BATON ROUGE, La. -- Maybe TreDavious White will someday return a kick or an interception for a touchdown as a pro at Lambeau Field, enabling him to make the traditional Lambeau Leap into the stands at the Green Bay Packers storied stadium.But if he gets such an opportunity in Saturdays game against Wisconsin (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC), the All-SEC cornerback doesnt want to wait until he reaches the NFL. At least thats what he said earlier this week before Tigers coach Les Miles weighed in on the subject.Im pretty much open to whatever punishment thats going to come my way, said White, who turned down the chance to potentially become an early-round NFL draft pick to return for his senior season at LSU. [The penalty is] going to be bad, but I feel like its just a dream of mine, so I guess Ill try to take it and run with it.However, if White or any other Tiger dares to make the leap after a touchdown -- drawing an excessive-celebration penalty that does not apply to pro players Lambeau Leaps -- he had better be wearing comfortable shoes.I promise you that if anybody jumps [for] the Lambeau Leap, theyll end up with their thumb out to see if they can get a ride home, Miles cracked on Wednesdays SEC coaches teleconference.Miles further explained his stance later that evening, noting that it is unacceptable for players to put the team at a disadvantage by drawing the penalty.They certainly realize the issues there, Miles said. So the idea that certainly should we score, the celebration thereafter, if it involved jumping into the stands, then we would kick off from the 20 -- thats not something that we want to have happen. So unless theres a last-minute ruling that says for this one its OK, then itd be OK.Its a shame such a one-time rule does not exist, enabling players in Lambeaus first major college football game to enjoy one of the pro sports great traditions. After all, this is the only time most of these players will ever compete at one of footballs most historic venues.Theyll be playing there in sunny, mid-70s conditions, not on the frozen tundra NFL Films immortalized in its coverage of the legendary Ice Bowl game against the Dallas Cowboys in 1967.Even if cold weather is Green Bays trademark, most LSU players are happy to miss out on that part of the authentic Lambeau experience.Were still South Louisiana boys, said offensive lineman Will Clapp, a New Orleans native. Sixty degrees and were all breaking out the thermal stuff.This will not be the first time the Tigers have played in an NFL stadium. LSUs most recent game, its bowl victory over Texas Tech, took place at the Houston Texans NRG Stadium. The 2014 Tigers played there, too, and also played a bowl game at the Tennessee Titans LP Field. And in 2013, LSU opened the season at the Cowboys AT&T Stadium and ended the season with a bowl win at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Raymond James Stadium.But those stadiums cant match the history associated with Lambeau, where the Packers will play their 60th season this year.Thats where Aaron Rodgers is at. Brett Favre, LSU running back Leonard Fournette said, referring to two of the Green Bay franchises most famous quarterbacks. Those guys, thats the GOATs.Another Greatest of All Time Packer has an LSU connection.Baton Rouge native and former LSU All-American Jim Taylor is one of 24 Packers who have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Taylor was an All-Pro running back in his nine-year Green Bay career, winning four NFL titles and the 1962 Most Valuable Player award.When the Packers add Favre to their Ring of Honor in October, he will join Taylor and the teams 23 other Hall of Famers whose names are listed on the stadiums facade.We want to see the Hall of Fame, we want to see the Jimmy Taylor part and, really, all the greats, certainly, of Green Bay, said Miles, who has never visited Lambeau. Its really, Ive been told, the place where pro footballs really best represented in its infancy and its start, so Im pretty excited about it.Of course Miles would be more excited about leaving Green Bay with a season-opening victory in hand.Playing at Lambeau will be a memorable experience for all involved, but the Tigers cant get too excited about their surroundings and forget about the task at hand. That message seems to have already resonated with the Tigers most notable player.Were coming there for business, to play a game, Fournette said. Its going to be fun to travel and play there, but at the end of the day were coming to get the W, and thats it.Marcin Bulka Jersey . On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title.

Victor Moses Chelsea Jersey .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back.LOS ANGELES -- Kobe Bryant admitted to watching a few games during the first week of the NBA season. But playing again? Not a chance. He doesnt miss it.Not even a little bit, Bryant said Tuesday morning at the launch of his latest signature Nike shoe, the Kobe A.D.Its strange to think a couple years ago, to be in this emotional space would be unfathomable. But I mean not even a smidge, which Im very thankful for, because its made my transition seamless and I can really just watch and just enjoy the games.Bryant said he has thrown himself into his new business ventures during the first six months of his retirement from the NBA, while at the same time embracing the reality of his death as a basketball player. He decided to launch this latest shoe on Dia de los Muertos, Day of the Dead, in recognition of the transition stage he finds himself in, at age 38.What it means to me is the balance of both things, Bryant said of the Mexican holiday, which is also celebrated in Los Angeles. You gotta be able to have the balance between the light and the dark. Youve got to be able to have death in order to have life. Its finding the balance of both things and finding the beauty in both of those things.Asked how closely he has followed the NBA -- in particular the incredible individual performances by Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Kawhi Leonard -- in the first week of the new season, Bryant said, Ive been followiing it.dddddddddddd I wouldnt say closely, but if Im home and I have a chance to put the game on, and Im home, Ill put the game on. I kind of know generally who is winning and who is losing.Players have been playing phenomenally well, which is rare. Normally at the start of the season you kind of have to work yourself into a rhythm. This year they just came out of the gates smoking. Thats rare.He also has followed the efforts by NBA players like Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul, to use their platform to promote social justice.I think its great. What Ive tried to do on the back end of that is help the youth understand what those issues are, Bryant said. What is the system that can help you understand what those issues are? Its one thing to say we need change, but what does that actually look like? What are the issues that we need to vote on and understand?When pressed on whether he would endorse a presidential candidate in the upcoming election, Bryant said, I think we dont all have to randomly guess the side of the fence that Im on. For those that support the opposite of what you believe my point of view should be -- and if youve known me for many years, I think you know which candidate Im supporting -- then God bless you man. Thats your point of view. ' ' '
