Owen was tuned into the highly anticipated Instagram Live concert, and at one point during the show, he wrote, “I want some Hennessy & a black & mild for some reason watching this.” While Black people enjoy a plethora of brands of spirits and various types of tobacco products, like every other race of people, Hennessy and Black & Mild cigars have long been associated with Black culture.

Roughly 17 months after Rudolph was drafted, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger aggravated an elbow injury and was lost to a season-ending surgery. As SN’s Mike DeCourcy wrote in the wake of Roethlisberger’s injury, suddenly, Pittsburgh’s selection of Rudolph, now 24, seemed shrewd at worst and genius at best....
