There are few entertainers as recognizable as Snoop Dogg. The rapper seems to be everywhere: An established artist who owns a record label, he is also an avid WWE and Olympics fan and has been involved with both. When you see Snoop out in the world, you are often reminded just how tall he is as he towers over the people around him. His big personality certainly helps, but given his body type, Snoop always looms large.
The rapper and entertainer will be taking in the sights at Week 5's “Sunday Night Football” matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys. Ahead of this appearance, we've got you covered with all the details you want to know about Snoop Doggy Dogg.
While Snoop Dogg can seem larger than life, he may be shorter than you think. He stands at 6-foot-4. NFL players are often scrutinized for their height. We typically hear about it when dealing with quarterbacks, as players at that position under 6 feet tall face questions about their ability to play at the highest level — and indeed, the tallest player in the 2024 season is Lions tackle Dan Skipper, who stands at 6-10. Snoop wouldn't line up with the league's tallest players. But he would still be eye-to-eye or taller than many of the big name players in the NFL.
Despite being from California and having strong ties to the West Coast, Snoop's NFL allegiances lie elsewhere. Snoop considers himself part of Steelers Nation and spends his Sundays rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
When he joined the Manningcast in 2022, the Manning brothers Payton and Eli asked him about his fandom. Snoop seems to cheer for everyone, but he considers himself a Steelers fan.
“Well in the 70s, you know, watching your dad [Archie Manning] and watching the Steelers and the Raiders and the Cowboys and the teams from the 70s, I fell in love with they great defense, the way they moved the ball, just the way they played football. It was fun to watch as a kid and as I got older, I fell more in love with them because I got a chance to meet the players, I got to meet coach [Bill] Cowher and Ben Roethlisberger, you know, Jerome Bettis and the rest of the guys and you know, I became a part of Steeler Nation.”
Snoop has stuck by Pittsburgh through these recent down years. When Ben Roethlisberger was about to retire, the Mannings asked who Snoop would want the Steelers to target. He said he wanted them to go after Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers. It's a good thing that Snoop found his fandom because of the Pittsburgh defense because that has been the best part of their team the last few seasons.
Snoop was born in Long Beach, California, on Oct. 20, 1971. He is 52 and will turn 53 later this month. Given all of his ventures, Snoop has generated a lot of wealth for himself. It is estimated that in 2024, he is worth approximately $160 million.
Snoop Dogg will introduce the Pittsburgh Steelers during their upcoming home game against the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday night. This game marks the Steelers' second home matchup of the season and will feature Snoop Dogg hosting the broadcast, as announced by Mike Tirico on NBC. In a pre-produced video, Snoop expressed his excitement about the historic rivalry and emphasized his loyalty to the Steelers. Despite the Steelers’ recent defensive struggles, they face a formidable Cowboys offense led by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb in this matchup. This will be only the second primetime regular season game in the Steelers-Cowboys history, with the first occurring in 1982.
Fans can expect an electric atmosphere as Snoop Dogg joins the Steelers next weekend, potentially boosting the team's morale against a strong Cowboys lineup. This matchup could impact the trajectory of both teams’ seasons, particularly for Pittsburgh as they look to regain their defensive strength.
A very special guest will be inside Acrisure Stadium on Sunday night when the Steelers take on their longtime rival, the Dallas Cowboys. Snoop Dogg will be in attendance during NBC’s Sunday Night Football in Pittsburgh. Steelers Depot posted a video clip from this past Sunday’s Bills/Ravens game where the broadcast team announced Snoop will be in Pittsburgh. The legendary hip hop star is a well-known Steelers fans going back years. His videos (contains strong language) after a Steelers loss made losing a little easier to swallow in the past. “My blood runs black and gold,” Snoop said in a hype video for the game.
Music legend, Paris Olympics host, and current The Voice Coach Snoop Dogg is headed to Sunday Night Football this weekend, October 6, for the high-stakes Dallas Cowboys vs. Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry game. Snoop’s exact role in the broadcast has yet to be announced, though he is an avid Steelers fan and accomplished youth football coach in his own right, so it’s no surprise to see him at the biggest NFL game of the week. So however he pops up, you can be sure he’ll have some good insights for whatever Sunday Night Football analysts Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth are cooking up for this one.
The Dallas Cowboys vs. Pittsburgh Steelers is one of the biggest rivalries in the NFL, and with both teams fighting to build an early playoff resume, it should make for a great match-up Sunday night at 7:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock for Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys are looking to get things back on track after a 2-2 start to the season behind quarterback Dak Prescott, while the 3-1 Steelers are in the midst of their own quarterback debate, with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson both potential options to get snaps against the Cowboys.
Having Snoop join in on Sunday Night Football this weekend seems like the perfect fit after his breakout success as an ambassador and commentator at the Paris Olympics over the summer. Snoop is a longtime Steelers fan, and even adopted their “terrible towel” approach on The Voice, with special “Team Snoop” towels for the audience to show off when Coach Snoop is vying for a Blind Audition.
Snoop has been a great addition as one of the new Season 26 Coaches on The Voice (alongside Michael Buble), channeling his decades of music experience and youth league coaching pedigree to bring a unique angle to the beloved music competition series. If you can coach football, who’s to say you can’t also coach The Voice, right?
Be sure to tune in to Sunday Night Football this Sunday night at 7:20 p.m. ET to see Snoop providing that commentary that only he can for the Cowboys vs. Steelers game –– and also catch him all season on The Voice on NBC!
