00:00It's Monday.
00:01It's Can We Say That.
00:02David.
00:12Yes, Rico.
00:14You know, based off of what I just saw on the monitor,
00:18can we say that I – are you getting tired of this Aaron Donald flirtation?
00:24Either you're going to be a Ram or you're not,
00:27but I don't need to know every time you walk past a Ram's facility.
00:31Yes.
00:32It's getting tiresome.
00:33Yeah, it's attention whoring.
00:34But that's 2026 where, I don't know,
00:38it just seems like people weren't hugged enough as kids.
00:40I just assume he's coming back.
00:42So I ignore all the rest.
00:44See, I thought Aaron Donald was beyond that.
00:46I really did.
00:47He didn't have to do all this attention whoring stuff.
00:49Just make a decision.
00:51Sure you do.
00:52Doesn't he have a series coming out on –
00:54See.
00:54Dude-to-dude TV streaming.
00:57You never know anymore.
00:58I don't know.
00:58You're right.
00:59You're right.
00:59I wish the Rams would just give them a date and say,
01:02tell us by then or don't come back.
01:05I'm with you, but, yeah, you just see it all the time.
01:08All right.
01:09Can we say – I asked David a question earlier, Michael.
01:12Can we say, based off of preseason game number one –
01:16and I know you don't put a lot into preseason.
01:18Nobody does.
01:18I do not.
01:19Jackson Dart won't make it the entire season.
01:22Oh, we can say that.
01:25His middle name is Jackson Blue Tent Dart.
01:28He got upset and said that, yeah, he doesn't like the fact that he respects the blue tent
01:33and the people who have to take him in there, but he's getting a little sick of it.
01:36Yeah, well, too bad.
01:38Stop being reckless.
01:39Stop taking nine million hits.
01:41You know the eye in the sky is going to say he needs to be evaluated.
01:43Plus, he's been red flagged.
01:46The concussions.
01:47Oh, right now, I don't know.
01:49I'll be happy if he plays six games at this point.
01:51It was week one.
01:53He's getting obliterated in a preseason game.
01:56Who missed the block?
01:57A running back.
01:59He never saw it.
02:01He did not.
02:02This is the exhibition, man.
02:04Dude, the guy came in like Bruce Lee.
02:05I thought he was going to karate kick him in the skull.
02:08The highlight was unbelievable.
02:10I had to watch it three times.
02:11I'm just like, oh, no.
02:13Oh, no.
02:14It was like the Matrix.
02:15No.
02:18I know.
02:19I think Dart and Scadaboo are going to lose a bet to each other to see who can actually
02:24run through a brick wall, and they're going to miss the rest of the season.
02:28At least this one wasn't his fault, though.
02:30He just got creeped.
02:32But he plays records.
02:33And then you laid there on the logo like, dude, come on.
02:35You got to get up.
02:35Got to get up quickly.
02:36Act like it didn't hurt you.
02:37It did.
02:41David's opting out.
02:42He said enough.
02:43I'm watching it again.
02:44Can I ask one?
02:46Yeah.
02:47Can we say we no longer can allow people or leagues to investigate themselves only to
02:54come out and say you'll never believe it?
02:56We didn't find anything.
02:57Adam Silver's robust investigation.
03:00He must have hired the same firm Michigan did.
03:03Oh, we didn't find anything wrong.
03:05And the league's richest owner didn't try to circumvent the cap and gain an advantage with
03:11Kawhi when we all know what it seems like, sounds like, feels like.
03:15Michael, I was going to end with that one, but we're here now because I was going to
03:19say, can we say that the NBA learned from Major League Baseball on how to deal with issues
03:24they don't want to be issues?
03:26Looking at you, Shohei.
03:28Oh, no, no, no.
03:29Not him.
03:30Interpreter.
03:31Not him.
03:32Ballmer?
03:33No, no, no, no, no.
03:33He's a cool dude.
03:34He's a good dude.
03:35Good dude.
03:35I just don't believe it.
03:37I think this is BS.
03:39It's all BS.
03:40Go ahead, guys.
03:40I'm sorry.
03:41No, it is.
03:42I just want to know if we're going to get a report.
03:44But no, this is ridiculous.
03:46I laughed when he hits me and released his story because I'm like, oh, okay, convenient.
03:51They're not going to say anything and they're not going to do anything.
03:55This is all, it's all a joke.
03:56The only thing I thought was weird is in the same report, it also says they might still face
04:00some punishments.
04:00And I'm like, for what?
04:01You guys just found out they didn't do anything.
04:03No, they won't.
04:04Right.
04:04So what's the punishment?
04:05I'm with you.
04:06I saw that and was like, wow.
