It looks like the Spring of the Pittsburgh Steelers discontent will be continuing. Santonio Holmes, whose name hit the news wire earlier this week when he was served a civil suit for an "Incident" at an Orlando, Florida nightclub back on March 7th is still in the news for the same incident.
It seems as though the woman, a Anshonae Mills, at the time of the incident declined to file charges against Holmes who she says threw a glass of liquor in her face. She lawyered up and filed the civil suit, which she is entitled to do, however, without filing charges, it would be awfully tough to win said suit.
Fast forward to April 1. Mills returned to the Orlando Police Department and decided that she wants to prosecute. The OPD, has now...according to their spokeswoman..."The case has be re-activated".

Needless to say, there is a lot of "He Said-She Said" going on here. After the original incident, police were called, but there seemed to be a resolution to the "Situation" and nobody pressed charges and all moved on.
We don't know if Ms. Mills is just looking for a payoff or if Holmes really did what he is accused of, it isn't for us to say. We do know this looks even worse for the Steelers who up to this point had a very family friendly image at home and around the NFL. Between Holmes and Ben Roethlisberger, the Rooney family has a lot of detective and investigative work to do. These are two of their most important players and they don't want to be without either when the 2010 NFL Season commences later this summer.
For those of you who wonder what the heck we are talking about when we say "Wonder Twin Powers Activate", it's from the 70's cartoon the Superfriends. Check out this version of the Wonder Twins redone by the Cartoon Networks Adult Swim.
