I was a bit surprised when I came across this interview Sports Illustrated did with Gucci Mane. They asked him about his friendship with NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin, as a Falcons fan what he thinks about the Michael Vick situation and what Brick Squad would be if it were a sports team (funny answer). What surprised me the most was his answer on whether or not college athletes should be paid. Check it out after the jump.

NBA:(Video) Pacers All Star Paul George & Teammates Play Dodgeball With Fans
I love when players really try to make an attempt to interact with their fans on a personal level.

I love how they were willing to do something different with their fans and have fun at the same time. Shows a different side to them. Check out the video after the jump.

NFL: DC Mayor Wants Redskins To Consider Name Change —What Do You Think?!
The mayor of Washington, D.C., Vincent Gray would like the Washington Redskins to reconsider their nickname.

What do you guys think?! Report after the jump… GameTimeGirl
