On seeing the recent Seinfeld post, I was reminded of an event that happened beforeI was a contributor to this forum. I do not recalthis story having madeit to the forums.....
My beloved Seattle Seahawks were vying for the top Free Agent receiver this off season and a Breitling played a key role:
Excerpt from local print media:
T.J. Houshmandzadeh took his time deciding where he would play next season.
Seahawks coach Jim Mora took Houshmandzadeh's timepiece just before he left Seattle on Saturday to follow through on his plans to visit the Minnesota Vikings before making a decision.
"He had this beautiful watch on," Mora said.
It was a Breitling, glistening with stones that were most certainly not cubic zirconia. Mora said he respected Houshmandzadeh's desire to honor his commitment to travel to the Vikings, but he had one request before the receiver left.
"You need to take that watch off and leave it here as collateral," Mora said.
On Tuesday, Houshmandzadeh was introduced at the Seahawks facility, given jersey No. 18 with his name on the back, and as he sat down to say hello to a new city, that watch was back around his wrist.
"I just got it back about 20 minutes ago," Houshmandzadeh said.
I regret that I have not found photos or other detailson said "diamond encrusted Breitling", if I comeup with any, they will appear here.
