Terrelle Pryor has made his decision. PSaMP has the Breaking News. Michigan and Ohio State were thrown out of the running when Pryor announced that he wanted to play collegiate basketball in addition to football. Pryor shocked the world by announcing his decision to attend…Coppin State. With the 20-loss team bowing out of the NCAA […]

(Picture ripped directly from The Pensblog. However, I’m not the asshole who wouldn’t credit them) First things first…I don’t like stealing some other blog’s inside jokes and using them to make myself look funny and unique. Gary Roberts (and all the myths/urban legends that go with him) is The Pensblog‘s baby. Several other blogs (not […]

Bobby Knight, of all people, has decided to give a little St. Patty’s Day gift to wishful-thinking Yinzers. While many an ESPN analyst went safe and picked a plethora of 1 seeds to reach the Final Four, Mr. Knight went against the grain and picked the red-hot Pitt Panthers. And not just to reach the […]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYa3m2NQ3oA&hl=en I don’t know if your computer can handle a commercial this intense. It might shut down. Hat tip to Heather at Gatorade for emailing me this unbelievable commercial. I haven’t seen it on t.v. yet, so it must be brand new. Its part of the “League of Clutch” series, which features other clutch athletes […]

Wow…Fridays suck. Its almost the weekend, and I’m so looking forward to Saturday. The Pens don’t play til Sunday (on NBC…against the Phlyers), the Pirates held Billy Crystal hitless and Pitt upset Louisville in the Big East Tournament. There’s some good happening in our local sports landscape, but its safe to admit that we’re in […]

Death Metal Puppy – Watch more free videos This has nothing to do with sports, but I needed to post it. Deal with it…it gets a pass because its PSaMP’s anniversary AND the video is going to make you cry from laughing too hard. Seems like a fun thing to teach a dog. Hint: You […]

(Click for larger view) Can you spot the error on this boxscore from mlb.com? … That’s right. No Muresan on the visiting team. I’ll let you know what Billy Crystal does, seeing as how he’s leading off the bottom of the first. UPDATE: Crystal struck out on what should be his only AB of the […]

On this day, one year ago, PSaMP was birthed. Thanks to the Penguins staying in Pittsburgh, I decided to start a place to vent my frustrations, discuss some local-sports oddities and enjoy images of kickass little horses. Thanks to everyone who has ever read PSaMP. Although I started the site for myself, in the end, […]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MHJ7iFuaUI&hl=en I understand that the Pirates are a laughingstock, but old losers are more of a laughingstock in my book. And my book rules. You’d totally buy my book if I published it. Billy Crystal tomorrow.

In light of the Yankees signing Billy Crystal to play against Pittsburgh on Thursday, I’m pleading the Pirates organization to make a splash themselves. Sign Gheorghe Muresan. I know the Pirates front office hasn’t listened to the fans in, oh, 15+ years, but now is the time to hear our voice. In Muresan’s case, we’d […]

In case you hadn’t heard (probably not the case), James Harrison was arrested on assault charges after slapping a woman in the face. I hate people who vehemently defend their local sports stars after controversy (see: New England fans, spygate) and I will not be the one to say, “Oooh…let’s wait for all the details […]

If you’ve noticed the counter on the upper-left-part of the page, the number of days counted is getting ridiculously close to 365. It isn’t just some random assortment of numbers. The internet was officially dominated the day I started PSaMP, and the one-year anniversary is oh so close. (Actually, the one-year anniversary will fall on […]

/Wishing I was younger. Or held back. Apparently, Mike Tomlin will be giving the commencement address at St. Vincent College this May. That makes him the keynote speaker at the 162nd commencement. For those of that don’t know, I was a part of the 161st graduating class. We got stuck with George Bush (above…from my […]

JOIN ME! If you use Facebook, and you happen to love PSaMP, then add me as a friend. No, my last name really isn’t Psamp, but my first name is Nicholas (although you should probably know that by now). And if you’re feeling randy, join the newly-formed Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies Facebook Group. Let […]
