So Sad: Just Now” lose his child of three years old…
Eminem is a lifelong, diehard Detroit Lions fan. The rap and hip-hop star is well aware of the Lions’ playoff futility.
The Lions haven’t won a playoff game since 1991. They get another opportunity when they host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in a Wild Card playoff game. Eminem is desperate for a Lions’ win to break the playoff drought. Eminem was 15 when the Lions defeated the Dallas Cowboys 38-6 in the divisional round game. That was their last playoff win. Eminem is now 51.
On a video posted on social media, Eminem wants a Lions’ win so bad that he asked Rams’ quarterback Matthew Stafford – the former quarterback for the Lions – to let the Lions win.
“Stafford, what’d I say? You owe me this favor, bro,” Eminem said. “I was there for you when you won it. I was there for you. I was right there. I rapped for you, Stafford! Bro, I rapped for you! Can you just let us have this one? Just this one.”
The Lions used the No. 1 pick of the 2009 NFL draft to select Stafford. Stafford spent 12 years with the franchise before he was sent to the Rams in exchange for quarterback Jared Goff and three draft picks in 2021. When Stafford and Goff face off on Sunday, it will be the first time both starting quarterbacks will be facing their former teams at the same time in playoff history.
While Eminem and Stafford may be buddies, that friendship will be placed on hold during the game. There is no doubt Stafford will try to win the game.
