What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Go ahead and bob your head, Tyler. Yeah, I know.
You like this? Yeah, I do. It's kind of like maybe I look forward to it a little bit. It's close to like listening to it. It's almost good enough to listen to in the car consistently. Like, hey, I don't mind. Listen to this.
Bob, why aren't you bobbing your head? It's a very catchy tune. They did a great job with this one. Live up to your name and bob your head. We owe them a debt of gratitude for putting this thing together.
Bob, how many Strixons hats do you have?
A lot.
Yeah, I could say.
I still have your Srixon sweatshirt, Bob, at home. Do you want it back? No, did you ever wear it? I wear it once a week. Good. I actually stole it. Is that okay? Yeah, that's fine. Welcome to Pomp and Joe... With Tyler Kennedy, brought to you by SaveYourSettlement.com, helping injured people and their families plan for the rest of their lives. Well, that's where we begin, with an injured person, Sidney Crosby. And I'm assuming everybody's doing well, but this is a gigantic story. The latest out of Milan is that Sid has not been ruled out. And we'll see what happens in tomorrow's game. We'll see what happens Sunday. But the question on the table, and I don't even remember which of the five of you, because Doran and Crowley were in here talking too, raised the question, is everybody okay if Sid risks further injury by going out there hurt?
Maybe at the expense of being healthy for the Penguins stretch run. I'll just answer first very quickly and then throw the floor to you guys. We'll throw it to Tyler first. Tyler Kennedy. Kennedy. I'm 100% okay with that. He's earned the right to do whatever he wants to do. Tyler?
Am I talking as an owner of the team or as a fan?
You're talking as Bob. Would you like to introduce him again?
You're talking as... Tyler Kennedy steps to the plate and he hits one deep to left center field.
That ball's going to be out of here. You're talking as Tyler Kennedy, Penguin fan and former Penguin.
Yes, he's had... I think a good enough career to make that decision. I think Sid knows his body. I think he'd always make the right decision. I would think it would all be on him.
What is the latest update on Sidney Crosby's injury?
He would have the final say, and it didn't matter what I said, what the team said, or what the Penguins
And you're okay with that? Because I am. If he goes out there really hurt and risks himself, I'm okay with that. He's earned it, I think.
I always think this is kind of what happens sometimes. When you go out there half injured, you can make it worse or you put yourself in a situation to get crushed or something worse that can happen. That's the only thing that scares me. But as an owner, as a fan, I'm like not a chance, not with how tight the run is, you know, and we got to remember who's paying Sidney Crosby, the Pittsburgh.
Okay. So, so, so where do you fall? Now I'm confused. You've given both sides of this. How do you feel about it?
Well, from a former player, I think you let him make decision, but if I'm an owner of the team and I have, skin in the game and I'm part of that staff and I see where we're at in standings and we want to try to get to the playoffs. I'm telling you, I think it's, no, no, you're not playing. When does a team step in and say, hey, Sid, you can't risk this. As much as you want to do and win Olympic gold, you can't put your interests ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins. We are paying you $8.7 million a year to be the guy, but Sid pretty much has enough power, the career he's had, to be like, actually... Yeah, I am, you know, because of what he's done.
Yeah, I don't think they can do anything.
Should Sidney Crosby risk playing while injured?
I would definitely understand the concerns.
Oh, yeah. But Kyle Drewis is the GM there.
Well, he's the assistant, yeah.
Yeah, he's the assistant GM, so he's got to have his eyes right on him. They've got to have a pretty honest, serious conversation of where he's at. I don't think he's going to play the next game. He might be able to go on Sunday.
Maybe. Can you imagine, Bob, if he limps out there like Willis Reid for Team Canada on Sunday? What's your thought, Bob?
