Bravo Santonio Holmes

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet but apparently Steelers wideout Santonio Holmes was found by police smoking blunts in his SUV yesterday. I find this particularly hilarious not only thinking of all of the times i've been in this same situation (mainly in high school, i like to think i'm beyond that at this point) but not only because rolling around blazing has to be thought of mainly as a high school practice. Wouldn't you think that someone who is undoubtedly as rich as Holmes, and also an adult unfettered by such threats as being discovered by his parents, would be able to find a better place to smoke. I mean, c'mon man, I'm all for smoking some blunts with ones homies, but why would you put yourself in such unnecessary risk. At this point the NFL is coming close to surpassing the NBA as the most thuggish profesional sports league, idiots such as Holmes, Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, etc. give the entire league a bad name, and it's sad to see such a great sport be cast in such a negative light. Lets hope that someday these guys can learn to not be such idiots.
