Earlier today, PSaMP welcomed its 10,000th visitor! This isn’t huge, by other blogs’ standards, but it means a lot here. Plus, I needed an excuse to manipulate this Mr. 10,000 picture that I found. 10,000 visitors is the perfect reason. All of the reads/comments/emails mean a lot. Keep ’em coming. That’s enough celebration… Back to […]

Jeez. It only took 14 years. Disgruntled Pirate fans are planning a walk-out of the June 30th home game to show disgust over poor management and front-office decisions. More info/thoughts here. Many thanks to reader Julie_Gong, who PSaMP knows and loves, for tipping me off about the story. Andy Chomos and Sean Lucas are the […]

You know what really makes a blogger mad? Mean comments/emails? Well, yeah to a certain degree. Slow sports days? That, too. Low visitor turnout? Somewhat. Delayed flights? Bingo. If anyone tells you to fly out of Philadelphia, don’t do it. That airport takes way too many planes each day. Way more than they can handle. […]

No, this isn’t about LeBron James, but it does involve a team making it to the playoffs, and showing everyone that they belong. Behind a creative offense, the Passion rolled to a victory over the Erie Illusion. The final score was 63-7. Lisa Horton hit Wilma Walton for a 73 yard touchdown on the opening […]

So PSaMP is adding a new feature to the lineup. Last week (or whenever it was) I showed you how ESPN visited the site. I find it humorous how certain people find PSaMP, or more imprtantly, why they find PSaMP. To honor these visitors, I’m going to start posting my own Visitor if the Week, […]

63-7. That's all I'm gonna say now. Erie had no chance.

Before yesterday’s draft the possibility of me writing this headline was slim to none. At least in my mind. Angelo Esposito, the consensus top prospect heading into the past season, slipped to the 20th overall selection, and the Pens were there to snatch him up. Shero even admitted that the team had no name tag […]

Finally! It seems like its been forever since talks began with the two veterans, but Ray Shero and the Pens signed Gary Roberts and Mark Recchi. Both are signed to 1 year deals. Roberts’ deal is said to be for $2.5 mil, while Recchs can earn up to $2 mil through bonuses. The Pens should […]

Here’s a cool fundraiser that you should definitely check out. Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato announced the auction of 30 celebrity ties that are available for your online bid. The ties, which have been “touring” Pittsburgh for the past month, will be auctioned online at the County’s website. All proceeds will benefit the Kane […]

PSaMP is proud to stay on the cutting edge of Pittsburgh sports. As your official unofficial Pittsburgh Passion blogger (My own title. I made it up myself), I’ve been happy to bring you, the reader, Passion updates from each Pittsburgh victory this season. The team finished a stunning 8-0, and the ground attack was headed […]

Here’s what PSaMP is reading now. Join in and you can read words at the same time PSaMP does! – Personalized NFL Jerseys. DAI is quickly becoming a PSaMP fave and has put out some quality posts in its short existence. These personalized NFL jerseys are a perfect give for the person you love. And […]

So I put a poll up on PSaMP (top left corner) to find out what people think of the newest PSaMP logo. Overwhelmingly, the most repetitious response is Funniest Thing I’ve Ever Seen. That was my personal opinion, so I’m glad consensus is with me. However, I added a Create Your Own Answer option. To […]

The Penguins signed another young winger today, Connor James. The Kings selected James with the 9th pick in 2002. He’s been playing in the AHL since. James appeared in 2 games for the Kings in 2005-2006, but played the remainder of the year for the Manchester Monarchs. James first signed last year with the Pens. […]

Stephen Colbert is hilarious. Openly mocking Republicans by flawlessly portraying one is comic gold. On his most recent show, McConaughey was featured as The Word, one of the best bits on the show. Matthew McConaughey was just named some dumb title in People Magazine or some other worthless celebrity read. Colbert kills it. Wait for […]

Funny stuff. Doubt About It is a new Pittsburgh blog, and PSaMP likes what it sees. I had thought about manipulating the We Will ads, which are just ripe for the picking. DAI did a hilarious job at poking fun at the Pirates’ meager attempts to live up to this advertising campaign. I mean, the […]
