RIP Ernie Holmes...

Just a quick post to honor one of the original members of the great and powerful Steel Curtain Defense - Ernie Holmes.

I just learned via KDKA's website that Holmes died last night in a car crash.

Never the least controversial Steeler, he is certainly deserving of reverence nonetheless...and as far as I'm concerned, 59 is far too young to exit this life.

Rest in peace Ernie.
