the go-ahead three-pointer in OT.

NEW YORK (AP) - It appears Santonio Holmes is sticking with the
New York Jets -- and is much richer for it. By remaining on the
roster through the second day of the NFL's waiver period Tuesday, a
clause in the talented but troublesome wide receiver's contract
kicked in yesterday that will mean Holmes will get $15.25 million
in guaranteed money over the next two seasons.
