    Lenny Kravitz has personal ties to NFL legends

    INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Lenny Kravitz has been enjoying Super Bowl weekend, but his reasons are more personal than sports-related.

    The rocker had a chance to reconnect with some National Football League legends whom he's had connections with in the past.

    Kravitz said Sunday that Joe Namath used to live across the street from him when he was growing up and the Hall of Famer used to play catch with him. He got a chance to meet up with Namath recently and reconnected with him on Saturday night at the NFL Honors.

    The musician also chatted with another great, Jim Brown, who was a friend of his mother's, actress Roxie Roker.

    Kravitz was one of the performers at the official NFL pre-game party at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.

      desperate article, pretty dull. now if they arm wrestled, drank, and chased women together you'd have an awesome story.

      This article is rather redundant...come on now, celebrities are friends of each other...any artist can make the same claim. Whether you are in entertainment or sports, these folks move in the same circle, tend to hang out at similar hotspots...so they intermingle and even become neighbors at times. To think Lenny Kravitz is one of the select few who hung out with NFL legends is rather silly. What about singers/musicians who dated or married athletes?

      I like Lenny Kravitz but this is a dumb article.
    • D  •  3 mths ago
      I think Kenny is a terrific artist and performer but the article title is a bit far-reaching.
    • J P  •  3 mths ago
      I loved watching his Mom, Roxie Roker, on the TV show "The Jeffersons". She had so much style and class. My fav was Her and George dancing. #LMAO!!

        WHO CARES.

      "a friend of his mother's"... his mother's what. Wasn't Brown simply a friend of his mother.
      • dojolaser 3 mths ago
        isn't his mother also brown's friend? like brown's his mother's friend...
      • A Yahoo! User 3 mths ago
        His mother was a friend *of* Brown, just as Brown was a friend *of* his mother. No additional apostrophes needed since the 'of' tells you it is possessive. The use of 'of' and an apostrophe 's' is common in speech, but paid writers should strive for correctness.

        Compare: Roxie Roker, the mother of Kravitz's was a friend of Brown's
        vs Roxie Roker, the mother of Kravitz, was a friend of Brown.

        An like all grammar-Nazi flames, please ignore my grammatical mistakes as I flail and rail against those of other's.

      I'm so glad that people are giving the thumbs down to people talking #$%$ about Lenny Kravitz. He's been divorced from Lisa Bonet for almost 20 years, but his career has never died down and I love Lisa Bonet, but when was the last time she was in anything? Enemy of the State? His mother (RIP) was a great actress, but she passed away almost two decades ago. He's a star in his own right. I hate it when people make me call them "haters," but that's exactly what they are.

      Gee Lenny, you make it sound so.............boring. I used to own a house across the street from where Levar Burton lived when he went to high school. BFD!
