Week 19 Preview: Pittsburgh Power (4-13) Vs. Spokane Shock (13-4)
The 2013 edition of Pittsburgh Power football will come to an end Friday night in Spokane as the team plays the season finale against the Spokane Shock. Pittsburgh (4-13) is looking to end the season on a positive note and needs a victory over Spokane (13-4) to match their 5-13 record of a season ago. The quarterback situation remains questionable for the Power as Steven Sheffield recovers from a concussion he suffered in Cleveland. Shane Austin has started the last two games with mixed ...

Marc Andre Fleury: Writing on the Wall
The trials and tribulations for the Penguins Marc Andre Fleury just got even more intense. As we know, the Pittsburgh Penguins shunned Fleury, pulling him from the postseason, questioning his mental toughness, and pretty much wiping away any confidence they had in him. To cement that point, the Pittsburgh Penguins also selected the highly touted goaltender in, Tristan Jarry with their first pick in the 2013 NHL draft. Penguins General Manager, Ray Shero is going through great lengths to ... Read More
Steelers’ Training Camp Battles
Training camp has quickly approached with players reporting this Friday to the comfortable confines of St. Vincent College for the 48th season. This season like the rest has numerous storylines that we’ll be covering throughout camp. But one of the most interesting ones are camp battles and the 2013 Steelers are in no shortage of those. A look to get you ready for the official start of football season. OLB: Jason Worilds/Jarvis Jones One of the big two Steelers’ fans will be watching ... Read More
Savage Will Get Nod, Signs Indicate
Pitt quarterbacks Tom Savage and Chad Voytik are still contending for the starting job, and at the end of spring drills, head coach Paul Chryst did not declare a winner. However, it appears as though the fifth year senior and former 5-star prospect has teammates on his side, including senior wide receiver Devin Street. It’s been a rocky road for the journeyman quarterback, who has been on the roster of three teams (Rutgers, Arizona and Pitt) in his 5 years as an NCAA student-athlete. He will ... Read More
Pittsburgh Power Ends Seven Game Skid with 48-37 Win Over Tampa Bay
It was certainly one of the uglier arena football games you’ll ever watch but that doesn’t matter to the Pittsburgh Power who ended a 7-game losing streak by defeating the Tampa Bay Storm 48-37 Saturday night. Conversely it is now the Storm who own the league’s longest current losing streak with six in a row. A pass rush that has been nonexistent for most of the year finally arrived for the Power (4-13) as they sacked Storm quarterback Randy Hippeard six times, easily their season high in ... Read More
Maurkice Pouncey: A Rebuttal
It would be an understatement to say this has been an offseason Roger Goodell would like to forget. Get to training camp everyone. Peyton Manning, start throwing to Wes Welker. Tim Tebow, do anything. For a time, it seemed the biggest wave made in Steelers’ camp was Mike Wallace sending a few choice words from Miami. Sticks and stones, right? All things considered, everything was calm. Enter photos of Maurkice Pouncey wearing a “Free Hernandez” cap. Ka-boom. Predictably, fans were ... Read More
Pittsburgh Power Suffer Historic Home Loss To SaberCats
I remember being taught at a young age, when you don’t have something nice to say about someone, you shouldn’t say anything at all. The problem is I’d have a real short column this week and wouldn’t be doing my job covering the team for PSN. It was a game for the record books, and not in a good way for the home team. The Pittsburgh Power (3-13) played their final home game of the 2013 season and lost to the San Jose SaberCats (12-4) by a score of 78-20. It was 48-7 at halftime and the 58 ... Read More
Week 17 preview; San Jose SaberCats (11-4) vs. Pitsburgh Power (3-12)
It comes down to pride for the Pittsburgh Power (3-12) as they host the San Jose SaberCats (11-4) in the final home game of the 2013 season. The teams played a closely fought game in San Jose a few weeks ago that saw the game tied with a minute to go. Both teams started their backup quarterbacks last time but we should see the regular starters Steven Sheffield and Russ Michna run the fireworks show this week. Sheffield helped lead the Power to their highest score of the season last week ... Read More
Pittsburgh Power Lose To Division Rival Cleveland 71-58
The Pittsburgh Power (3-12) had to feel fairly confident heading into their divisional matchup against the Cleveland Gladiators (3-12), after all this was one team they were ahead of in the standings and had defeated earlier in the season. Not anymore. The Power got off to a great start by forcing a goal line fumble by Gladiator quarterback Chris Dieker. It took the Power exactly one play on offense, a 42 yard strike from Steven Sheffield to Julian Talley and just like that it was 7-0 Power. ... Read More
