Speaking of my Steelers, Santonio Holmes will likely be suspended for 4 games.....

Substance abuse violation. As with most cases where 'regular ninjas' think that the authorities don't speak 'code words', that 'wake and bake' thing sounds like it might have got him some attention. There has been no OFFICIAL WORD as to whether he failed a test but the simple ass tweet SURELY could not have helped.

It is okay though. Can you say Mike Wallace? Oh and don't forget, we will STILL probably draft a receiver anyway in addition to some of the other vets we have in camp. (Randle El).

Now for the bad news for the Steelers;

Receiver Santonio Holmes is facing a four-game suspension under the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. Whether he tested positive for a prohibited substance or missed a required test is unknown at this time. But he has committed a violation of the NFL policy.


Under the NFL substance-abuse policy, a four-game suspension is instituted after a player commits multiple violations. The fact that Holmes is facing a four-game suspension means that he has previously committed violations.

Holmes has had a history with marijuana as he was cited for marijuana possession in 2008. The Steelers suspended him for one game with pay for that offense. However, Holmes posted a Twitter a message recently stating that he was going to "wake n bake," which is slang for getting high on marijuana after getting out of bed.

Holmes was also recently been accused of throwing a drink in the face of a woman at an Orlando nightclub after she would not give up her spot on a couch. The alleged victim has sued Holmes and pursued criminal liability. The suspension Holmes faces was not due to this incident, although it could cause a separate suspension as well.
