With their 1st of 2 6th Round picks (unless they trade), the Steelers selected Mike Humpal, LB out of Iowa. At 6-3, 242, Humpal could be the heir to Farrior and Foote on the inside (instead of Bruce Davis, as I thought of earlier). Humpal’s already got the whole Black and Gold thing going on […]

Consider my mind blown. In the 5th Round, Pittsburgh selected QB Dennis Dixon from Oregon. Dixon was a one-time Heisman favorite this season before ending his collegiate career with a knee injury. The depth chart is all nutty, what with Ben getting paid, Charlie Batch on the roster, Jared Zabransky joining the team and now […]

In the 4th Round, the Steelers swapped picks with the New York Giants, moving down from #123 to #130 to select OT Tony Hills from Texas. Former Longhorn Limas Sweed should feel at home, now. Big boy if 6-5, 309 pounds and was moved from TE (yes, tight end), to OT when he got to […]

In the 3rd Round, Pittsburgh selected Bruce Davis, DE/OLB from UCLA. To be honest, I don’t know much about Davis. From what I’ve heard, he was a DE/linebacker at UCLA, but could play linebacker in the bigs if he gains some weight. The “experts” are saying outside linebacker, but who is the logical heir to […]

In the 2nd Round, Pittsburgh drafted a decent sized receiver in Texas’ Limas Sweed. ESPN lists him at 6 foot 5, 219 pounds while the draft tracker has him at only6 foot 3 (and 7/8) and 215 pounds. Either way…Big Ben, you got your wish.

The Steelers used their 1st Round pick, 23rd overall, on Illinois RB Rashard Munhall Mendenhall. With Devin Thomas still on the board and Big Ben pleading for a tall WR, I thought the Steelers were giving serious thought to the Michigan State wideout. Rather, the team is showing its continued reliance on the ground game. […]

(picture blatantly stolen from here) PSaMP would like to congratulate Sean Avery on shis recent accomplishment. With a 2nd period tally, Avery became the first girl to score a goal in a traditionally male-dominated, NHL Eastern Conference semifinals game! She might be a little misunderstood, but since she broke a barrier, I had to give […]

The game winner. If that game didn’t take years off your life then you are a cyborg.

Watch every one of these videos. Don’t worry. I’ll wait. They’re short. … … Done? Cool. For as little attention as the NHL playoffs seem to get, the promotional videos for the playoffs on Versus are top notch. Now, I’d like to share some storylines for tonight’s series-opening game, coming straight from a National Hockey […]

Poll time. We all know celebrities come out full force to watch sporting events, should their local teams consistently succeed (Jack Nicholson) or fail miserably (Spike Lee). Celebrity hockey fans are different, primarily because the NHL doesn’t pull massive audiences, thus making “appearances” seem unimportant. However, Snoop Dogg showed love for the eventual Cup-winning Anaheim […]

Yes, you heard that correct. BethRawks is cool in my book. And as I’ve said before, my book is so badass that you would totally buy it if I had it published. I had been waiting patiently to see who would be the Penguins opponent in the 2nd round. I mean, we haven’t played in […]

Man, Obama is pulling out all the stops in order to win over the Western part of PA. According to this video, Barack is a huge Steelers fan, and he adopted the Black and Gold as his team when he was growing up in Hawaii. I do like that Barack is pushing for acceptance in […]

Kids hate the Pirates. And love the Penguins. I can’t blame them. I’d pick Sid/Geno/MAF/Staal over Bay/ADD/Paulino/McLouth any day. The tots are just learning early on that winning makes you that much cooler. Growing up, I was able to experience winning in both sports. Sure, the Buccos didn’t bring home the championship, but I was […]

Think your life sucks because its Monday? Be glad you aren’t former Steelers draft pick Tim Worley. Here’s a quick video for you to demonstrate why You > Tim Worley. Props to both Deadspin and One for the Other Thumb for sharing the goods.
