Published February 2, 2009 Santonio and Steelers' Success Salt in the Wound in 2008I loathe the Pittsburgh Steelers. So I guess it's no big secret who I was pulling for in the Super Bowl. And of course, they emerged victorious Sunday night. But everything always seems to work out for them. Penalties on the other team, ball bouncing the right way, just enough time to get the ball off, etc. Then there's the MVP: Santonio Holmes. Him winning was not an upside for me. I wrote off Holmes the minute he was drafted by Pittsburgh. Despite my Buckeye allegiance, I was never a big Santonio fan. He always struck me as a guy who was playing for that future paycheck, and he backed up my sentiments when he left school early because he "had mouths to feed". Now he's a salary employee of the Steelers. And what's up with his touchdown celebration impersonating LeBron James? Let's leave that to the King. Furthermore when did using the ball in your celebration not lead to a 15-yard penalty? Didn't someone just mention something about things magically working out for the Steelers quite a bit? Regardless this Super Bowl was the culmination of what the 2008 NFL season was for every Browns fan: A huge disappointment out of our beloved Browns, and an obnoxiously successful campaign for our arch rivals. But while Kurt Warner couldn't lead the Cardinals to the Super Bowl victory for us, hey, at least he did lead my fantasy football team to a second place finish in my league. I guess in the end, he came up short for me twice this year.

I hate the Steelers too, but the success they have year after year is ridiculous. I guess at some point even their enemies have to start giving them props. What really sucks is to think that Big Ben is going to be continuing to pull out victories like that for them for another 10 years or so. And to think the Browns could have had him instead of Winslow!
