At least it wasn't a truckful, a la Bam Morris

We'll occasionally be veering away from political topics, to touch on equally important matters like the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In that vein, there's confirmation that wide receiver Santonio Holmes will be benched this week after his citation for having a couple of Mary-Ja-Wanna cigars in his ride yesterday.

Granted, so far in 2008 Nate Washington is the new Santonio. He's been the deep threat, and Mr. Holmes hasn't gotten things rolling.

But facing the Giants, I'd clearly prefer to have all the weapons in the arsenal at our disposal.
