The rapper we know for his Doggy-style is regularly seen with a football jersey on, but at 6'4", can we really trust his skills on the 50-yard line? Fa-shizzle, turns out Snoop has coached his son's little league team as well as a high school football team. If he's on the field, he might not be trusted to make too many hits, as that might mess up his long hair, but we know he can talk a good game, so he'll probably rap his way into the end zone if the situation warrants it.

Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey is no slouch. Not only is he an auto racing enthusiast, but he bikes pretty regularly in full on spandex. He was recently seen biking with his wife, but it's not just about date night. He also held a 2-day cycling change in his home state of Maine, raising over $1 million dollars for charity in the process.

A twitpic pronounced Jordin Sparks' new foray into healthy living, showing a dramatic weight loss last year. After her bikini bod was shown for all the world to see, she has continually been seen at celebrity sports games of all kinds, including an appearance at DirecTV's  Celebrity Beach Bowl and the MLB's All-Star Celebrity Softball Game. Maybe she can pick up where she left off at the Olympics? She could totally run on a Celebrity relay team.

As talk continues about him owning a cable network, music mogul Sean Combs' image as an athlete may be a stretch for many. While I'm not sure what name he went by when he finished the New York Marathon donning a mohawk, he was one of the few rappers I've seen run the race. He raised a reported $2 million for charity.

Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer has proven his staying power after completing almost 9 seasons of the successful comedy he now shares co-starring duties with Ashton Kutcher on. But his endurance goes even further, Jon Cryer is an avid triathlete. He tells Runner's World he trains five days a week, but only does distance work of swimming, running or biking three days a week. How he manages 12-hour shooting days just may prove he alone is two and a half men.
