How it started...

... how it went.

I love that he had t-shirts with a whole variety of athletes on them, but he obviously had to plan that ahead and make less risky choices. I wish they'd had a t-shirt dude in Paris on call so that he could show up wearing, say, the women's fencers, or our female silver medal bouldering/lead climber.
at skateboarding

I ALSO enjoy that NBC didn't have the athletes shoot promotional stuff for his shirts and so he's wearing shots of them from, here, Budapest 2023. It says to me that HE really was behind all this.

His commitment to the glasses is unparalleled.

Now let's get snoop into the WBNA full-time! (He's with A'ja here at the men's hoops quarterfinal.)

And here, he's got A'ja on a shirt! Wear it proudly, sir. (He did.)

Shaun White looks like he's trying to think of something witty to say to Snoop, but he knows Snoop is way too focused on this fencing for silliness right now. He was INTO IT.

Here, he's at the soccer, but he CLEARLY came ready for horseplay. HA HA. ZING. I love that he had this jacket at the ready. Maybe it's because he knew for sure he was doing some equestrian events.

Here, Snoop is all of us, trying to stay cool with a pocket fan and probably wondering how soon we will be f*cked out of a summer games entirely by global warming (2050, per the news).

I love that you can see the event -- judo - reflected in his glasses.
