Holmes thank you letter to Steeler fans

[SteelAbility]

I'm not usually a grammar police officer but this made me cringe....

I would like to sincerely thank all of my fans for making my four years as a Steeler a memorable one.

... and verbose too. Could have just ended with "memorable."

Should have kept it short and sweet:

"Thank you fans of Pittsburgh. I love you guys, but I love weed more"

"Thank you fans of Pittsburgh. I love you guys, but I love weed more"

He should do a take-off on the T.O. "I love me some me!" bit, changing it to "I love me some weed!"

Anybody else find it odd that everybody that commented had only nice things to say?

Did anyone else notice that someone is trying to spoil our fun? :P

No, the one person called him an idiot for posting 4:20...which I do agree with

Another comment:

Good riddance. The Steelers showed faith in you by making you a first round pick, and you repaid that with asinine antics over the years. Bragging about “waking and baking” and telling fans to go kill themselves tells us all we need to know about you. I’m glad I’ll never have to root for you again.

the Steelers gave Sanstonio away for a 5th rounder because they truly understood that he just doesn't get it and probably never will.

and thank you too for the memories Stonio!



Thank You Steelers Fans for the Great Memories

Thu, April 22nd, 2010 by Santonio Holmes

As one chapter of my life comes to a close, another chapter is just beginning. I would like to sincerely thank all of my fans for making my four years as a Steeler a memorable one. This is the team where I won my first Super Bowl ring, received the Super Bowl XLIII MVP and also won my first ESPY award. How can I move forward and not take those feelings and experiences with me. Those are the ones that left such a great taste in my mouth and wanting to strive for more. The support and encouragement you have given me from day one has been such an inspiration that I will continue to carry with me.

I have made some mistakes in my past that I am not proud of, but the most important thing is that I have learned from them. God has given me the opportunity to make a clean start and I am really excited about moving forward in a positive direction.

To all of my New York Jets fans, thank you for welcoming me with open arms. The 2010 season is going to be a great one. I know the reason Mike Tannenbaum, Coach Ryan and Mr. Johnson brought me to this team is to help win a Super Bowl and I plan on helping them accomplish that goal.

Thank you again for all your support and encouragement.

God Bless,

Santonio Holmes – New York Jets Wide Receiver
