In a widening bribery scandal, federal prosecutors in Chicago this afternoon released a new audio tape on which 12th Avenue Bakers coach Snoop Dogg could be heard offering a bribe to embattled Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.
On the tape, which prosecutors said was recorded on Tuesday, a voice that sounded like Dogg asked Blagojevich “how much it’s gonna take for the Bears defense to lay down for ma nizzle Drew Brees” — an apparent attempt to bribe the governor to influence this weekend’s game.
When Blagojevich replied, “Two million, one for the team and one for Papa Bear,” Dogg responded, “We goin grizzle, fashizzle. Check for a wire transfer at your banizzle, S-D-O-G insured.”
Prosecutors would not say whether any funds had been transferred to any bank accounts in Blagojevich’s name, though they will be watching the Bears’ on-field performance closely. A big game by Brees against the Bears would greatly bolster the Bakers’ chance of winning their chances of upsetting the undefeated East Nashville Black Dogs.
For his part, Snoop Dogg denied that his words could even be construed as offering a bribe, contending that he merely was asking Blagojevitch, whom he described as a “big fan,” for his views on this weekend’s contest.
When reached in the Alice B. Toklas Suite at the reopened Cherry Bomb Café, Bakers owner QCurl Sharif said, “One thing I’ve learned from all my years in football is that you play with the field conditions you have. When it’s raining, we have to get a little wet.”
FSN will provide fresh details as they emerge.
