Houshmandzadeh was at mandatory minicamp this past week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">As fans have come to expect, Houshmandzadeh was seen around second-year wideout Jermaine Burton, a guy he\u2019s been closely involved with since before last year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">What\u2019s interesting here, though, is the\u00a0<em>why<\/em>\u00a0behind Houshmandzadeh\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">According to\u00a0Geoff Hobson\u00a0of\u00a0Bengals.com, Houshmandzadeh was merely passing through as he goes about important NFL work:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHoushmandzadeh was in town because the NFL sent him to talk to the club about the dos and don&#8217;ts of gambling. He&#8217;s headed to Chicago with the same message for the\u00a0Bears\u00a0Wednesday. That message is also vintage Housh-blunt: \u2018If you think you can get away with it and be sneaky, your butt is going to get caught.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It\u2019s a cool little detail about a modern Bengals great who continues to be around the team and the game as a whole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">As for his guy,\u00a0Burton has a new haircut, vibe and reviews from teammates\u00a0as he gets going on his sophomore year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>usatoday.com wants to ensure the best experience for all of our readers, so we built our site to take advantage of the latest technology, making it faster and easier to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING : Why T.J.
