There are tons of little kids running around in the Nevada Youth Football League and it seems every single one wears Gorman stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(MMA) and football are both contact sports, but my kids are in love with football.  My oldest son, Dana, is a football fanatic. He didn\u2019t get that from me and he\u2019s gotten me into it. The Gorman games are fun because they\u2019re playing real teams every week.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bishop Gorman coach Tony Sanchez commented on celebrity appearances around campus saying:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere\u2019s always a balance here.  It\u2019s not uncommon to see Dana around campus. Sometimes you\u2019ll see Snoop Dogg (the father of Gaels receiver Cordell Broadus) or Randall (Cunningham, the father of last year\u2019s quarterback, Randall Cunningham, Jr.) at practice. We\u2019ve had a lot of guys who come through here. Aaron Rodgers threw the ball around with some of the players a couple of years ago. It\u2019s not totally out of the realm to see some of these guys.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In addition to Snoop Dogg&#8217;s son, and Randall Cunningham&#8217;s son on the team is Lorenzo Fertitta&#8217;s son Nicco, who is a defensive back for the team, and just so happens to be a huge Conor McGregor fan.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cNicco plays like his father.  He loves the contact. I\u2019m pretty sure he\u2019s coming Saturday (to UFC 178).
