  Hey Santonio!
  
  Awesome game on Sunday! Just caught your interview on ESPN and found your blog. Great interview by the way.
  
  Just wanted to see if you happen to remember me... I met you at Charlie Batch's toy drive in December and I gave you a really awesome print in your OSU uniform! Don't forget about me! See you Sunday! Good Luck!!!

      I appreciate that dawg. Do us all a favor and shut dem loud mouth Ravens up once and for all. Make them pay for saying they were rooting for the Steelers to win... Yeah right. We know the real deal.. All I can say is be careful what you wish for you just might get it.

  Given the fact that I am a displaced Steelers fan who resides in Wisconsin, I rarely get the opportunity to read the local publications. After reading the article, "TribLive Sports Article: "Holmes Stars in reduced role", I can see that I am not missing much. Opinions are like noses; everyone has one and is generally looking down it at everyone else. To promulgate that your role is reduced without motioning the double coverage you receive or the fact that the Steelers modus operandi is to run the football is to failing to provide readers with insight and substantiation. Please do not allow the media to dictate your worth to the team. Without you, the Steelers would not be where they are right now. Keep doing your thing and let them do whatever service they think they are providing by writing nonsense. Good luck this weekend and make those idiots eat their words!

Marcus Clayton is my boy form the Boomer Sooner State and Baltimore Ravens, but yet, I want to see you do your thing too. what to do what to do!! well, good luck against them bad boys. And Really T.O. is my friend too so with the past experience of the media i don't read the gossip they produce.

  It is my first time commenting on your blog, Santonio. It was also my first time this season that I pulled out my original terrible towel from the 1970's this season down here in your home State of Florida. Very few people have 1 of these original terrible towels anymore. It is a brownish gold color with all black lettering in small letters. I will never forget when I showed Lavon Kirkland at an autograph signing when the Super Bowl was in Tampa 8 years ago. Lavon had never seen 1 of these original terrible towels and he loved it. I got a picture of him with it and a picture with me and him with it. When you had the PR for a TD, I was waiving that original terrible towel like crazy from my livingroom In Lakeland, FL. Of course, I would love to see you guys play 34 miles to the West on Feb 1 at Ray Jay with the Pittsburgh Pirate Buccaneer ship at Ray Jay Stadium on this day waiving terrible towels. I know that if you guys stay humble this week and do things the right way going into this Sunday's game, then you guys got a good chance to win the game. I have watched Steeler's football long enough to know that the bottom line is that the Pittsburgh Steelers win games and championships by running the ball and playing great defense. Just think Santonio, if you guys get Willie and that running game going against that great Ravens defense, then that passing game can open up for you to have big plays down the field and some TD catches.
  I do not read the newspaper much anymore and really do not like to read sports reporters articles. Most newspapers and sports articles are garbage written by idiots these days. There has not been a good newspaper in Pittsburgh since the days of the Pittsburgh Press. I grew up in the North Hills of Pittsburgh delivering the Pittsburgh Press newspaper for many years. I now have a neurologial condition called dystonia an do not go out very much. Hopefully, I will be feeling well enough to attend some Super Bowl festivities in Tampa and hopefully you guys will be there representing the BURRRRRRRGH!!!! Take care and God Bless!!!!