04:08And here's the other thing, too.
04:09I think, say the quiet part out loud.
04:12Silver can't drop the hammer on Ballmer because Ballmer is essentially Ward Manuel.
04:17He knows where the bodies are buried.
04:18A lot of these dudes who own teams are scumbags.
04:21So you think Ballmer would go quietly?
04:24Why don't you go pull up his Microsoft video sweating through his shirt like he's at a nightclub
04:28clapping and screaming, developers, developers, developers.
04:31The guy would drop bombs on people on the way out the door.
04:35I'm quite sure.
04:36The crosshairs would move from him a little southwest down to Phoenix.
04:40Uh-oh.
04:44Can we say the Raiders will do Raiders-like things and start Fernando Mendoza week one?
04:54Yes.
04:56Based off of this preseason game, I see this happening.
05:00Like, he's going to start week one.
05:02This is going to be the Raiders.
05:05No.
05:06O'Connell, I think, is actually going to get it.
05:08It's Kirk Cousins.
05:09Oh, boy.
05:11Haven't heard good things from him in camp.
05:13So I think it's going to be O'Connell.
05:14They cannot do Mendoza.
05:16Can't do it.
05:17Yes, you can.
05:17David, if you reached O'Connell level.
05:19Can't do it.
05:19You took him first overall.
05:21You can do it.
05:22Oh, no.
05:23Oh, Cam Ward shouldn't have started the season.
05:25He shouldn't do it, okay?
05:27I'll say it that way.
05:29Yeah, but he's going to because they're the Raiders.
05:30They want the publicity.
05:31And he's the number one pick.
05:32He's the number one pick.
05:33Him and Kirk Cousins are going to have a milk commercial.
05:37A milk.
05:40Two weirdos.
05:41With Otto.
05:42All right.
05:45Disgusted with Jeremy Otto, too.
05:46Keep it going.
05:48Can we say that the Raiders will not look the same
05:52because the Buss family is selling the Lakers.
05:55I mean, I'm sorry, the Lakers.
05:56I'm sorry.
05:57The Lakers will not look the same
05:59because the Buss family is selling their stake in the team.
06:03Yeah, I mean, yeah, but this is the problem.
06:06Everyone viewed the Lakers, and rightfully to a point,
06:09as this gold standard.
06:12The problem is they were a small family business.
06:16They were a little bit of a lemonade stand.
06:18So I'm going to say no because the market demands it,
06:22and the team's cachet demands it.
06:26You can't buy the Lakers and run it like the Milwaukee Bucks.
06:30So I'm going to say no to this one.
06:36I don't know really what to say to this one
06:38because I'm still a little shocked that they're selling their 17%.
06:42I thought they would always somehow still be involved with the Lakers.
06:46Right.
06:46They cashed out, David.
06:48So, yeah.
06:49They saw this as an opportunity to say.
06:51That's what they're saying.
06:52Nice knowing you.
06:53They said time to just cut ties with it.
06:56So they're going to be a little different.
06:58Yes, they will be.
07:00I'm going to say yes because it's crazy that the Lakers,
07:03one of the historic franchises in the NBA,
07:06have been flipped like a house for like the last 18 months between ownership.
07:10Now you've got guys that don't really have any business in the NBA running it now.
07:15It's going to be very weird.
07:17It's now private equity.
07:18That's what the Lakers are.
07:20Can we say if they're smart, unless they want the number one overall pick,
07:25the Arizona Cardinals should really slow play Jeremiah Love.
07:29He's got a high ankle sprain, and he's really all you got.
07:33Wouldn't play him until October.
07:35There's no purpose.
07:35I mean, if you want to see what he really is, go ahead.
07:38But I could save you 300 carries behind that O-line.
07:42Otherwise, you may as well pop on the tape of Saquon's time in New York.
07:46There's no purpose.
07:47You're running into a brick wall.
07:49Here.
07:49Here's Jeremiah Love.
07:51It's Ashton Shenty in a body cast.
07:53Last year, the guy was getting hit three yards behind the line of scrimmage.
07:57That's exactly what it is.
07:58Right now, it's a high ankle sprain.
08:00It will be something else later on if you continue to play him.
08:03I'm with Mike.
08:04October.
08:05You don't need to rush this thing at all.
08:07They should rest him as much as they can because the pick was stupid to begin with.
08:11When you're rebuilding your franchise, your first pick that's kicked things off shouldn't be a running back.
08:15I've heard that.
08:17I've lived it.
08:19But yeah, can we say maybe the Rams weren't as stupid as we thought they were with their first round
08:28draft pick of Ty Simpson?
08:29Maybe they may have lucked into something.
08:32No, you're a jerk.
