So Long, Ernie Holmes

What a shame. Steelers defensive tackle Ernie Holmes died in a car accident on the night of January 17th. I'm too young to really remember him as a player, but I've seen plenty of footage on all those great NFL films retrospectives. After all, when a player is on a team that won four Super Bowls, even youngish Stiller fans like me can feel some level of attachment - even if we never saw him play a down. I remember seeing the pictures of him with his hair shaved into an arrow...and I remember him from my football cards. That's enough, right? Rest in peace, Mr. Holmes.
