The Facts: Holmes went to California to see his spine specialist, told a family member he was 'fine,' then, in typical Holmes fashion, slipped into obscurity. As of late Saturday, only one thing seemed certain regarding the ever-mysterious Chiefs running back: The mystery of his future will probably drag on for a while.
Diehards Line:Herman Edwards and GM Carl Peterson said they hadn't talked to Holmes as of Saturday afternoon but that there was plenty of time to do so. All Holmes' mother, Norma Morris, would say is that she had talked to her son and he seemed OK. "I just asked him how he was doing," she said. "And he said, 'I'm fine.' I didn't grill him. Whenever he's ready to talk, he'll talk. ..." And we'll have more when that happens.
