Snoop and his posse left around 6:00 a.m. and Kardashian and her NFL running back boyfriend split shortly thereafter. Powell's POV: Those opposed to Rock and Lawler's antics are fine with humor, but seem to feel there's a difference between injecting humor into a speech and "making a mockery" of the event by telling one-liners that don't really fit with the theme of a typical Hall of Fame speech. I thought celebrities like Snoop were still partying at six in the morning, not checking out of hotels. Maybe his wife told him, "No more Snoopin'." HELP SUPPORT DOT NET!
