Who knew T.J. Houshmandzadeh was Iranian? Somehow that information escaped me.
Anyway, he might get himself released from Gitmo now that President Obama is closing it down. A tale of courage in a dark time:
Over the next week Houshmandzadeh was interrogated at least twice daily, with the exception of one 24-hour period—he believes it was Saturday, although sleep deprivation and frequent electrical shocks made it difficult for him to determine the passage of time—spent in the facility's infirmary. On Sunday the questioning sessions began again, culminating in interrogators informing him that his team had beaten the Kansas City Chiefs 16-6 and subjecting Houshmandzadeh to a "celebratory" Gatoradeboarding.
Other NFL players, however, may never see the light of day:
"I'm one of the lucky ones," Houshmandzadeh said softly. "Muhsin Muhammad was rushed to the infirmary last week and he still hasn't been back. Rashaan Salaam hasn't been heard from in years.
Let's hope he's back on the field next year, taking bombs deep into defensive settlements with explosive speed.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen Kareem Abdul-Jabaar in a while...
They've got him hanging from what they affectionately call their "sky hook."
