Santonio Holmes invites fan to commit suicide, Twitter style

no doubt.. what do you figure from 14-22 year olds that somewhat know their destiny?

I mean I understand a heavy study on athletics, but I played multiple sports through high school.. the wonderlic is probably ranked below a high school level.. and these kids get scores on them that wouldn't beat jeff foxworthy in the are you smarter than a 5th grader show...

I think that brains should play a lot into selection, not to jump a full round... but coachable/learnable has to play somewhat hand in hand

maybe i'll learn how to spell...

Exactly! I made that same comment to a co-worker earlier today.

WHOA!!!!! You two are so in tune with each other!!!!!!!

Are both of you wearing purple slacks today?????? I BET YOU ARE!!!!!!!

I also heard reports that Holmes was being investigated for ASSAULT (not online "assault") yesterday also.

The Steelers are beginning to look like Dallas or Cincinnati. Too bad Joey Porter didn't return to them, they seem to make a good fit.

I in no way condone what he did, but fans can be pretty damn viscious. Especially in a forum where they can voice their own hate soaked opinion to the athlete, and are pretty much promised that he/she will see it. As of now, the guy was alleged of doing this, doesn't mean he did it (Think Duke LAX team), and fans are reacting to the information as if it was rock solid proof. Again, I do not condone what he said in any way, but I'm pretty sure that he is just retaliating to something said to him that was pretty flammatory.

Then he should know better than to have a twitter account, which gives anyone on earth with an internet connection a forum to say whatever the hell they want to you. We all love NFL football, but we also have to realize that most of the guys we're fans of are pretty unintelligent.

Looks like the steelers are becoming the 90's cowboys lol ..

what he said was dumb, especially given the climate he is in right now. but what he said, i assume is common twitter talk. idk i dont have twitter but it seems like "go kill yourself" or "walk into oncoming traffic" is just a phrase made in jest.

but players should know better. interacting with fans goes both ways and santonio cant have just the fame of a public sports figure and not the inspection or scrutiny that comes with it.

the comment that got me, or atleaast let me into santonio thinking is the "you dont pay me" part to a fan. really ahole, the rooneys are going to pay you if no one goes to a game or doesnt watch on tv?

players like this need to realize the NFL is for the fans. we pay the owners, players, trainers, private jets, stadium personnel, the poeple who pour our beers. all that we ask is that you appreciate your privileged status by showing up on time, working your butt off and dont do anything to piss off the fans. like telling us we cant critize you on your twitter account after yet another alleged incident b/c we what? we dont pay your salary? that aint going to go over well in the rooney family or in the burg.

GMSCUD - yeah, lets face it. these guys who constantly get in trouble are young and dumb and cant handle the responsibility of being rich or representative of a franchise.

Then he should know better than to have a twitter account, which gives anyone on earth with an internet connection a forum to say whatever the hell they want to you. We all love NFL football, but we also have to realize that most of the guys we're fans of are pretty unintelligent.

yep.. and as easy as saying kill yourself is, it's easier not to reply

What a winner
