Snoop Dogg's appearance causes commotion among star struck Broncos

More than 100 million people will watch the Denver Broncos play in Super Bowl 50 in a few days. So it was funny to see them get starstruck on Thursday.
Snoop Dogg showed up at the Broncos' final media availability of the week, as a correspondent for "The Rich Eisen Show." Snoop drew a bigger crowd than any of the players on Thursday, as the media followed him as he stopped to ask questions to each player. And each player lit up when they saw Snoop. Even quarterback Peyton Manning cracked a smile when Snoop Dogg asked him if he could get a discount on Papa John's pizzas if he came out to Colorado.
"Certainly," Manning replied.
The Denver Broncos' offensive line was late to their availability because they had to line up and take selfies with one of the most famous rappers on the planet. Later on, other players stopped Snoop so they could get some pictures with him.

Demaryius Thomas: "I never thought I'd be interviewed by Snoop. It was cool."

Probably 20 Broncos got pics with Snoop. Funny stuff.
Defensive linemen Vance Walker and Malik Jackson were sitting quietly at their table, checking their phones, when Snoop came up to Walker and slapped him on the back. After some handshakes and bro hugs, Snoop walked off to the next table while Jackson gave Walker one of those "That's Snoop Dogg!" smiles you'd see from a teenager meeting someone famous.
"That was cool, man. Snoop Dogg in the flesh, man," cornerback Aqib Talib said. "Never met him before."
"That was cool," receiver Emmanuel Sanders said.
Snoop joked with guard Evan Mathis about pizzas, too.
"That was pretty cool," Mathis said.
"I never thought I'd be interviewed by Snoop," receiver Demaryius Thomas said. "It was cool. He asked some good questions."
Snoop Dogg showed up for the Panthers' availability too. When Cam Newton came into the room for his news conference, he spotted Snoop and got excited.
"Snoop D-O double G!" Newton said, and then went out of his way to give Snoop a handshake.
Reporters stopped Snoop between his interviews with players to ask him questions, and take selfies themselves with him. Snoop has been around football for a while, coaching youth teams in Southern California. He was asked if the job of being a reporter was tougher than he thought.
"This job is easy man. Easy peasy, baby," Snoop Dogg said.
