This holiday season, Amazon brings you an unmissable month of festive football.

What a fantastic night of football.

Including 10 Premier League games.

It doesn't get much better than that.

And Tuesday's UEFA Champions League must watch match.

The biggest live games from the biggest leagues all wrapped up.

It's on Prime.

Let's start with this.

Good morning to you. Good Thursday morning. I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is Daily Shot of Penguins. Comes your way bright and early every weekday. If you're into football and or baseball,

I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Pirates, where you found this.

Elliot Friedman, who's a pretty connected guy up in Canada, over the weekend, tweeted out and stated on a Sportsnet broadcast up there that he believed that the penguins

and Malkin haven't yet consummated a deal because they can't agree on money.

Now, while I wait for the laughter to subside there,

because Elliot might as well have been reporting that the Canadian flag is red and white,

that thing, that little non-nugget that Elliot, I guess, felt compelled to put out to the world, gave cover to a lot of other people,

a lot who extrapolated on it, speculated on it.

Here are the facts.

There are six people, total, involved in the process between the penguins and these two players.

And that would be Ron Hextall, Brian Burke, even Burke is secondary in this, because Hextall is the only one doing the actual communicating.

Malkin, his agent, Latang, and his agent. The end.
