Word spread late in the day yesterday that Max Starks took a tumble onto Big Ben’s right ankle/leg. We held our collective breaths aswe were told of ice packs, and trainers and a limping quarterback. But it turns out that Ben just got hit awkwardly, and there is no real reason to panic over this […]

The Pens signed Forward Eric Godard prior to the 2008-09 season as a cheaper, more efficient version of Georges Laraque. Where Big Georges was an all-around nice guy who wouldn’t fight as much as the fans demanded, Godard would drop the gloves at the…drop of a hat? Sorry, that sentence confused me…so just look at […]

My forward-thinking comrades at IheartPGH cannot wait for Steelers season to start. And when it does, they aren’t trying to watch games at home, or even visit Heinz Field. No, they want to take a trip around the country, on a National Steelers Bar Tour. And that, my friends, is awesome. They are currently raising funds, […]

Sid was back home in Nova Scotia yesterday, finally accepting the esteemed Order of Nova Scotia. He was named as a recipient back in September, but the October ceremony conflicted with the start of the NHL season. “It’s special,” he said after the private ceremony. “Hockey has taken me elsewhere outside the province, but I […]

I talk about Foley’s, our now-legendary Penguins bar in NYC, a lot here at PSAMP. During this Cup run, it was a constant source of content. I’d like to believe that we’re the largest, most dedicated group of Penguins fans outside of the city of Pittsburgh, and a statement like that can’t be too far […]

Shaq Vs., the ABC reality show featuring the NBA big man premieres tonight at some time o’clock EST. For his first challenge, he decided to try and run a football offense better than Ben Roethlisberger. Since waiting sucks, I give you a sneak peak at tonight’s show. Enjoy as Shaq talks up his football accomplishments […]

Right now, there’s a lot of legal posturing going on between many major professional and collegiate sports leagues and the state of Delaware over single-game betting. Delaware is one of a few states exempt from federal law, since they tinkered with single-game parlays prior to the national statute prohibiting such endeavors going into effect. Or something. […]

Remaking a classic is tricky. If you’re not 100% true to the original, then you’ll have purists on your back for destroying the integrity of the predecessor. We saw this with the iconic Mean Joe Greene/Coca-Cola commercial, when Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins lumbered through a rip-off of the spot with little success. Steelers safety Troy […]

Yesterday was the first exhibition game of the Steelers’ 2009-2010 season. That means the regular season is almost upon us. With the regular season comes my Steelers recaps, the weekly Monday Morning Chrysler New Yorker. I only plan on doing one (maybe two) during the preseason as a sorta warmup. The MMCNY will run the […]

With my birthday rolling through yesterday, I’m now feeling like an old fogey. So indulge me as I tear apart this kid, FJM-style. I’m tired of NFL and ESPN.com and all those other websites saying stuff about the Steelers and how good they are and all that stuff. I’m tired of it, because, “They have […]

(Ed. note: I’ve published this post every year on my birthday. It was originally published on this date in 2007, so some of the info is dated. I’ve taken the liberty of including some notes where updates are needed) I’m proud to share my birthday with the greatest group of human beings ever assembled. Spanning […]

Football season is getting closer. Yes, the unbearable heat of August is one telling sign, but there’s another more prominent way of knowing this. Snoop is back on board with the Steelers. He’s a noted Steelers fan, who, every now and then, decides to pop in with other teams…sporting their gear or visiting their practices. […]

Thanks to Steely McStupid for pointing this out to me. Apparently, Philly.com is up in arms (sure…pun intended) about some really old photos of the Steelers shooting guns. You know, the ones I found back in January (at the old blogspot page here). The ones that made it to such esteemed blogs like Deadspin and Bob’s […]

This is getting ridiculous. I know some birds can talk or whatever, but what’s alarming is that all these birds keep using their profound voices to cheer on the Steelers. Remember this cool Macaw? Or this totally sweet bird? Now we have this gray bird in the above video, who has obviously been hanging out […]
