Now, listen. It didn't work. I don't want to start any fires outside the meeting of the Three Rivers in Pittsburgh. But what does this mean for the still unsigned, despite the Canadian media, still unsigned, Sydney Crosby? It's September the third, gentlemen. Sydney Crosby was supposed to be signed by now. We'd heard from The Athletic in Pittsburgh, right after CJ made the comment, by the way, in the CJ show, Coming back Thursday. Oh, boy. Right after they made that comment, Hey, well, it's not signed yet. It's not looking great. That, Oh, they were closer. Not a single thing. We thought maybe Crosby's birthday, 8/7, August seventh.

Even though he's never done that.

Yeah, who thought that?

Just internet.

Cj pointed that out on his show. He was like, He's never done that, though. Yeah.

He's never once done that. Why did anybody think that was going to happen?

Because it's cute and funny. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

Because we just wanted to be Cutie Ptooties, Jessie. Okay? All right.

This time last season, what were we talking about? In relation to- Man, how about that weather?

How bad the Penguins July first was? I was talking about- You were still on that.

But we were talking about how Steven Stamkos was disrespected all summer long. We got back in September, and that was some of the biggest news we could talk about. Yes, the captain of a team, a franchise player, a man who's going to have a statue one day outside of the arena being unsigned and how they didn't really negotiate with him during the summer, and they would not until the offseason started. What eventually happened? We got to around the end of June, and they said, You know what? We're still negotiating through the weekend and all this stuff. Then on a Sunday, just before July first, it came out that Stamkos would be leaving the Tampa Bay Lightning. Don't rule out the possibility here that we see some drama with Sydney Crosby. I feel like it's sacrilegious to say that, but who knows? To be fair- I didn't think we'd be here with Stamkos.

I don't know that Kyle Dubas is going to offer Cydney Crosby a contract that says, We actively don't want you. Please don't sign this. Love the team that you've only ever played for, which is what the Lightning, that's what Brieswa gave Stamkos. Like, Please don't sign this.

He would have to wear a mustard-colored suit to every game.

Kyle? Yeah. Because he'd be covered in it?

Yeah. Fans would just... He would have to adapt. He would have to... I mean, wouldn't you?

Yeah.

If someone ran Sydney Crosby out of Pittsburgh.

Listen. I'm sorry, but we needed to save some dollars. It's a bit peculiar that he's not signed.

That's all. Now, how does this affect the least?

Next year, Sydney Crosby does not have a contract.

Like next summer?

That's just fact, right?

As of right now, Sydney Crosby does not have a place to play.

Stay to the camera. As of right now, Sydney Crosby does not have a place to play next season. That is just factual information.

Here's what's going to happen. He signs a contract after this show? No. Because we have a show tomorrow as well. He signs a show He signs a contract tomorrow afternoon.

Or Thursday.

Or Thursday morning. But no, tomorrow afternoon is way funnier. The moment Jesse presses Upload, publish. It's boom.

We'll be texting, Steve. You better do a I'll be like, Fuck you.

Oh, wait. Oh, no, I'm not on vacation anymore.

Where does Crosby play next season?

I hope it's for a team that goes to the playoffs.

He's going to retire. Shut up.

Adam, what's your prediction?

I want a team that's going to the playoff, so it can't be Pittsburgh.

Damn.

See, Pittsburgh is not bad enough to be out of contention.

The Metropolitan is not the Metropolitan this year.

Oh, I didn't say they're going to make it.

I just said They're not bad enough to be out. They're literally the 2006, 2007 leaves.

Kind of.

They're not bad, except those leaves were actually bad.

Crosby's a hair better than Sandine.

Yeah, just a bit.

Just a hair.

But my point in that is saying that they were in that area you don't want to be, where you're always picking 14th or 15th, but you never make the playoffs.

Listen, listen. Penguins fans, I think, are being a little unfair about this.

I get it. I get it.

I get it. I get it. I totally get it. But if this were any other star player, we'd be well within our rights to be like, Hey.

That's weird.

That's a little odd. And they just go, Hey, shit. Oh, Canada, again. There you are.

Canadian media being...

We all know Canada is full of pieces of shit, except you, said. Except you, you beautiful bouncing baby boy. Well, I love that. I don't know why he's this small.

A country the 10th of the size of the States is bullying the American media.

I'm petting him the wrong way.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I'm petting him.

You're petting Sid Crosby? Yeah. Okay.

I'm stroking his beautiful black hair.

Adam, continue, please.

I just want to say this..
