Thanks to my friends Rich and Christian, I was able to prepare for yesterday’s eventual Steelers win by talking Pittsburgh football with a legendary NFL personality. Former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson, owner of a few big, shiny rings, was in town near where I was going to watch the game, so I decided to take […]

Even though I predicted a 10-0 Steelers win, the 13-10 OT triumph was as close as I could’ve gotten. For awhile, I thought my prediction would eventually come to be. The teams were tied at zero, and offensive stumbles or defensive stops would overwhelm each drive. Ben didn’t seem right, and the offensive line made […]

YYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Black and Golddust, the unofficial Steelers mascot (at least here at PSAMP), is back for another season of fantastic Pittsburgh football. If you are unfamiliar with Black and Golddust, read his ballad here. And you can go back into the archives and see how he dominated last season. In his first year with the […]

Mere hours before the Steelers open their season against the Titans, Tennessee RB Chris Johnson

The Penguins played the Kitchener rookie tournament against the Maple Leafs yesterday, and it seems like just about everyone got into a fight. I’m used to browsing Youtube and seeing a stray fight or so, but hardly multiple videos in a row. Penguin Joey Haddad fought some hyperactive weirdo named Jesse Blacker. Robert Bortuzzo got […]

Hey the show is back! Me and Cotter resurrected our half-assed (and still unnamed) Steelers pregame show at the last minute. We hadn’t taped anything since a few days before the Super Bowl, and this was pretty much our second take. As always, keep your expectations low and we’ll be sure to blow you away. […]

I guess this could go along with Mondesi’s look at old Pittsburgh sports programs. I spent this past Labor Day weekend with my parents at their place, and there’s always cool old stuff turning up since they recently moved. Stuff that’s been tucked away for years up in the attic at the old place, or […]

This is not the first time that Troy Polamalu is the subject of an unlicensed piece of merch. Remember the Troymanian Devil? Thanks to Stan for this. At one point or another, you all need to Beware of the Hair. Especially if you aren’t using your Head and Shoulders. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll eventually […]

I realize that Big Ben/motorcycle jokes are about as stale as some rice cakes that jerks try to pass off as an acceptable snack food, but this one is partly acceptable. It appears our fat, beautifully-faced, Chrysler-encountering franchise quarterback was able to go back in time and prepare for the near-fatal motorcycle crash that was […]

Happy Labor Day. I wasn’t gonna post anything today, but we got a special gift. Gavin is back in China after a summer in the ‘Burgh, and he’s popped in with another China Jack video for the start of the NFL season. Jack picks a few winners for the first week, and says the Steelers […]

Despite recent assault allegations and a tumultuous offseason, this fantastic Person of Walmart wants to let everyone know that he (she?) still supports the Steelers quarterback. Pink shorts and all. And really, there’s nothing else to say about this…except thanks (?) to Ape for bringing it to my attention. I’m gonna go bleach my eyes. […]

I love when guys from the mid-90s Steelers teams pop up on some random stuff. Former LB Kevin Greene, who also had a 19-year Army Reserve career to go with his 15 years of NFL service, taped a vehicle safety spot for the Naval Safety Center. In it, he urges Marines and Sailor to be […]

This is when having a Belarusian buddy really pays off. Geno brought the Stanley Cup to Magnitogorsk, back to the Metallurg team he once played for. There were mixed emotions in the crowd, as a decent number of Russians are still hurt at how he left for the Pens. Anyway,

Vom. Unlicensed sports gear treads a fine line. Some pieces are not entirely terrible, and get the job done if your budget is on the cheap. However, this is not usually the case, and the latest installment of Great Moments in Unlicensed Pittsburgh Sports Merch brings us one of these horrible concepts. Thanks, but no […]

From the WSJ via Deadspin comes this unreal study of how every starting quarterback in the NFL is “cute.” No really, this was in the WSJ. Facial symmetry is a common trend among football’s signal-callers, which is fantastic news, I guess. So naturally, I had to check where Big Ben ranks. 6th! This guy! Ben […]
