Donnie Football

Outside of recreation when you're a little kid, at least this is how I felt, I don't care if every single guy on the team is a buddy of mine.

I don't care if the guy next to me is my best friend or not.

I want the guy on the field that gives my team the best chance to win.

So there could be a debate over, well, what's better, a bad teammate but a great player or a great teammate but a bad player?

I think that voting would go 100% in favor of bad teammate but great player.

Because if a guy's a great teammate but he sucks on the field, what's that ever going to win you?

Nothing.

It's not impossible for guys to be both.

Sidney Crosby is the anomaly.

Dylan was 110% correct.

You do not get guys like Sidney Crosby every day.

You get one of them in a generation.

A guy that is as good as he is, but also as selfless as he is, on and off the ice, we have never...

in the two-plus decades that the guy has been in the spotlight in this town, we have never heard a single shred of bad news about Sidney Crosby.

You can't just compare every single athlete to him.

Because very few people are perfect.

Sidney Crosby's about as close to it as you could be.

But when it comes down to

Somebody being a good guy or a good teammate, if he's a great player, I really don't care what kind of teammate he is.

I don't care what kind of guy off the field he is.
