Tonight’s E:60 episode (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) includes features on Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis (reported by Rachel Nichols), U.S.Olympian and London bronze medalist Kellie Wells (Lisa Salters) and Los Angeles Dodgers star Matt Kemp (Chris Connelly).

In the “Front & Center” podcast above, Front Row caught up with Connelly to discuss his piece on Kemp. From Kemp’s relationship with pop star Rihanna to the signing of an 8-year, $160 million deal with the Dodgers, Connelly offers his impressions of the centerfielder’s ability to handle the role of being LA’s “face of the franchise.”
