2. I personally found his LeBron-esque celebration to be hilarious and awesome. He just seems like a happy guy. I mean, when you look at him when he is talking to the press, he just seems so casual and cool. And, honestly, a ton of Steelers fans that I know own Santonio #10 jerseys.

Should have been a 15-yarder enforced on the kickoff.

Hilarious? Yes. Awesome? Yes. Penalty? Yes.

There is absolutely no way that a referee would enforce a 15-yard penalty after an incredible catch in the back corner of the endzone for a touchdown with less than a minute remaining with a 3 point (4 point after extra point) difference in the game. That would be calling a penalty that could possibly make a difference in whether or not the game would go one way or another. This isn't holding. This isn't a personal foul. This isn't PI. This is "excessive celebration", if you can even call it excessive due to the fact that it was the game winning touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Hilarious? Yes. Awesome? Yes. Penalty? Only if you care more about playing by the rules than what team is actually better than the other.

They've been enforcing it all year. You use the ball as a prop...it's a penalty, end of story. To not call it on the biggest stage is pretty bad, IMO. It's a black-and-white call, no judgment on scenario is allowed for by the rules.

I won't argue whether it's a ridiculous penalty, because I think it's asinine. :)

Listening to Howard Stern there was a small segment today about Santonio taking nude pictures of himself and someone leaking them to the net. Robin was going on and on about Mr. Winkee in the picture.

Here is a link with a sanitized version:
Steely McDong: Sir, You Seem To Have Dropped Your Terrible Towel

BTW- If your gaydar is pegging right now consider it a false alarm. This is like watching a train wreck and you cannot believe it is actually for real.

When a Super Bowl MVP Doesn't Equal Endorsements
Position, Off-the-Field Problems Likely to Keep Santonio Holmes From Cashing In
By Rich Thomaselli

Published: February 02, 2009

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Super Bowl XLIII Most Valuable Player Santonio Holmes had the kind of game and has the kind of back story found in made-for-TV movies.

What he doesn't have is marketability.

Mr. Holmes caught nine passes for 131 yards and the game-winning touchdown with 35 seconds remaining Sunday to give the Pittsburgh Steelers a dramatic 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl. But his position, wide receiver -- and, more important, his off-the-field problems -- will likely relegate Mr. Holmes to the fate of such players as Deion Branch, Dexter Jackson, Larry Brown, Richard Dent, Desmond Howard and even Mr. Holmes' Pittsburgh teammate Hines Ward.

All were named MVP of the Super Bowl; none were able to cash in on that success with national endorsement deals. Some were from small-market teams, others played low-profile positions and some, like Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Dexter Jackson, were victims of both.

'Nothing doing'
"There's nothing doing with Holmes," said sports-marketing expert Bob Dorfman, exec VP-executive creative director of San Francisco-based agency Baker Street Partners. "He's not terribly charismatic anyway, and then there are his off-the-field issues."
