Hines Ward: SNOOP FOR NFL COMMISH? ... Hell Yeah!!

Commissioner Dogg? Maybe.

We got Hines Ward out in San Fran last night and asked if Snoop -- a hardcore fan who runs his own youth football league -- could ever be an executive in the NFL.

Turns out ... Hines is all about it!

"Snoop would be a great commissioner in the NFL," Ward said ... "He keeps it real. Keeps the fan base excited. Snoop's the man! I think he should run for commissioner!"
