Snoop Dogg stopped by in a guest appearance on ESPN’s “Around The Horn” with J.A. Adande this afternoon. Snoop weighed in on LeBron James possibly leaving Cleveland to go play for Jay-Z’s soon-to-be-Brooklyn Nets and encouraged the move. Woody Paige offered a spirited rebuttal and said Snoop should leave the show (jokingly)…. Snoop laughed and then left.

It was a brief encounter, but it also showed how much BETTER this show would be if they mixed in personalities other than Jay Mariotti and Woody Paige. Check the video….

During an interview with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Deion Sanders a few weeks back, Deion mentioned that Snoop Dogg said hip hop needs an authority figure like Mr. Goodell to oversee things.

While I typically disagree with Roger, I do respect his ability to frighten young black men more than anyone on earth not wearing a badge. So I present to you, a list of things that would happen under Roger’s reign in rap music.

If Roger Goodell were the commissioner of hip hop….

DMX would be banned – So lets get this straight….. he hasn’t released a good album OR a good movie since Aaliyah passed away, he doesn’t know who Barack Obama is, and he’s been arrested five times this year alone??? Roger wouldn’t stand for such foolishness.. BANNED.

If Roger Goodell were the commissioner of hip hop….

You wouldn’t be allowed to diss legends unless you have more than 2 hit albums – Am I the only hip hop fan who gets sick of headlines like “Jim Jones disses Jay-Z”, or “Yung Berg hates 2pac” or something else equally foolish? Who decided it was okay to give these clowns attention? Hip hop culture doesn’t respect it’s elders and Roger simply wouldn’t go for it.

If Roger Goodell were the commissioner of hip hop….

“Video Vixens” can’t release any more tell-all books – It was okay at first, but how many more books are we going to have to endure in this genre? Okay, you gave Lil Wayne head at Summer Jam, now do you have anything else noteworthy to say?… I didn’t think so. Uncle Roger don’t love dem hoez.

Everyone knows Snoop Dogg is a huge fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, he may not be attending as many games as Jack Nicholson but he reps the purple big time (in more ways than one).

Snoop includes names of just about all of the Lakers in the song, complete with shout outs to the late Chick Hearn. There’s even a little jab at the end about Shaquille O’Neal sitting at home on his couch while the lakers are still in contention. Somehow I wish Shaq was still playing, otherwise I may not have had to post that video of him mooning the camera. I’m still having nightmares.
