Awesome celebration too.

LeBron-esque.

the dumbasses on SportCenter were debating whether he was pouring ketchup or hot sauce. considering the fact that they show LeBron doing the powder routine about 824568473564 times a day, not to mention it being a feature on a Nike commercial, i figured they'd be able to put two and two together... i should have known better.

but anyway. that was a performance for the ages by Santonio tonight. i couldn't be more proud of him. today was a great day to be a Buckeye. i'm fairly certain that Holmes is the first ever Buckeye to earn the Super Bowl MVP. that's a pretty nice feather in the recruiting cap for Tressel.

Pretty sure they knew the LeBron Reference, they were saying that instead of powder he was pouring out ketchup/Hot Sauce which was referencing Pittsburgh and the H.J. Heinz company

Best catch ever? Oh, give me a Holmes

TAMPA, Fla. -- Greatest catch ever. I'm saying it. And you can't dispute it.

You can't dispute that Pittsburgh receiver Santonio Holmes, given the stakes and the degree of difficulty, just gave us the greatest catch in the history of professional football -- a 6-yard, leaping, tightrope grab in the back corner of the end zone with 35 seconds left to give the Steelers a 27-23 victory Sunday night against Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII.

"Santonio Holmes," said Ward, "really made a name for himself today."

In Tight Spot, Steelers? Holmes Keeps Feet Planted
By JOE LAPOINTE
Published: February 2, 2009

TAMPA, Fla. ? Santonio Holmes looked like a dancer in a ballet, a tightrope walker in a circus, a gymnast on a balance beam.

He was cornered. He caught a pass from Ben Roethlisberger on the back side of the end zone, with three Arizona Cardinals bearing down on him while he balanced on the tips of his toes.

The ball was safely in his hands, but the bigger question concerned his feet. It was hard to tell if they stayed in bounds or even on the ground. Victory in the Super Bowl hung in the balance, and officials high in the stadium reviewed the tape.

But Holmes knew.

?They never left the ground,? he said of his feet. ?All I did was extend my arms and use my toes as an extra extension to catch up to the ball.?

Holmes gets last laugh with MVP performance for Steelers
By Skip Wood, USA TODAY

TAMPA ? Just before both men began their postgame media conferences, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and wide receiver Santonio Holmes couldn't stop jawing at each other.
They shouted, they flailed their arms, and gave the other one a push here and a push there.

No fight this, though.

This was an out-and-out laugh-fest.

A few youngsters clad in Steelers jerseys stood in front of them, and Tomlin noticed something.

"Look at that!" he said, pointing to them. "You've got your 7, you've got your 86, you've got your 43. No 10, though. You left your Santonio at home!"

Holmes just beamed.

Notes: Holmes makes like LeBron after game-winner

TAMPA, Fla. -- Santonio Holmes took the football that won the game, shook it and tossed it in the air. An homage to LeBron James' ceremonial chalk tossing.

Fitting. We were all witnesses Sunday to perhaps the greatest clutch performance ever by a wide receiver. It was James himself who prompted the display from his friend.


"He told me, 'Do the LeBron,' " Holmes said.

Ohio State football: Holmes the Super Bowl's greatest Buckeye

... and Santonio Holmes as a Super Bowl hero

Move over Lynn Swann

Holmes the international superstar

Holmes toes the line

Santonio Holmes is the 19th Ohio State player to play in and win a Super Bowl, the first Buckeye to be named Super Bowl MVP, and, in his third NFL season ... the greatest Super Bowl Buckeye ever.

Before Holmes, 20 other Buckeyes had won a total of 27 Super Bowl rings. Four-time Super Bowl participant and three-time winner Mike Vrabel of the New England Patriots makes a compelling case with his Super Bowl resume.

Several people asked me leading up to this game who I wanted to win. Most of you guys know me, I don't follow the NFL like I do college. My answer to them was "I want Santonio Holmes to win a Superbowl Ring"

The MVP is simply icing on the cake. What a performance by #10.
