Yes, I know. The Steel City already has the RiverRats. However, the team is the equivalent of the Riverhounds. Yeah, they’re a team, but they don’t get the recognition they deserve/need. ESPN bought in to the AFL, and continues shoving in our collective faces, so it must be good. I occasionally like to watch AFL […]

The Passion defeated the Central PA Vipers on Saturday. I’ve already told you that. However, you finally have a chance to check out the stats for the 77-0 beat-down. Torina Henley, the best running back in the history of the world, gained the 166 yards necessary to eclipse the 1,000 yard rushing mark for the […]

NBA-what? I probably just lost a whole buncha readers. Pittsburgh and NBA aren’t readily associated entities. Unless, of course, we’re talking about Kevin Pittsnogle and the Xplosion, or the defunct Pittsburgh Ironmen. PSaMP just found it interesting that the Memphis Grizzlies hired The Notorious B.I.G. as their new General Manager. In fact, Biggie held the […]

This. Is. No. Typo. The Buccos beat the ChiSox 8-7 yesterday, behind an unbelievable catch by left fielder Jason Bay. It all seemed like a classic Pirates failure. Slugger Jim Thome walks to the plate in the top of the 9th. 2 batters were on, and Thome represented the go-ahead run. Thome smacked a ball […]

The Passion finished their regular season undefeated, with a 77-0 drubbing of the Central PA Vipers. There aren’t any stats up at the link, which is par for the course with the NWFA. The Passion finally got some love from the local media, with a nice article by the Post-Gazette. It really exemplifies Pittsburgh football, […]

Spring practices are over, which means Mike Tomlin’s first offseason camp has wrapped up. Since the drills are over, Tomlin needed to create a preliminary depth chart for his first team. Tomlin did just that, but stressed that the selections are written in pencil, to show that no starter’s job is safe. “No job is […]

Little late, here, but I figured it was appropriate to post this video. PSaMP lost its 2nd round matchup, as evident by the poll that was posted a few days ago. Joe Speaker moves on. I called him a stretched out Baba Booey. My buddy called him a generic David Hasselhoff. Speaker’s 1st round opponent […]

Sidney Crosby, the captain of your Pittsburgh Penguins, was named the winner of the Hart Memorial Trophy, as the league MVP! He joins Wayne Gretzky as the youngest recipient of the prestigious award. After winning the Pearson earlier in the night, the road to the Hart looked much easier for The Kid. Crosby prevailed over […]

Michel Therrien did not get the Jack Adams Award, which is presented to the NHL Coach of the Year. That honor was bestowed on a man with a difficult name to pronounce, Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault. While the Canucks did have a great year, Therrien deserved the Adams. Did you see the team before Therrien […]

Evgeni Malkin, superstud rookie from your Pittsburgh Penguins, won the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s ultra-cool, sweet-ass, gnarly, spectacular rookie of the year! Malkin beat fellow teammate Jordan Staal, as well as Colorado forward Paul Stastny. Malkin celebrated by continually looking dumbfounded and confused. Malkin received 120 of 143 votes. Stastny came in 2nd and […]

The NHL named your Penguins captain, Sidney Crosby, as the youngest recipient of the Lester B. Pearson Award. The award is given to the most valuable player as judged by the NHL’s players association. The last Penguin to receive the Pearson was Jaromir Jagr’s mullet, which won in 2000. Jagr’s mullet is also the last […]

This is news? Everyone in Pittsburgh knew Jim Balsillie wanted to move the Pens. Now he’s doing the same to the Preds. This dude doesn’t even deserve any more mentions in Pittsburgh. He put on the “I want to keep the Pens in Pittsburgh” facade, but his knees buckled when Mario said the sale would […]

Wow. I updated my list to reason #22 on May 27th. That means the Buccos had 22 wins as of May 27th. Thanks to the 7-5 win over the Rangers last night, the Pirates now have 27 wins. That makes 5 wins. In 17 days. Awesome. 27-37. Only 10 games below .500. No matter the […]

Deadspin is a lifeline to small, biased bloggers like yours truly. I don’t write for the fame or notoriety. If I wanted that, I would pick a topic that has a larger audience. Yinzers and mini pony lovers don’t populate the entire world. I know that. Its done out of passion. PSaMP doesn’t have a […]

Leave it to Will to bring up the bad memories. Jeff Reed is at it again (More pics if you dare follow the link). No, no privates were involved this time, but he is shirtless, which is nearly as bad. Jeff’s still a fan of the manscaping, as the Deadspin pictorial clearly shows. I justified […]
