Snoop revels in role as NFL awards host

Snoop Dogg seemed to love his night hosting the NFL Honors award ceremony.
It began as more like a roast as Snoop picked out some of the game's biggest names and made jokes at their expense.
They enjoyed it at first but Joe Burrow and Sam Darnold looked awkward when Snoop poked fun at Cincinnati's defence and Darnold's former team, the New York Jets.
And the rapper didn't even hold back on the two teams that will be contesting Super Bowl 59.
Some claim NFL officials have been favouring the Kansas City Chiefs so Snoop said that Sunday's game will be an "incredible Super Bowl match-up between the Eagles... and the refs".
He then turned on Philadelphia, saying that "the Chiefs have the chance to do a Super Bowl three-peat for the first time in history. The Eagles have the chance to be liked by the rest of America - also for the first time in history."
The Pittsburgh fan then came back on to the stage wearing a full Steelers uniform and later did a skit with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell which could have been weird but, credit to 'the Comish', it actually ended up being really funny.
Never mind music, perhaps Snoop now needs to give comedy a go.

Bill Belichick quits major TV job ahead of his college football debut
Bill Belichick is a busy man. The eight-time Super Bowl winner is embarking on his debut season coaching college football at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, where he'll also be working with high school campers throughout much of June. And then there is the 73-year-old's robust social life with his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson – something that continues to dominate headlines and much of his schedule. So even though North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham said Belichick could continue making regular appearances on ESPN's Pat McAfee Show and the Monday Night Football Manningcast in 2025, it appears he's dropped at least one of those jobs. 'Obviously, [Belichick] seems busy right now coaching college football,' Peyton Manning told 97.1 The Fan in Columbus, per 'So, he won't be back this year.' Belichick was a regular guest on the Monday Night Football simulcast, which featured brothers Peyton and Eli Manning discussing football over league game. Although Belichick is known to cautious with media as a football coach, his year away from the NFL in 2024 saw the New England Patriots legend embrace his ESPN roles, while frequently making headlines with his commentary. During one October game, Belichick made waves in New York when he attacked Jets owner Woody Johnson over the mid-season firing of head coach Robert Saleh. 'Yeah, well look, that's kind of what it's been there at the Jets,' Belichick responded. 'They've barely won over 30 percent in the last 10 years. The owner being the owner, just ready, fire, aim.' Peyton Manning told 97.1 The Fan that Belichick's input will be missed. 'He'll be hard to replace, like, I thought his insight was great,' the two-time Super Bowl winner said. 'But we'll try to probably go back to, kind of, rotating guests and, you know, having coaches and players, which I always like their insight, but also the actors and musicians that, you know, the common criteria to be a guest is you gotta love football. 'And I love, and Eli and I both love, being around people who love football as much as we do in all different walks of life.' Belichick's future with the Tar Heels took a twist on Sunday after a special clause in his contract kicked in, dropping his buyout from $10 million to $1 million. The clause, which came to light shortly after he signed a five-year contract in Chapel Hill, was considered by many to be an easy escape route back to the NFL.
