Wale (@Wale) - Rappers and celebrities in general are famous for being fairweather fans (yeah, you, Weezy) who root for popular, winning teams. But not Wale. He's been one of the biggest boosters of his hometown Washington Redskins for a few years now, often going head to head with ESPN anchors to defend them. Good luck with that, Wale.

Slim Thug (@slimthugga) - After just a decade in the league, the Houston Texans don't have any Superbowl rings yet, but they do have something almost as important: a rapper endorsement! Slim Thug recruited Paul Wall, Z-Ro and Chamillionaire last year to celebrate the Texans (brief) playoff run with the song "Houston." We don't know if the Texans will be worthy of such adulation this year, but we know Thugga will at least be Tweeting about them. (Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty Images)

Joe Budden (@JoeBudden) - In between tweeting pics of whichever girlriend he has now in various states of undress, Joe Budden is a go-to guy on game day for funny, insightful tweets about his hometown Giants, and sports in general. (Photo: John Ricard/BET)
