The Super Bowl is nearly here and it seems like nearly everyone is going to be watching, even some of the most high-profile celebs in prison. TMZ has heard from a variety of sources how the Menendez brothers, Suge Knight, Joe Exotic, and even other famous inmates are planning to celebrate the big game behind bars.
The Menendez brothers, who are serving life sentences for murdering their parents, are reportedly huge football fans and have been counting down the days until the Super Bowl. According to sources, they have already placed bets on the game and are planning to watch it in the prison's common room.
Suge Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records, is also said to be excited about the Super Bowl. Knight, who is serving a 28-year sentence for a fatal hit-and-run accident, has allegedly been training for a prison fantasy football league and is confident that his team will come out on top.
Joe Exotic, the former zoo owner and star of the Netflix documentary series "Tiger King," is reportedly planning to throw a Super Bowl party in the prison's cafeteria. Exotic, who is serving a 22-year sentence for murder-for-hire and animal welfare charges, has allegedly invited all of his fellow inmates to join him for a day of football, food, and fun.
Other famous inmates, including former NFL players and celebrities, are also said to be planning their own Super Bowl celebrations. While the details of their plans are not yet clear, it is rumored that they will be watching the game on TVs in their cells or in the prison's common areas.
The Super Bowl is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year, and it seems that even prison walls cannot contain the excitement. As the big game approaches, it will be interesting to see how these celebrity convicts and other inmates choose to celebrate.
Prison officials have yet to comment on the plans, but it is likely that they will be taking steps to ensure that the celebrations do not get out of hand. After all, the last thing they need is a riot breaking out in the prison's common room over a disputed call or a lost bet.
For now, it seems that the Super Bowl will be a welcome distraction for these celebrity convicts and other inmates. As they gather around their TVs to watch the game, they will be able to forget, if only for a few hours, about their troubles and simply enjoy the excitement of the big game.
