I don’t really see the significance of the MVP part. Larry Brown was a Super Bowl MVP who shortly thereafter wound up without a team. David Tyree may not have been the MVP but he was the hero of XLII–where is he now? Holmes was just one of three players on the field that night who all had good claims on being MVP. And if his Lebron James improv had been seen by the refs, he could have just as easily wound up being the goat of that game. If I’d had to vote for the MVP that night, it would have been Harrison.

so the great period of peace between NBC sports and ESPN will be ushered in by none other than little Mike Florio
Florio plays the Frodo Baggins role, while Schefter is Samwise Gamgee!!

Hey FreeAgentPro:
We are really lucky to have you. Way to point out that the “Latest News and Rumors” category contains “rumors.” What’s next, you’re going to tell us that this site is also about “football.”
You are about as useful as the morons that log onto the site, read the article, and then comment “who cares?”

While at college at UCF, I spoke with a highschool friend of Santonio and claimed that he was very enthusiastic about smoking and selling it.
And I bet you Florio has waked and baked before. And if he hasn’t, you bet your ass junior does.
Florio Jr = Pot Head

Jets fans must be feeling a little bit queasy this morning… every year they and the Redskins contend for the “Best NFL Upgrades on Paper” Award.
Every year they both fall FAR short of the Super Bowl.
Picking up LT and Holmes must have them feeling like this is Groundhog’s Day with the same outcome looming once again. I’m more than happy to give them the award for most improved team on paper – knowing that no games are played on paper.
But overall I don’t think this is a bad trade… they’ve rented a talented player, and a turd of a person, for 12 regular season games in return for a 5th round pick. Given his 4 game suspension, off-field issues and expiring contract I’d say the Steelers did ok.
Although I don’t see Holmes assaulting Jet players the way he did the mother of his children, his “wake and bake” work ethic could have a negative impact in the locker room – but seeing as he’s entering a contract year he’ll probably be well behaved.

Do we know: Is this a result of a failed test, or did his “Wake ‘n’ Bake” comment get him flagged for the behavior part of the rules?

League should schedule Bengals, Browns and Ravens vs. Jets in first 4 weeks; Steelers vs. Jets after that.

“Though the various Pittsburgh television stations and other blogs picked it up…”
“Now, Adam Schefter of ESPN has confirmed the report, and he has expressly given us credit for breaking the news”
Of course it was news that originated from other sources, but PFT “broke it”, and Schefter being less of a tabloid news style reported “fixed it”.

Congrats on breaking the story, Florio.
But, what the hell are you doing busting your ass on a Saturday morning on this story? Your family and friends must think you are a tool. Take a vacation.

FreeAgentPro:
Please go away. If you don’t like a blog about rumors, then why are you reading the rumor mill of PFT?
And why hate on the fact that Florio and Co. broke a story way before ESPN? Isn’t that the point of this blog?
I mean, why are you here? Go read ESPN and Schefter if all you want is supposed fact. And I say supposed, because Schefter and Clayton give their opinions all the time.

I hate Ohio State, but to attempt to ridicule them for only having one Super Bowl MVP is ludicrous. Count how many Super Bowls have been played, then check just how many FBS schools there are, and you will see it is actually a big deal just to have one.
Colleges like Michigan, Stanford, Alabama, Purdue, Miami, Florida State, and Georgia have more than one.

santonio is a joke…that catch didnt change anything

Well, dummy, the reason Adam gave you the credit is that the cause of suspension is still just speculation – so Adam wisely names his source so ppl won’t think he is stating a FACT. PFT is synonomous with RUMOR.

Wake and catch Super Bowl winning TD?
Wake and Bake?
Not a lot of difference between the two. So long Santonio – we hardly knew ye.
And to think – Holmes is STILL the only Super Bowl MVP to hail from Ohio State.

Throw this bum out of the league!
If he couldn’t catch a football he’d be flipping burgers in some grease shack, until he gets fired for a on-the-job incident.

no surprise there, just wonder how soon he will get into trouble again. He is now in one of the worst cities to be a “good boy”

Nice work on breaking this 4 game suspension. Holmes will be suspended for 1 year shortly has he will get caught smoking the wacky weed or in trouble in a New York club!

Jets are trying to become the Bengals of the NFL. Great receivers…..if they stay out of jail.