08:33This is simple.
08:34You're in a Super Bowl window.
08:36You're in win now mode and you got gifted a pick because a stupid team traded it to you.
08:40You take a player that can help you now.
08:42You got a 40-year-old quarterback.
08:44You're the best team in the league.
08:45I don't give a damn about the future.
08:48Go win the damn thing and then burn the stadium down.
08:50It was a stupid pick at 13.
08:52How dare you ask this?
08:53You know better.
08:55Did you see his game, Mike?
08:57It's preseason.
08:58But man.
09:00Completing passes on Paul Serra.
09:02And you want me to care?
09:04I don't know, man.
09:05Completing passes against future Lake Okeechobee residents.
09:08That's correct.
09:10Can we say...
09:12Oh, David, did you have something?
09:13Can we say that maybe the Buffalo Bills should have taken an extra year to build this stadium?
09:19It feels like it, doesn't it?
09:20Yeah.
09:21The surface sucks.
09:22Yeah.
09:22The crazy block seating.
09:25I don't know, man.
09:26But hey, they managed to grift the fans with all those personal seat licenses.
09:31I guess the joke's on us.
09:33People lined up dutifully.
09:35Yeah, they did.
09:36And now it's been nothing but complaints coming from that stadium, from the players now.
09:43I mean, you just built this thing.
09:46Yeah.
09:46Well, look, it could still end up being nice.
09:49My biggest issue, the league really just has to really demand natural grass.
09:56Come on.
09:56Protect the players.
09:57Protect your asset.
09:59You just saw Jamal Adams blow out again.
10:01Like, dude, just stop with this.
10:03Will you please?
10:04Multi-use.
10:05You got to have concerts there.
10:06They are playing outdoors.
10:07There should not be a turf.
10:09It should be grass.
10:10Then we wouldn't have to worry about the bad playing surface.
10:14I'm with you guys.
10:16All right, finally, can we say that the Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns will be rotating
10:21quarterbacks all season long?
10:25Sure.
10:26Might get someone from the stands.
10:28I don't, yeah.
10:29It's just, I got nothing for you.
10:31It's a shame with Atlanta because they have everything in place except the quarterback position.
10:36But, I mean, did you see what Penick said?
10:40Oh, my doctor told me I'd be just fine.
10:42Won't have any other issues.
10:43It's like, dude, you don't have any cartilage left in your knee.
10:46What are we doing?
10:48Kind of sounds like, yeah, don't bet against me to be on the pup list.
10:53And then the way Tua played in the preseason, it's like, oh, man, the Falcons could be a
10:58sneaky top five pick in the draft if their quarterback situation plays out the way it's been played.
11:02As crazy as it sounds, Paul, it might be the best thing for that franchise.
11:06Actually, yes, because there's a lot of talent around them.
11:08They're on that treadmill of mediocrity.
11:09They've got to get a QB who doesn't make much money.
11:12Reinsulate.
11:13You're going to be paying Bijan a ton, Drake London a ton, a couple very expensive defensive pieces.
11:19They're on the road to nowhere.
11:21I mean, I gave Rico's guy a shot.
11:22I'm not mad about it.
11:23It's just he can't stay healthy.
11:25And Tua, forget it.
11:26I think Tua's confidence is just shot.
11:28See, I thought Tua was going to do like Kyler Murray, new place, and you'll flourish.
11:33Because you're right.
11:34You have all the weapons there.
11:37You're not in Miami anymore.
11:39And I guess not.
11:40Doesn't matter.
11:40Well, the problem is, though, is that as his time went on in Miami, all the injuries racked up to
11:44the point.
11:44He can't really physically throw a football more than 20 yards down the field accurately with any zip.
11:50And David, I know you're heartbroken over the Browns, right?
11:54I don't even, I don't even need is the Browns.
11:57When you bring up the Browns, David sounds like Tupac from hit him up.
12:00You just can't.
12:01You're not getting anywhere there.
12:02That is just immediate rage.
12:05I thought maybe he'd say something.
12:07I mean, they look just as awful at quarterback.
12:09They are.
12:10That's expected.
12:11They are.
12:12And now they also got rid of the heart of the franchise.
12:15The Browns and Dolphins could be just excruciatingly terrible this year.
12:21We should make a bet and put it up on the board.
12:23Who's going to end up the worst team?
12:26We all know.
12:26Everybody picks the Rams to win it all.
12:28Y'all, we should have a bet and let's pick the worst team in the league and the winner.
12:34I don't know.
12:35The losers got about lunch for the winner.
12:37I can do that.
12:38I got to ponder this.
12:40Takes a lot to be that bad.
12:43All right.
12:43That is.
12:44Can we say that?
