Pittsburgh prosecutors have dropped a misdemeanor drug charge against Steelers wide receiver and Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes.

Allegheny County Assistant District Attorney Rachel Newman announced the decision at a court hearing Wednesday.

Pittsburgh police say they found three marijuana-filled cigars -- or blunts -- in Holmes' car when he was pulled over on Oct. 23. They pulled Holmes over because they were looking for a car similar to the one he was driving. Holmes alerted police to the drugs.

Holmes' attorney argued the traffic stop violated the football star's rights because the search warrant wasn't specific enough. Prosecutors agreed.

Asked if he was happy with the outcome, Holmes said: "I'm all right."

Hey Tone, It ain't "all right". You are a critical part of this team and you are risking a lot for a cheap high. Knock it off.

Hopefully he learned his lesson, this time. This guy has had several run-ins with the law but doesn't seem to mature or grow from them. He also turned my stomach when he continually praised himself in interviews after the super bowl. Instead of being humble he took every opportunity to blow his own horn. I just hope this guy can be as good off the field as he is on the field.

BTW, Holmes said "I'm all right" which meant to me that while he's happy with the decision he's not happy with his own decisions from that day. But let's place blame where blame is due. The PPD dropped the ball on this.
