of wisdom (ﻫﻮﺸﻤﻨﺪ)”.
Sage’s name means “wise one”, so that’s quite a coincidence.
