...Black Entertainment Television or an ESPN postgame press conference, and you're bound to see rapper Nelly in a bright orange Spirits of St. Louis jersey (the basketball team folded in 1976) or Tampa Bay Buccaneers football star Warren Sapp in a Kelly green, early 1980s Philadelphia Eagles getup.

...more interested in the "Song of Myself," relentlessly hawking their new releases. At least Missy Elliott (lowered from the ceiling via chandelier) had the grace to remember the singer Aaliyah with an airbrushed portrait on the back of her white leather jacket. Across the backside of Macy Gray's getup...
