We’re used to surprises from Jay-Z. One day he’s announcing his retirement, the next he’s growing new locks. But on Tuesday, when the National Football League announced a deal with Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation, fans of the hip-hop mogul raised their collective brow — and it went higher on Friday when TMZ reported that he may be about to become part owner of an NFL team.
