Mad Dash: Ben Affleck refuses to wear Yankees hat for film

Ben Affleck loves his Red Sox. He also knows the Hollywood cliche of an actor who shows up to root on whichever team is successful in any given year. No chance he would be mistake for the latter. No way. That's why when director David Fincher asked him to wear a Yankees cap in the movie "Gone Girl," Affleck wasn't having it, and his explanation was great.

On the note of supporting the hometown team, Snoop Dogg, a.k.a Snoop Lion, went above and beyond for his son's high school football team, Bishop Gorman. The famous rapper teamed up with Flava Flav to write a hip hop anthem for the school to play before games, and it brings the noise. Any criticism has to be taken with a grain of salt because, really, how many high school teams ever get their own rap anthem?
