Snoop Dogg is a huge football fan and coach of his own youth league team so it was only right that he was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday (February 3) while the host is in Indianapolis for Super Bowl week.
If he hadn't become a rapper Snoop definitely could have been a comedian. His advice to the New York Giants and New England Patriots before the big game is to fly the friendly skies.
"You know when the game gets real tight you know a lot of people get nervous and tight, but if you're flying like I'm flying you're gonna be real calm," he joked.
The Doggfather also broke down his youtube news GGN News where he serves as the host Nemo Hoes.
"That was something that I created because I was watching news and I kept seeing the same thing over and over, it was boring. It was like they was bringing bad news and I wanted to bring some hood news--some news that felt good from a different perspective. And I created a character named Nemo Hoes because I was finding nemo, and it just happened," he explained.
Lastly Snoop showed Jimmy his touchdown celebration called the "pee on the tree."

The 25-year old budding superstar is back with a new project Art Dealer Chic, Vol. 1 which is set to drop February 27, 2012.
The first song and video off of the project is "Adorn."
The visual for “Adorn” is the projection of a dream I recently had. I wanted to use simple creative elements in a symbolic way to communicate the intense desire to understand its meaning.
Check out the artwork for the project painted by Miguel himself and video for "Adorn" below.
Lil Kim probably has a few accountants she would like to have words with. TMZ is reporting that the Queen Bee owes Uncle Sam $1,026,862.42 in back taxes.
According to the report Kim failed to pay taxes every year from 2002-2009.
On the positive side of things Kim is expected to put out new music this year, hopefully she will be able to get this situation turned around.
Tracy Morgan has broken his silence and released a statement regarding the ugly fallout between himself and his mother.
As we previously reported, Tracy's mom Alicia Warden alleges she asked her son, who is reportedly worth $18 million dollars for help paying off less than $25,000 she owes on her Youngstown, Ohio home to stop pending foreclosure proceedings. She is 61-years old and lost her job last year. Her unemployment benefits have run out. Foreclosure proceeding will begin later this month if she doesn't come up with the money.
Alicia Warden's home
Alicia says Tracy's accountant called her back and offered a one shot offer from Tracy of $2000, which she turned down out of pride.

“I told her, ‘Thank you, but no thank you. I’m not some person in the street,” Warden told the New York Daily News. “That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. God don’t like ugly. Karma comes back to you.”
Morgan responded by issuing a statement calling the claims untrue.
"I am saddened that these untrue stories about me have people questioning my commitment to my family," read the statement sent to Ohio CBS affiliate WKBN-TV. "For reasons that are between us I have not seen my mother in 11 years, and outside of a random call here and there have had little to no contact with my sister. We all have personal family issues that we have to deal with in life, but I choose to deal with mine in private and not through the media."
His mother is not backing down from her claims, and says Tracy just isn't telling the truth.
"There's nothing for me to lie about," Warden said. "People are saying that we're airing our dirty laundry, but he's the one who wrote about us first," says Warden, referring to the book Tracy wrote 'I Am the New Black.' "He can't keep telling lies and expect me to be quiet about it. He basically made me look like a prostitute. Everything in his book is a total lie."
Alicia says that if she loses her home she will go live in a shelter.
"If the worst happens then I'm in the streets," she said. "I'm not going to live with anyone. They got their own children and families. So I'll go to a shelter."
Tracy Morgan and his mom in happier times
This is a truly sad situation that doesn't seem to be getting any better.

Mannie Fresh is one of the most well known and respected producers in the game. He was responsible for almost all of Cash Money Records early hits. "Bling Bling," "The Block Is Hot," "Go DJ," "Ha," "Back That Azz Up" and countless other songs that put the record label on the map were all produced by Mannie. Now a free agent the New Orleans native might have found a new recording home.
He sat down with HipHopDX recently to talk about his future plans. While he was hesitant to reveal too much, he did mention that he has been in talks with Kanye West G.O.O.D Music label.
DX: Going back to that [tour] clip, you’re seen in there giving a nice little motivational speech to the G.O.O.D. Music fam. So does this mean you’re officially G.O.O.D. Music in-house yourself now?
Mannie Fresh: Well, we working that out. I’m kind of funny about signing with people. Dude, I’ve been through so much. And I’m not saying I think Kanye is a bad person, but I can’t tell you what that is right now. It’s really on me, and what space I’m in. I’m not saying that I wouldn’t do it, but it’s gotta be something that makes sense for me.
DX: Was any sort of formal offer put forward, or any extending of the hand saying “If you want to, come on”?
Mannie Fresh: I can’t really say if [there was]. It’s one of them things where – Let me just put it like this, Kanye is kinda mysterious about the things that he do. And I can’t really let no cats out the bag. I’m sorry to give you an answer like that, but I can’t really say what’s in the works. Y’all just gotta wait to see what happens.
To read the rest of the interview head over to HipHopDX.
