You may remember that earlier this season Santonio Holmes was busted for marijuana possession. To his credit, Santonio took full responsibility and came forward during Super Bowl week with a very candid account about his childhood in Florida and the year he spent dealing drugs. He said that he wanted to use his story as an example of what kids who look up to him should not do.

Well, Santonio Holmes will have an even grander stage to be a role model and a positive influence now, as he has forever etched his name among Super Bowl immortals with an amazing 9 rec, 131 yard, 1 TD performance on the way to the MVP award of Super Bowl 43.

And no catch was bigger than the one you can watch below, which effectively clinched the sixth Super Bowl title for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the MVP award for Holmes. (Special thanks to the great Robert Littal over at Black Sports Online for the video.)

Congratulations to Santonio Holmes, who became the sixth WR ever to be named Super Bowl MVP, joining teammate Hines Ward. Holmes certainly proved his resiliency by making the superb catch above one play after letting another game-clincher slip through his outstretched fingers.

As a Browns fan, it’s never pleasant watching the Steelers win the Super Bowl. But I have to tip my hat to Santonio Holmes, Mike Tomlin, Ben Roethlisberger, James Harrison, and the entire Steelers team. They had the toughest schedule in the NFL and fought off a very determined Arizona Cardinals team tonight. The Steelers earned it, and and can now lay claim to six Super Bowl titles, more than any other franchise in NFL history.

Although it was not the car police were looking for, they did find what appeared to be three large blunts (also know as “marijuana-filled cigars”) in Holmes’ vehicle.

A Steelers spokesman said that the team was still looking into the matter before they make a comment.

If Santonio Holmes is lucky enough to be suspended for the Steelers next game against the Giants, he will notsantonio holmes weed have to suffer through the embarrassment that the rest of his teammates will endure when the New York Football Giants make them look like a high school team on Sunday. In addition, Steelers “fans” will have an additional excuse as to why they didn’t fare as well as Cleveland did against the exact same team.

In the end, this blogger expects Sunday’s game to be a blowout, with or without Santonio Holmes, who incidentally attended THE Ohio State University.

Prediction:

Giants 34 – Pittsburgh 10
