LOOK: Eli Manning has hilarious reaction to unusual gift from Snoop Dogg
Snoop Dogg came to the Manning Cast broadcast on Monday night bearing a special gift for host Eli Manning. The world-famous rapper from California presented the former New York Giants quarterback with a necklace for his 41st birthday.
The chain featured a Death Row Records pendant, the former label of the multi-platinum star. It’s hard to imagine Eli Manning donning the piece of jewelry, but he was certainly stunned by it.
Snoop was just one of the big-name guests on the Manning Cast.
Monday night’s program featured NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Steelers Hall of Fame coach Bill Cowher, NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and, of course, Snoop Dogg.
A longtime sports fan, Snoop Dogg’s son was a highly recruited college football prospect who committed to play for UCLA. However, after his commitment, he did not report for Fall training camp.
Snoop has been active across multiple sports as a personality, serving as DJ for the 2017 NHL All-Star Game. He also provided highlight commentary for the recent 2020 Summer Olympics with NBC.
