00:00It is a Monday, a very newsy Monday, too, but that doesn't change.
00:04It just gives us more meat on the bone for Can We Say That?
00:09David.
00:18Rico Beard in the always electric Caribbean green QZIP.
00:23Yes.
00:23All right, Michael.
00:24We've been talking about the World Cup.
00:27I think this is a safe, can we say that?
00:30Can we say that Jameis Winston will have a career in TV when he finally gives up playing football?
00:37This dude is entertaining.
00:39He may be not that great on the field, but he's entertaining with a microphone.
00:43David, I'm not doing this.
00:46I enjoy everything that he does off the field.
00:49I really do.
00:49I think he does have a gig to be an analyst, though, not that sideline.
00:54I don't need all that.
00:55I just need him to be an analyst, talk football, and he'll be funny with it.
00:58He'll be good and funny.
00:59Yeah.
00:59I'm out.
01:00I think he's an idiot, just like Gronk.
01:02I think it's a different flavor of Gronk.
01:04I'm not interested.
01:06But go ahead.
01:06If you enjoy it, superb.
01:09Can we say that Luka will be trying to get moved from the Lakers because he's looking around saying,
01:16I'm feeling a lot like the Fresh Prince right about now?
01:19No, I don't think so.
01:20I think he's running his own organization.
01:23Look, the LeBron thing was never in his control, and there was a redundancy there.
01:27Now, they didn't go out and get some superstar center, but in the aggregate, they got him very similar to
01:34what he had in Dallas with Gafford and Lively and the rest.
01:39Look, Reeves and Luka are your primaries.
01:42You got some rim runners.
01:43I'm going to say no.
01:45I think he gets to run the Lakers.
01:46That's how it works.
01:47Yeah, no.
01:48This is what he wanted.
01:50He wanted Reeves back.
01:51He wanted these players back.
01:53I would just ask him, do you have a black friend at all?
01:57Okay.
02:00Like, where do we go from there exactly in this segment?
02:03I'm so sorry, guy.
02:04It's my fault.
02:05No, this is what he wanted.
02:06This is a roster that he wanted to assemble.
02:08So you're saying the Lakers have turned into Iowa Hawkeyes basketball.
02:11Gotcha.
02:12Oh, my God.
02:13Okay.
02:15Jeez, you add a couple of white guys and it's a big kerfuffle.
02:18I'll tell you.
02:20What the hell is going on here?
02:23Guys, can we say that unlike last year, the Tigers representatives in the All-Star Games actually deserve to be
02:31there?
02:32Yes.
02:33Dylan Dingler has been the best catcher in baseball.
02:35I don't have a problem with it.
02:37But again, I don't care about the All-Star Game.
02:39I'm not bent out of shape by any of it one way or the other.
02:41And I like that Vlad said he's not going because he doesn't deserve to go.
02:45He's a bum this year.
02:46David?
02:47You're exactly right.
02:49Dylan Dingler should have been a starter, whatever.
02:51I'm not going to argue it with people out here.
02:56All three of them deserve to be there.
02:58Yes.
02:58This is not a pity All-Star selection.
03:01This wasn't everybody turned it down.
03:03So, guess what?
03:04Now you're an All-Star.
03:05And you're an All-Star too.
03:07Speaking of it, let's just stay right there.
03:10Can we say that Major League Baseball has to come up with a different way of picking All-Stars because
03:16you got people starting who are hurt, who stink, but they have a name.
03:21They're a brand.
03:22So, therefore, they're in.
03:25Okay.
03:26Yes.
03:27My overriding thing is you could start the sentence, Major League Baseball has to find a way to dot, dot,
03:34dot, and I could give you 50 things.
03:36The sport blows right now.
03:38So, yeah.
03:39Nice American League.
03:42Real nice.
03:44It's awful.
03:45The product's terrible.
03:46Nobody can hit anymore at all.
03:50It's not fun to watch.
03:52There just aren't enough action plays.
03:56Like, I'm at a point now where I'm lusting for a ground out to second.
04:00It's just too many strikeouts.
04:02Gone are the days where an All-Star actually had All-Star stats.
04:06Yeah, and no, I don't need steroid error.
04:09No, no, no.
04:10But, like, I need a middle ground here because it's just gotten to a point.
04:14Here's the other one.
04:15Everybody and their mama throws 97 and up.
04:19I mean, can you imagine?
04:21Like, I grew up on Maddox and Glavin, and both guys, like, topped out at 93 miles an hour.
04:26It's every goofball.
04:28Oh, we found this guy at a mechanic shop.
04:30Boom, 99 on the gun.
04:33I just, the whole thing is fugazi.
04:36The analytics is just wrecking sports.
04:39Yeah, they have to take the vote away from the fans.
04:42This is why we get certain guys starting, because baseball is so bad right now.
