I’m about as diehard a Steelers fan as they get, but I am sick and tired of this crap:
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger isn’t the only member of the Steelers currently facing challenges via the legal system.
Receiver Santonio Holmes, the MVP of Super Bowl XLIII, faces a civil lawsuit for assault and battery.
According to CourtHouseNew.com, the suit was filed on March 24, 2010 for an incident occurring only two weeks earlier in Orlando.
The civil complaint contends that Holmes confronted plaintiff Anshonoe Mills after she refused to leave the arm of a couch in the VIP area of the Rain nightclub. Holmes allegedly “put his hand” in Mills’ face while attempting to remove her from the couch. Holmes then allegedly “threw his entire glass cup of liquor” at Mills’ face, allegedly causing a laceration below her eyebrow and “blinding her temporarily.”
If this keeps up, we might need to change our name to the Ravens. Pretty clearly, from the shaky performance on the field last year and the abysmal performance off the field this year, the team leadership is lacking. I’m not sure what Tomlin needs to do, but he better get these guys in line or his promising career is going to go down the tubes.
