So as I walked out of 30 Rock after proclaiming to the Notre Dame halftime audience that neither the Bengals nor the Vikings are interested in receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, I started to get e-mails from readers regarding a report from FOX 6 in Wisconsin, which cited a source who said that Houshmandzadeh had joined the Vikings.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, it hasn’t happened.
The source didn’t say that it would never happen, but it hasn’t happened yet.
Houshmandzadeh was a hot commodity in March 2009, generating big-money offers from the Vikings, Seahawks, and Bengals. But the football-watching world quickly learned that T.J. loves him some him — and that he loves to talk about how much he wants the ball.
Not coincidentally, the market for his services has gone dry.
