22 Best Board Games. Ever

Most of us were children prior to the dawn of the computer age. Video games are all good fun, but when we needed to play as kids…and I mean really play, we turned to our good buddy, Milton Bradley. Board games rule. Simply put. Yes, this is a sports website, and board games aren’t in […]

Drew’s Lines is it Anyway?

After reading the Ladies…’ ridiculous post about cheese (or cheeze), I got to thinking about Whose Line is it Anyway. The show was the pinnacle of television comedy in its prime, and I was a diehard fan. Lady Andrea brought up a Three Headed Broadway Star clip about cheese, and it is one of my […]

Pitt or Pittsburgh? Either Way, Its Money Down the Drain

Remember back in 1997, when then-Athletic Director Steve Pedersen decided to change the PITT name to Pittsburgh, to show the school’s affiliation with the city? Well, 10 years of affiliation is obviously enough. The school is tearing up the tile Pittsburgh floor logo (above) in order to replace it with a PITT moniker. The old […]

Visitor of the Week: Its Only the Second Week of July?

This week’s VotW race was too good. I couldn’t pick just one. The first (above) comes all the way from Sunday. Googling “pittsburgh pirates panties” is a sure-fire way to get nominated for VotW. I don’t know if this visitor actually wanted a pair of Pirates gutchies. Or perhaps they just think the Pirates are […]

Polamalu Deal is Near

We can almost stop holding our breath. Steel City Insider Jim Wexell is reporting that a contract with safety Troy Polamalu is nearing completion. JJ Cooper at the Fanhouse has the scoop. Ryan, over at Heels, Sox and Steelers, is also reporting on the news. This could be huge. Troy is currently making less money […]

Pens Avoid Arbitration with Armstrong’s Beak-Nose

Winger Colby Armstrong showed the team he could levitate. The Pens rewarded him with a 2-year deal, successfully avoiding arbitration with all restricted free agents. The Pens needed to keep him because his nose looks like a beak…so now they can probably get rid of Iceburgh, and just use Armstrong as the team mascot. Armstrong […]

Is Francis Getting the Shaft?

Recently, PSaMP received an email from reader Jody diPerna, a hardcore Ron Francis fan with an interesting question. Francis, who was recently inducted into the hockey HOF, was a huge figure in Penguins lore. I mean, the guy helped bring back to back Cups to the City. We don’t just forget favors like that. However, […]

PSaMP at Kennywood: New Ride

The new ride this year is Cosmic Chaos, It's a UFO-looking contraption that does nothing but spin on a U-shaped track. My stomach would not be able to take this weird ride. I didn't ride it. I probably never will. I'll stick to classics like the Thunderbolt, Turtle, the Racer, Ragin' Rapids etc.
