One Jet Thinks Stevie Johnson's "Airplane" TD Celebration Was A 9/11 Reference

Barry Petchesky — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:25:00 EST

You thought Bob Costas was stupid? You clearly didn't know how stupid human beings could get when discussing end zone celebrations. That apotheosis belongs to Jets tackle Sione Pouha, who's convinced that Stevie Johnson was out to mock the death of thousands. More »

Santonio Holmes Gets Vocal About A Pass Interference No-Call

Timothy Burke — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 23:31:41 EST

As far as incidental broadcasts of sports profanity go, this is pretty tame (the only less-offensive being your Bobby Knight "chickenshit") but Santonio Holmes' complaint about the no-call on this pass in the second half of the Patriots-Jets SNF matchup is still amusing—especially the belated attempt by an NBC audio mixer to mute him out.

Holmes was removed from an airplane in Pittsburgh last night for refusing to turn off his iPod upon landing. It doesn't bode well when your new acquisition doesn't wait until his suspension begins to get in trouble again. [WPXI] More »

AFC Title Game May Come Down To Another Controversial Touchdown

Josh Zerkle — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 12:05:17 EST

A lot's being made of whether the Pittsburgh Steelers could beat any team three times in a season, let alone the Baltimore Ravens. Most of you will remember the controversial Santonio Holmes touchdown that pushed the Steelers past Baltimore in that Week 15 showdown. The goaline catch was originally ruled short of the endzone, but was then ruled a touchdown after a Mike Tomlin challenge, despite the "indisputable visual evidence" needed to change the call. The NFL explained that ruling...sort of. More »

Pittsburgh Police Praise Santonio Holmes' Performance During Drug Bust

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:40:38 EDT

Some people might say it's foolish to smoke pot in your car, especially when you're driving it around with expired plates, but in Pittsburgh it's not what you do, it's how you react after being confronted with your misdeeds that matters. It seems that Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes made the unfortunate boo-boo of getting pulled over in an SUV filled with the smell of burnt marijuana, but he was so polite and well-mannered during his traffic stop that the cops aren't really going to hold that other stuff against him.

Sir, You Seem To Have Dropped Your Terrible Towel

DAULERIO — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:20:00 EDT

For those of you out there whose Mondays feel incomplete without a naked picture of a Pittsburgh Steeler, your day is about to pick up a bit. First, it was kicker Jeff Reed, snapping a picture of his freshly shorn pubis region then having it hit the web. Now, wide receiver Santonio Holmes has allegedly been snapped without his uniform (or anything else on), while standing with his arms seductively raised in an unidentifiable shower, which is most likely not Heinz Field. (Extremely NSFW photo after the jump. Unless, of course, your job is to search for photos of black penises all day. Those people might get a raise. ) More »

Santonio Holmes Already Becoming A Fine Replacement For Plaxico Burress

mjdeadspin — Sun, 28 May 2006 16:42:30 EDT

Former Ohio State receiver and Pittsburgh Steelers #1 draft pick Santonio Holmes was arrested in South Beach early Saturday morning, and unfortunately, it was not for masturbating in a public library. He's charged with disorderly conduct, and police say that he disrupted traffic and was verbally abusive to a police officer at 3:30 in the morning. He was released from jail after signing a promisory note. Here are two different sides of the story, from the Columbus Dispatch: More »
