Nickelodeon game and sports

Ezekiel Elliott, high personality CeeDee lamb is like a Nickelodeon character in real life. You already mentioned George Kittle, Deebo Samuel. We know those guys. That way, kids can grow and learn the sport even better. NE: Honestly, I think it connects people now moving forward. When you learn history, you can connect with more people of different ages.

SpongeBob is a perfect example. SpongeBob is an all-time TV character on any network across any sort of platform. But for someone who maybe is seven or eight years old right now, if they go back and watch old SpongeBob episodes from when I was a kid, we can connect over that.

We can bond over that. In theory, it brings us all together, and it bonds us. And so now we can kind of help cultivate some of those relationships for some of those people out there. CBS Sports : This a new experience for both of you with Gabby getting introduced to football broadcasting and you, Noah, working with Nickelodeon.

What is it like for you to tackle this new challenge and go out of your comfort zone professionally while also entertaining people in the process? And so for me, this was a great thing to add in , was the Nickelodeon Wild Card game, which had never been done before.

Now, can we raise that? NE: The more personality the better, because it's Nickelodeon. We have tons of players who are huge personalities, and I feel like that's really gonna help our broadcast because we can kind of feed off of their energy and they can feed off of ours. And I feel like it's gonna make it even more interesting and even more engaging. And it's not just the personalities; It's the teams themselves. These are historically great NFL franchises.

So, to have that and to be able to share some of the history of the league with maybe some kids who aren't aware of Dwight Clark's catch or Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith, and basically the fact that these two teams were battling to win the Super Bowl in the same conference every year through the 90s is going to be great as well.

But from the personality standpoint, we got pretty much a dream matchup. Dak Prescott is as personable as you're going to find, is as well-liked and well-respected around the NFL as you'll find. Ezekiel Elliott, high personality CeeDee lamb is like a Nickelodeon character in real life. So that's just the Cowboys offense alone. Micah Parsons — who's going to win Defensive Rookie of the Year this year, bar none — he is, if you had a chance to watch some of the off-field clips that he's had already, he is very colorful, and that's what we want.

That's what we're looking for. You already mentioned George Kittle, Deebo Samuel. We know those guys. It's going to be a fun game to be a part of, and the personalities only help make our job even easier. What's it going to be like for you to reintroduce some of those historic moments to an audience that likely doesn't have much history with them?

NE: For Gabby, I think it'll be an interesting perspective. Because Gabby, last year, you came into that game in New Orleans, and you essentially were asking us questions about what's going on on the field. Well, this year, you can kind of ask us about the history of the NFL, and we can convey some of that to maybe other kids around the country that don't know football quite as well. And so it's another aspect that we get to share with everybody. GG: And just kind of bouncing off, my job last year was to be the voice of kids that are new to sports and don't really know as much about sports because Nate and Noah are the experts.

But it's my job to kind of connect with the kids and ask questions that may seem silly but someone at home is definitely thinking. And I think — especially with this matchup — it's going to be important for us to connect with the audience again and kind of convey the history that these two teams have.

That way, kids can grow and learn the sport even better. NE: Honestly, I think it connects people now moving forward.

When you learn history, you can connect with more people of different ages. So, let's take a Nickelodeon show that everybody loves. SpongeBob is a perfect example. SpongeBob started when I was a really young kid — that's when I was first on the air.

And it's still going because it is legendary beyond legendary, right? SpongeBob is an all-time TV character on any network across any sort of platform. You can't top it, in my opinion. But for someone who maybe is seven or eight years old right now, if they go back and watch old SpongeBob episodes from when I was a kid, we can connect over that.

We can bond over that. So now if we're teaching kids about the rivalry of the 90s of the Cowboys and the Niners and they're learning about it, now they can connect with an older sibling or cousin or someone they meet.

And that's my favorite part about sports, right? In theory, it brings us all together, and it bonds us. And so now we can kind of help cultivate some of those relationships for some of those people out there.

Trevor Lawrence finished his rookie season with Lawrence finished with 3, yards passing, 12 touchdowns, 22 turnovers - five fumbles lost, for a Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch released statements regarding their decision to fire Joe Judge after two seasons.

What is it like for you to tackle this new challenge and go out of your comfort zone professionally while also entertaining people in the process? GG: It's great, it's fresh, it's new. It's everything that I'm about because I don't like to be put in a box.

I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I love challenging myself and trying things that maybe I normally wouldn't have.

So, this is a really great exercise for me to kind of exercise a muscle that I didn't even know I had last year. NE: A wise man once told me if it doesn't completely terrify you at first then don't do it. And so this was something that, I don't know if any of us were terrified or anything like that last year, but there was a nervous energy when we first thought about it because no one knew what this was supposed to look or sound like.

And then we realized pretty quickly — and I think Gabby would agree — we went through the rehearsal the day before, and when we went through that we all kind of stepped back and said, oh, this is gonna be, it's gonna be really good. This is going to be really easy with all of us; we're going to have no issues whatsoever. And that's exactly what happened. So, to me, it's important to continue to challenge yourself. It's important to continue to step into other realms and keep everything interesting and fresh.

And something that I've always wanted to do in my career is add something different and new every year. And so for me, this was a great thing to add in , was the Nickelodeon Wild Card game, which had never been done before. Now, can we raise that? Can we do more with it now that we're a little bit more comfortable?

How can we add to it?
