Praise must be given to the Pittsburgh RiverRats, the area’s expansion AIFA (American Indoor Football Association) team, who in their first full season, will send 5 players to the AIFA All-Star game. Franchise Quarterback David Dinkins has been one of the most exciting players in the league. His official stats include 45 passing touchdowns, as […]

Most Pirates fans should be questioning their loyalty to the team after reading that headline. Torres is coming back as closer after what, 2 games? And in those two games, Salomon gave up a lead-changing 2-run shot to Andre Ethier. Why then, is Torres replacing Matt Capps in the closer role? Don’t get your panties […]

No, I’m not talking employee as in free agent signing. Ron Porter, President and CEO of RDP Consulting Services, Inc., was hired by your Pittsburgh Penguins today. Porter, 62, of the Hill District, is a consultant, trainer and speaker with expertise in team-building and collaboration between corporations and their communities. He also is an adjunct […]

This logo banner is killing me. I’m trying not to laugh every time I load this page. That’s all I’m going to say.

The Steelers re-signed running back Verron Haynes today. Haynes was cut by the team, which eventually signed running back Kevan Barlow, most recently of the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets. Also, with the growing comfort of Najeh Davenport, Verron’s place in the Mike Tomlin-era Steelers is far from assured. Haynes had been the primary 3rd down […]

Congrats to the Pittsburgh Passion, who extended their win streak to 6 games, easily defeating the Cincinnati Sizzle 55-7. This win concludes a season sweep of the 2 Ohio franchises, the Cleveland Fusion and the Sizzle. The teams were really no match for the Passion, who used key contributions from a wide assortment of players, […]

Check it out. PSaMP, simply put, is a sportsblog dedicated to the Pirates, Penguins and Steelers. The Pens and Stillers probably felt a little left out, seeing as how the Buccos got all the love from the former PSaMP logo. The logo is so much cooler now, but that’s my own opinion. Email me at […]

This is the largest picture of Larry Zierlein on the ‘Net. Or at least the largest one I could find. No matter the size of his mug, Larry Zierlein wants everybody to know that he is, in fact, sorry for sending porn to NFL front offices and Commissioner Roger Goodell. The story comes from Ed […]

With the score tied at 2, the Bucs and the Padres are in extra innings. Josh Bard thought he hit a back to back homer which would have put San Diego up 4-2. After it was initially ruled a homer, the umps got together to rule that it hit the railing in right field, before […]

Not sports related, but there is a reported bomb threat to the Pittsburgh tunnels. The Squirrel Hill Tunnels and Fort Pitt Tunnels are reopened, but the Liberty Tubes remain closed. A package has been found at the Liberty Tubes, but County bomb squads are not yet on the scene. If a terrorist tries to strike […]

The Post-Gazette caught my eye with a headline about Steelers running back Najeh Davenport. The headline reads: Steelers’ Davenport Feeling More Comfortable. First thing that went through my mind was, “Oh no, Najeh took a shit in someone’s closet again.” I know dropping the kids off in a closet definitely makes me more comfortable. (Side […]

What does Sidney Crosby have in common with Ab McDonald, Ron Schock, Jean Pronovost, Orest Kindrachuk, Randy Carlyle, Mike Bullard, Terry Ruskowski, Dan Frawley, Lemieux, Ron Francis and Jaromir Jagr? The Penguins captaincy. Crosby is officially the youngest NHLer to ever inherit the C, besting Vincent Lecavalier by a month. He’s the first Pens captain […]

I don’t know if you’ve already seen this or not, but dude in the cardigan got worked. Why are they in a library, and why is there just one black guy? There is so much of this I don’t understand, but Pittsburgh definitely needs its own team. The muffled laughter is ridiculous. Old Man Bites […]

PSaMP wants the Pittsburgh Pirates to trade PSaMP’s undying fan loyalty to another team for failing to put forth a winning team for the past 14 seasons. I’ll blog for any team at this point, because all I want to do is blog. There is nothing the Pirates organization can do to change my mind. […]

He may be ugly. He may not close his mouth. But Tom Gorzelanny leads the team with a 6-3 record, which puts him only one victory behind the National League lead of 7 wins. Plus, his 2.39 ERA, which he lowered in last night’s 4-1 win, is good for 3rd in the NL, behind freak […]
