So Seahawks WR TJ Houshmandzadeh was on Colin Cowherd's ESPN radio show this week talking about a number of things. He talked about knowing the Seahawks playbook, he talked about Michael Vick and he talked about his head coach Jim Mora... but then he dropped a bomb!

Dun Dun DUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN

Mr. Whoseyourmomma told The Herd that he plans on boycotting the 2010 Madden video game. Why, do you ask??? Well... because he feels under ranked and unappreciated.

TJ Houshmazood's ratings on the upcoming game is a 91. A rating that he says is too low. When asked about his reasoning, he had this to say:

"I just looked at the game and they have this wrong and that wrong. And I understand I averaged 10 yards a catch (in 2008), but it's the offense, man, not me."

"I'm not playing Madden no more, until they get my rating right," Houshmandzadeh said. "It might be a little pouting, too. It might be. But, you know, I used to be the best in the world at Madden, so I'm going to miss not playing it. But until they do me right, I'm not playing it no more."

A little pouting?? It's more than that. If this isn't the epitome of pouting, then I dunno what is. I smell a crybaby.


FOXSports.com shows the rankings of 5 players who ranked higher than him.. all who just so happened to have more yards and TDs than him. So to be fair, I think the ratings are pretty accurate.

What I don't understand is, why does a player need a video game to validate what he can do on the field? I think most folks realize his talent level. Seattle, Cincy and Minnesota basically had a tug of war match to get TJ Homeontherange, with Seattle finally luring him in. It's obvious that he was one of the highest profile players in free agency this offseason, so I'm not sure why a video game rating is that important to him.


You don't like the ratings, do something about it. Make 2009 your year to show why you should be ranked higher. Use it as motivation. But don't get mad at the video game. It's just a video game! I'm sure John Madden is crying himself to sleep in a fetal position right now for this devastating news. NOT! His comments reek of bitchassness, and it must stop now! Obama For Change!


For the love of Ray J......Mr. Housemazelli, please sitchoazzdown.

Disclaimer: Yes, I know I fudged his name up numerous times... but if picking on his name is wrong, I don't want to be right!

So I've come to a conclusion, there are too many athletes doing/saying stupid things in the world. It's my job to point it out to you and tell them, "Go sitchoazz down!".


So every week, or when needed, I'll award an NFL'er (old and new) the award.

Usually, one person is eligible for this award, but I think 2 people need to receive it, this time around.

The first award goes to Vince Young.

This past weekend VY was in B-More for Titans teammate Jason Murphy's charity event. Young told local reporters the following:

"I definitely want to get back out there playing ball and picking up where I left off, winning games and having a good time with my teammates and with the fans. At the same time, if them guys don't want me to be in there, it's time for me to make a career change for myself. Because the fact is I'm ready to play ball. If they're not ready for me to play ball, then somebody is."

Ummmm.....okay I'm going to totally ignore the "them guys" line. His Ebonics-laden sentence is another topic for another day. But Young, you haven't played well since your rookie season. And last year you struggled and your team won 10 straight games without you behind center. Are we supposed to forget your mental breakdown when you went missing for hours because you were booed at home????

Forget proving that you can start for the Titans, what you need to do is go out and prove that you can play in the NFL on a consistent basis.

I've always said that I didn't think Young would be a great QB for this league, and certainly not worth the #3 overall pick, when he was selected. He was always overrated to me and his Championship game against USC took him from an early 2nd round pick, straight to the top. But hey, I'm just a blogger and not a GM, what do I know??!!

VY, go sitcho azz down!!!



My second award goes to Falcons OL Quinn Ojinnaka.


Ojinnaka was arrested and released, stemming from a fight with his wife. Ojinnaka's wife confronted him regarding a female friend on Facebook. Ojinnaka allegedly tossed her down the steps and threw her out of the house.

*BIG SIGH*



There are two lessons to be learned here. Lesson one... domestic abuse is NEVER okay. Throwing your wife down the steps and out of the house is very un-cool. If this really did happen, he should get counseling and a fine and/or suspension. Putting your hands on a woman should never happen, no matter how much we get on your nerves and nag you. Cause I know we do, but hey, it's a part of our DNA.

Lesson two... Facebook is the devil. Not sure who the "female friend" was, but if it's your jump off, groupie, homieloverfriend or whoever, then maybe it's not a good idea to have her as your FB friend.. you know... just in case your wife sees it.

Ojinnaka, go sitcho azz down!!!!!
