teams, beamer ball. still alive andwell. hokies block the punt and it's returned for the touchd n. virginia tech on top 17-3 at the half. same score in the fourth quarter. bighird and seven for the hokies. jackson rolls out, hey, there's eric for the first down,nd then some. he's ne. hey, forest park h hrepresent! 49-yard touchdown. hokies with a big season-opening win on the road, 24-3. >> wow. >> over florida ste. now, up a level, redskins king moves today, signing defensive lineman caleb brantley, who was cut by the browns after playing 12 games with them in his 2017 rookie season. you remember he was taken in the sixth round, draprojecte to go igher in that draft, b dropped because of a battery charge against him that was dropped. all right, labor day is another reminder of the season that wasn't for the nationals. a year agomet this the

nationals were in first place with a 15-game lead in the national league east. there was reason to believe they would be in a similar position th year. instead, it's about playing for pride instead of position. wand that pride on display against this afternoon against the cardinals. max scherzer on the mound. gave up a couple of early runs, but then, oh, the rikeouts. they came acoming. 15th time this season scherzer rikes out ten or more in a game. today, it was 11, but who's counting? he goes seven innings, gives up three runs, but for all this, actually in line for the loss until this. bottom of the ninth, bryce er at the plate. the nationals down two runs. down to their last two outs, and harper says,hey, no no, we're not going home. this is a two-run, game-tying home run to cenr field. playing for pride. we're all knotted at three. we're going to extra innings. and in the tenth, bryce harper's at t plate ain. he doesn't need the long ball. hey, just a sac p kr c fly to i and that's what he does.

nats beat the cardinals 4-3 and now backe at .500 on thason. all right. cincinnati reds mtring a e, but we're talking t-shirts, not players. joey vot toe wearing a vot toe for president shirt, part of his nike campaign in 2012. votoe saw a chance to get a shirt back and traded the fan ao aphed jersey. not a bad deal at all. vot toe is canadian, so, he has to r for prime minister, but you get the idea. he got the shirt back. they couldn't cop him a shirt? >> that's great. >> he's got a fan for life, that's for sure. >> thank you,
