TeeRoy's 2 Cents?:
- Weezy's passion for sports are so strong, you can feel it through the screen.
- Having a guy like Wayne in the booth always adds a certain unpredictability -- you never know what the guy is gonna say next.
- Most rappers dream of being ball players and most ball players dream of being rappers.
Lil Wayne has taken his talents from one booth to another — from the recording studio to the broadcast desk at the television studio.
Weezy signed on to become a regular weekly guest on NFL Network’s NFL GameDay Morning show, starting this Sunday. Wayne will take his place alongside the rest of the GameDay crew, which includes Rich Eisen, Kurt Warner, Steve Mariucci, Gerald McCoy, Ian Rapoport, Cynthia Frelund, Colleen Wolfe, Mike Garafolo, Tom Pelissero, Daniel Jeremiah and Kyle Brandt, along with various NFL Network reporters including Judy Battista, Bridget Condon, Stacey Dales, Omar Ruiz, Jane Slater, Sara Walsh, Cameron Wolfe and Steve Wyche.
Wayne’s NFL connection dates back nearly two decades to his blog posts for the ESPN the Magazine and a spot in 2009 on the round table of the ESPN daily show, Around the Horn, followed by him offering up his track “No Mercy” in 2016 as the theme song for the sports talk show Skip and Shannon: Undisputed.
