Making the cut of Lil Wayne shout-outs: Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley, cornerback Brandon Flowers, rapper Tech N9ne, pro skateboarder Sean Malto, Escapist skate shop, label Strange Music, and Jack Stack Barbecue. Check it after the jump.
Haley actually attended Weezy's Sprint Center show. Deadspin called out the coach for his awkward "bromance" with Lil Wayne. Hard to argue after reading this excerpt from Haley's presser.

Lil' Wayne—our song last year—we made a video at the start of the season and it was one of his songs. The players took to it. We played it every home game. It was kind of our… When you saw us gather up in the end zone, it was always a song of his. So, I said if he comes into town and I get an opportunity to give him a copy of it and thank him, I was able to do it. It was a great, great show, terrific."Q: Does that give you credibility in the locker room being a Lil' Wayne fan?
HALEY: "I don't know. They didn't know it a whole bunch until... I guess now they know."Q: It's better than being a Barbra Streisand fan.
HALEY: "I'm a fan of hers, too. Everlong? Evergreen. Everlong is the Foo Fighters. See, Foo Fighters, I like the Foo Fighters. I'm versatile. I like a broad range."Q: Who is your all-time favorite?
HALEY: "Lil' Wayne is up there. I like him. He's good. He's good. He thinks outside the box for sure."
