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!
Two thing. A. I agree. B. You would be telling me to sit my ass too. 'Cause I would complain. lmao. I can't front. I play MADDEN all the time. It makes me mad that they have my team rated the way they do EVEN AFTER THEY WON THE CHIP. Guarantee we (the Steelers) won't be the top rated team on the game. Again. Just like in 06'. EA needs to get their ratings together. lol
That said SINCE I AM NOT A PLAYER, I will agree. Sitchoassdown TJ!!!
