Happy 38th Birthday to Sidney Crosby 08/07/25There are two things about Sidney Crosby's birthday which every Penguins fan knows by heart. For one, the date of our Captain's arrival on Earth is emblazoned on Crosby's back-and-shoulders, any time he skates for the Pittsburgh Penguins: “8/7.” Secondly, Sid's birthday means that training camp is just around the corner, signaling an encouraging “midpoint” in an otherwise mundane summer offseason.Special thanks to Espresso A Mano, Pittsburgh's finest coffee roasters and cafe, for partnering with Fly Penguins Fly podcast.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the hot topics in Pittsburgh sports this week. Should Steelers GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make an exception to their rule of not negotiating contracts with players during training camp and into the season when it comes to T.J. Watt? Or should they stick to their guns as he reportedly seeks a contract that would take him to his age 36 season? Is there still time to trade him? And would that defeat the purpose of signing veterans like Aaron Rodgers and trading for names like DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith? And are there any lessons we can learn from the Le'Veon Bell contract holdout close to a decade ago? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks some hockey. What should we make of Penguins GM Kyle Dubas' moves so far this NHL offseason? Does the deal for goalie Arturs Silovs signal big moves coming with Tristan Jarry and/or Erik Karlsson? Should the team tank for a chance to draft Gavin McKenna? Or give Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang a chance for one more Stanley Cup run together? And what should we make of reports that Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle are looking to re-assume ownership of the club? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys tackle the hot topics surrounding the club this week. Should GM Ben Cherington be allowed to trade big names like Mitch Keller, Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes while his future is in question? Or should Bob Nutting limit his options for deals to players on expiring contracts like Tommy Pham, Andrew Heaney and Isiah Kiner-Falefa? What should we make of Reynolds' continued struggles? Was Seth Hernandez a good top pick in the MLB draft? Where does Oneil Cruz go from here after his MLB Home Run Derby performance? And how seriously should we take Konnor Griffin as a prospect?

Joe's quarter century team list is the greatest comeback since 2000. Pitt women's basketball had a 32-point comeback, the largest in NCAA history, and didn't make the list! Pitt didn't allow a point in the third quarter! He doesn't have Sidney Crosby's return from the concussions.

The State of the Penguins. Chris' big question is – how long will the bad times last? The Penguins are the gold-standard franchise in town in the 21st century, with 3 Stanley Cup wins, including the back-to-back run just under a decade ago. For nearly 2 full decades, the Penguins were, at worst, in the mix of things. Chris called the Penguins a ‘blue blood' of the league for the better part of 20 years. Chris described the decent as steady, but silent, including the shakeup in ownership. Chris thinks the initial part of the Kyle Dubas tenure has been disappointing, but he likes the idea of a rebuild and a team loaded with picks. And as long as they have Sidney Crosby, it could expedite that process. What happens if they don't land Gavin McKenna?

Mario Lemieux's Hockey Clock 07/16/25Renewed media buzz has gathered steam around the potential reacquisition of the Pittsburgh Penguins by the Lemieux/Burkle/Morehouse ownership group. Kris Letang's summer workout videos have surfaced and they're - of course - completely insane and sweat-inducing. Erik Karlsson still seems somewhat un-trade-able, in spite of a significant increase in the NHL's salary cap. The Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs has been traded to your Pittsburgh Penguins - and it could be a game changer for the Pens: more on that NEXT episode.Special thanks to Espresso A Mano, Pittsburgh's finest coffee roasters and cafe, for partnering with Fly Penguins Fly podcast.

Kings to win now, the Leafs' trade chips, and much more.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The top five moments of the last quarter century. Joe said some hockey fans in Pittsburgh think the Russell Martin home run in the Wild Card Game is too high on the list and hockey moments should be higher than it. Multiple reporters from Canada and nationally came to Pittsburgh to see Sidney Crosby against the Islanders in his return after his concussion.

We hear from Pirates fans who loved the Wild Card Game and compared it to other big moments they've seen. Rich in Forest Hills saw Mario Lemieux in 1987 for Team Canada. Greg in Youngstown mentions when the Penguins won the draft lottery with Sidney Crosby.

This was a terrific Saturday crossword, because the clues were just brilliant. Who could resist the allure of 58A, Member of a sub-Saharan matriarchal clan, HYENA; or the sly 61D, Wit's end?, NESS; or the witty 29D, Went from 0 to 60?, AGED. And the rest of the clues were of similar caliber, the quality control was that good.

The Penguins drafted Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby in a 21 year span. 21 years from Sid, they could pick Gavin McKenna. We want to see the Penguins embrace the rebuild to draft Gavin McKenna.

Greg Wyshynski of ESPN thinks Sidney Crosby could finish his career in Montreal. Nonsense! Austin thinks Canadians are trying to talk Sid to Canada into existence when we know it's most likely not going to happen.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani: Greg Brown thinks the Pirates are going to make a big trade. What would that mean? It would probably be trading Mitch Keller or a David Bednar trade for a big time bat. Greg Wyshynski of ESPN thinks Sidney Crosby could finish his career in Montreal.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Tyler Kennedy: Greg Wyshynski of ESPN believes Sidney Crosby could one day play for the Montreal Canadians. TK tells us that Montreal has a soft spot for Sidney Crosby and Crosby's dad worked in the organization. Bryan Rust and Rickard Rakell are talented players who could bring back good returns. Tyler Kennedy would keep Rust around and "it would be a shame" if he's traded because Rust can become the future captain.
