Yesterday’s Waddle and Silvy interview of T.J. Houshmandzadeh was a treasure-trove of ridiculousness. From his inability to really say anything about his interest in the Bears, except that he was interested in everyone, to his quote that he “likes Rex Grossman” — it’s all good stuff. Can’t really get the old noggin around that last one, but yeah. Good stuff.

Despite all that, the following by far took the best-quote-of-the-day prize. If we can expect more of this with Housh in a Bears uniform, I’m all for it:

On whether or not it matters to him if he is signed right away once the free agency period begins at the end of this month:

For a moment I’m going to ignore how insanely sexist that quote is. (Not all women need to be wined and dined, T.J., and hey, what’s wrong with wining and dining a male? This is 2009, man! Break down those gender barriers and be free!) Instead, let’s treat this with a clinical eye. Ladies and not-ladies, I give you … the T.J. Houshmandzadeh Venn Diagram:

See? Totally not a woman. That simple, really.