04:47Offense is so bad.
04:48They're just voting for their guy.
04:50Well, it doesn't help when the team broadcasts or putting, you know, scanner codes out there,
04:55like I'm at a grocery store.
04:57Vote Dingler or die.
04:59Oh, okay.
05:00This reminds me of the year Grant Hill left Detroit, and he was hurt, didn't play all year,
05:06but was voted a starter because of the fans.
05:08We have to stop it.
05:09Yeah, none of those fans are in Detroit.
05:12Everybody hated Grant Hill here.
05:14I can never understand that, except for David.
05:17David liked Grant Hill.
05:18That's why he wears those god-awful teal stuff, still, to this day.
05:22Guys, can we say that, based off of what happened with Balagan, that it's going to be the United
05:31States versus the world.
05:32I love it.
05:33Yes, I love it.
05:35It's fantastic.
05:36I don't care.
05:38You know what I love?
05:39I love all the Europeans coming here and realizing how much they get lied to about America.
05:44I love it.
05:45Good.
05:45You don't like us?
05:46Cool.
05:47You wish you lived here.
05:50Belgians.
05:51I don't care.
05:52And you know what?
05:52Here's the other thing.
05:53Can you really get angry over a Belgian?
05:54No, I just, it's laughable.
05:56Like, Belgians are like, they like Europe.
05:58They always think they're better than us.
06:00Oh, really?
06:01Without us, you'd all be speaking Russian.
06:03Here's the point I make.
06:04I don't know what the Belgian equivalent to Drago is.
06:07There isn't one.
06:08It used to be a hazard, but great movie, by the way.
06:12I watched.
06:12I'm just making a point.
06:15Everything in sports is corrupt.
06:17Everything.
06:18So the fact that the president of the United States bodied FIFA into writing a wrong Balagan
06:24should not have drawn a red card.
06:26Now, do I wish that FIFA had made this step in prior World Cups?
06:31Yes.
06:32There were so, I mean, I could cite half a dozen of these.
06:35The point I'm making is, we got our guy back.
06:38I'm not here to watch the ref show.
06:40I'm not here to watch a backup.
06:42I'm here to watch the stars.
06:44Balagan plays.
06:45The United States has an exponentially better shot because he's the best striker we've ever had.
06:50You know what, bonus one.
06:51Do you feel like the referee is going to be out there really watching everything that Balagan does tonight,
06:57waiting to say, you know what, here's a yellow card.
07:00Look, okay.
07:02I'm going to go down a rabbit hole here.
07:04You know all the college football conspiracies about officials and stuff?
07:07No one has endured something I did.
07:09Go, go.
07:09I dare you.
07:10Go to YouTube and pull up 2002 Italy versus South Korea in the World Cup in the round of 16
07:16in South Korea.
07:18That ref was on the take and later got busted for being a drug smuggler.
07:22That guy screwed Italy seven ways to Sunday.
07:25Italy walked out of that stadium pregnant twice.
07:28No plan B.
07:29No plan B.
07:31Full bloom.
07:32I'm just telling you, corruption and FIFA, man, it ain't just a hand-to-God goal in 86.
07:38It is, it's a thing.
07:40So, the fact that we got our guy back after getting screwed, I don't care.
07:46I'm good with it.
07:48I want to see the game tonight where the USA's full strength and I got that.
07:51He shouldn't have gotten a red card.
07:53No, he shouldn't.
07:53It's just weird.
07:54Here's the red card.
07:56There is no appeal.
07:57Wait.
07:57No, there's no appeal.
07:59Okay, actually, we're going to flip the results.
08:01How about Belgium threatening all options are on the table?
08:04Well, then Belgium, no, they went to Lubbock and said, wait a minute.
08:06Hey, there's a judge here that overturns things.
08:09Right, we went to Brussels and we found a guy on a golf course.
08:12Too bad.
08:13Like, I love how all options, oh, if he's on the team sheet tonight, what are you going
08:17to do?
08:17Not play?
08:18Right.
08:18Good.
08:19You had to make your appeal by 5 a.m. this morning.
08:22Wow.
08:24And, yeah.
08:25Quickly.
08:25It did not work out.
08:26Real quick, Mike, can we say that Brandon Ayuk really needs help?
08:32Because he's ticked off Jaden Daniels now.
08:35Yeah, you're going after Jaden Daniels and his mother?
08:38Bold strategy to get a job.
08:41I mean, go to a job interview.
08:43Tell the guy his mom's a hoe.
08:44See if he get hired.
08:46That's the Brandon Ayuk LinkedIn employment strategy.
08:49I have nothing to offer you with Brandon Ayuk.
08:51Every week he's going to be on this because every week he keeps going further and further
08:55down the chili pie.
08:56Chaos.
08:57That's Can We Say That.
08:59That's Can We Say That.
09:00Amen.
