Born and raised in Los Angeles, Snoop's West Coast roots might suggest he'd bleed Rams or Chargers blue. However, his love for the Steelers began in the 1970s, watching Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw, Joe Greene, and Jack Lambert dominate the gridiron.
"Snoop's fascination with Pittsburgh's blue-collar work ethic, combined with the team's swagger and championship pedigree, forged an unbreakable bond," says Steelers Nation's editor, Jim Wexell.
