I came to see the talk about Santonio's situation, and junior high broke out.
A thread about a Buckeye who plays for the Steelers is no place for a Browns-Bengals pillow-fight. So that crap is off in the ref locker.

an imbecility, a stupidity without name
Normally yes, but at the same time she contends that the police were in on pressuring her not to press charges. Certainly doesn't reflect well on the police that they didn't file a police report until tuesday, 3 weeks after the altercation.martinss01;1683603; said:

On the Steelers: Holmes could be the one to pay for this offseason of legal dramas
Sunday, April 04, 2010

Santonio Holmes: One soap opera too many?
Whether Santonio Holmes threw that glass or not, his timing in this whole thing was awful. If the cops in Orlando, Fla., do charge him -- and reading the stories, they were going to do so that night/morning until the woman changed her mind -- his playing days with the Steelers could be in jeopardy.
Considering the Ben Roethlisberger Affair(s) and Holmes' inane tweets -- did anyone even pay attention to those before this? -- the Steelers might feel a need to do something to begin reclaiming the public's respect.
Holmes also had a few interesting things to say in regard to Ben Roethlisberger's legal woes and what his advice might be to his quarterback's nightlife routine. His comments came several weeks ago on Atlanta sports talk radio, before his own new legal issue came to light. The show is called "Mayhem in the AM on 790 The Zone.''
Q: On if he's had a chance to talk to Ben Roethlisberger since the news of his alleged assault broke last Thursday night:
Holmes: "I haven't. On my Twitter page, people have been hitting me up, telling me to tell Ben to stay out of nightclubs and keep him this, this and that. I'm like he's a grown man, he's entitled to do whatever he wants to do. Unfortunately, the incident came about. Hopefully, it will get resolved and we can get on with our season."
Q: On the commonly held belief that athletes like Big Ben shouldn't put themselves in potentially compromising situations by going out to clubs and bars:
Holmes: "You say that now, but when you're out having fun, you're just having fun. Like I said, you're entitled to go wherever you want to go. You're not expecting those things to happen; you're going to have fun and enjoy yourself. And when these things occur, how do you defend yourself?"
And about that Twitter page he mentioned, shouldn't someone -- an agent, a friend, Mike Tomlin -- take away his key to it?

A lot of conjecture about Holmes' 'potential' wrongdoing before the investigation is able to come up with the facts. This seems like an unfortunate, but commonplace, night-club or bar incident. Only because Holmes is an NFL player coming hot off of Roethlisberger's incident is this even a lawsuit from Mills. Beginning to look like Holmes' lawyer is going to have an easy time with this one, too bad his name gets muddy.
