Rapper Snoop Dogg briefly quit smoking marijuana when he realized dads on the sidelines at his Orange County, California, youth football league disapproved of his laid-back ways. The hitmaker was starting out as a youth football coach for his eldest son's team and he accepted his doped-up persona didn't impress other dads.

Snoop tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I saw me coming to practice smellin' like weed, my vision half-blurred, and the parents lookin' at me like, Snoop Dogg the gangster. So instead of the parents checkin' me sayin', `Hey, Snoop, you smell like weed, why you comin' to practice high?' I took it out of my game so none of the parents would get at me foul, and they'd let me coach. I did it for two or three months."
