00:00And look who's back. Eves is here. I'm Nicole. The power is on. The boots are apparently firing.
00:05Let's give some extra love to week one of college football.
00:08We shall do that. Plus, Shohei back for the Dodgers. A matinee shutout in Philly.
00:12And tennis, anyone? Of course. SportsCenter. Serving it up right now.
00:17All right. Cheers, America. Last call. Did you miss me last night? It's fine.
00:22So, I like horse racing. You love dogs.
00:25What we have here is like the perfect comedy.
00:27So, I have something for you. Canterbury Park in Minnesota, they had a best-in-show dog race.
00:32Okay? Now, there's so much chaos here, but just check out the guy on the top.
00:36That's Spud, right? That's Spud.
00:38Okay. And then all of a sudden, right at the wire, another dog tries to take him out.
00:42He does a nose dive across the finish line.
00:44But, like, we show you the replay. That's the definition of winning by a nose.
00:48Spud is like, hey, get off me. But he did win.
00:51He did. He won by a nose.
00:52You know what he got to eat?
00:54I'm guessing some sort of meat.
00:55Hamburger. He got meat.
00:56Wait.
00:57Hamburger.
00:58Hold on. Is that meat over?
00:59But this is the problem I had.
01:00Check out this.
01:01This is rigged.
01:02He drove him right to the rail.
01:05There'd be an inquiry on this race.
01:07And look too fast, because look how quickly he comes back.
01:09That's what I'm saying.
01:10Like, he could have cost that other dog the win or himself.
01:13I would like to bring Spud home.
01:15Why?
01:15Just add him to my suit.
01:17The best thing you need is another animal to house.
01:19Oh, indeed.
01:20But that's – I want all of the dogs.
01:23All of that.
01:24This is something we never say.
01:25Good morning.
01:27Briscoe and Eve's here on SportsCenter.
01:2999 back in pinstripes for a while in the Bronx.
01:32And close your eyes, Briscoe.
01:33Things didn't go well in Milwaukee.
01:35Things didn't go well for us today either, but they were amazing in Flushing.
01:38This is SportsCenter.
01:39Joe, first of all, considering all the hype, I guess, coming into the season for you guys,
01:45what was it like not just to win the game, but in some regards, Leonard,
01:48to get it over with and just get the season started?
01:52Yeah.
01:53It's been about 273.
01:55This game, the Wisconsin coach said something I don't think I've ever heard from an opposing coach before.
01:59He said that their roster, maybe they're the best team in the country.
02:04What did you think your roster proved to the rest of the country in that opening game?
02:09I mean, we proved that we got talented.
02:12Green Bay, so that stadium they got to play in Lambeau Field, you know, that's a cool place to play.
02:17It also was the first college football game at Lambeau in like a decade.
02:21So for you, what was that experience like?
02:25Oh, yeah.
02:26Amazing experience, amazing atmosphere.
02:29I don't care if it's September or December, it looks cold.
02:33Did it just feel colder in there than any stadium we've ever played in September?
02:37It's a mindset.
02:39Actually not, because I'm used to playing, you know, I'm used to playing in this cold down in Notre Dame.
02:43So whether we got there, that was perfect football weather.
02:46That's true, for real.
02:47You guys moved up in the rankings.
02:49Again, we're going into week two, and it's a long season.
02:53But considering how last season ended and the expectations, like, how do you not?
02:58How do you not pay attention to the rankings when it's all over television?
03:01It's all on social media.
03:02Your friends are paying attention to it.
03:04Like, how is it possible to drown all that out?
03:09I think it starts just with, no.
03:13We're going to see the rankings, but it really don't matter to us.
03:16Fair enough.
03:16Okay, so this weekend you guys get rice.
03:18You get to play at home this weekend.
03:19I do want to get your thoughts, though, on what is arguably – I mean, it is.
03:25It's the biggest game of this weekend.
03:27You've got Ohio State and Texas in Austin.
03:31When you've got that sort of a big matchup this early in the season, like, as just a fan of
03:37the game,
03:37what are you expecting from that game?
03:41I'm expecting to see two great teams go at it at a great second.
03:46Leonard's got a lot going on for him.
03:48I'm just sorry he's a Browns fan.
03:49Hey, we all have a bear to cross, my man.
03:52But speaking of games, though, speaking of games, for you, you're on the cover of EA Sports College Football 27.
03:59I mean, there are a few people on there, but ain't everybody on there.
04:03What would that mean to you to see yourself on that cover with all those other great players?
04:09It was really –
04:10It'd be the dad or my girlfriend.
04:12So I don't know which one you got, Leonard, but I know it's one of the two.
04:15You can flip back and forth.
04:16I got the girlfriend.
04:17There you go.
04:17You got the girlfriend.
04:18You can flip back and forth.
04:18By the way, his girlfriend's a baller, by the way.
04:21Well, that's why –
04:22Soccer star.
04:23There we go.
04:23She is.
04:25Leonard, thank you very much for your time.
04:27Good luck this weekend.
04:28We'll see you.
04:28This is a SportsCenter.
04:29Wrapping up season's first NFL Sunday.
04:32And friend of the show, Justin Jefferson is going to drop by to talk an impressive Vikings win over the
04:37Packers.
04:37Sorry, Mom, but we begin with the nightcap.
04:40Please explain this.
04:41Okay, so if a contact is made as the passer is throwing the ball and the ball drops back, it
04:48doesn't matter where the ball goes.
04:50It could be forward or pass or it could land on somebody.
04:52By the way, I can barely hold it.
04:53She has a bad shoulder.
04:54But still, that's the point.
04:56If contact is made while he's doing this, then it's a forward pass.
05:00Even if it's going backwards, it's still a forward pass because of the contact.
05:03By the way, I can barely hold this with my hand.
05:06This is pathetic.
05:07I have tiny hands.
05:08Let's go this way.
05:09It's Tom.
05:11Last call.
05:11Cheers.
05:12So you know how we love Ben Shelton and Trinity Rodman.
05:16We do.
05:16Like one of our favorite couples.
05:17But guess who else loves them?
05:19Who?
05:20Alexander Zara.
05:23It is pretty cool to see when you have two successful people who go out of their way to support
05:28one another, even when it makes no sense.
05:31Like Trinity Rodman stayed up until, what, 4 o'clock in the morning and then was still training a few
05:35hours later.
05:35So it's really cool to see two people who truly understand what the other is going through and they're still
05:40making the effort for each other.
05:42She played her own professional sporting event and then made her way to her man's sporting event in a different
05:48city.
05:48And in fairness, he has gone around the world for her as well, which is very cool to see.
05:52You know what that is?
05:53Love.
05:55And respect and admiration.
05:56That is love.
05:57And all of those things.
05:58I mean, to do that and then, yeah.
06:01It's cool to see it from Bam and Asia as well.
06:04Yes.
06:05Same idea.
06:06Yes.
06:07Yes.
06:07So we can all learn from that, I think.
06:10I'm not doing all that at the gauge, though.
06:12I'll see it on TV.
06:14I'm sorry, Crystal.
06:16My wife wouldn't come watch me either, though.
06:17Let's be right.
06:24Let's be right.
06:48asking.
07:02That's right.
07:05Let's be right.
07:08Let's do it.
07:10Let's talk about it.
07:10Let's go.
