Eminem Sends Awesome Tweet About The Detroit Lions, OC Staying
Eminem is fired up about the future of the Detroit Lions.
The rap superstar has been a massive Lions fan his entire life, and was a big part of the momentum around the team's playoff run.
He was even in attendance in San Francisco to watch the Lions blow a 17-point lead. It was heartbreaking, but the man is committed to the franchise.
Eminem is just like other Lions fans. A man who has suffered so much and is ready to finally be great. The team fell short of its ultimate goal this year, but that hasn't stopped him from being amped for the future.
Eminem juices up the Lions after disappointing loss to the 49ers.
He fired off an awesome tweet late Tuesday afternoon after news broke that OC Ben Johnson is staying, and joked he will "stop recording" a diss track about the team's offensive genius.
The "Lose Yourself" rapper then made it clear he's still all in on Dan Campbell and the future is bright.
"I promise you I WILL get us to the Super Bowl," he proudly proclaimed on X. I hope so, Eminem. I hope so.
I think it's safe to say Eminem speaks for a lot of Detroit fans. Was Sunday absolutely gutting and brutal?
No question about it. Anyone who says otherwise is simply lying. Lions fans could taste the Super Bowl.
I was having visions of blackjack at the Wynn the Saturday before the Super Bowl before watching the Lions lift the Lombardi Trophy.

Yet, it wasn't meant to be as Lions fans had to watch Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers storm back from a 17-point deficit. Some might sit back and simply say, "It's the same old Lions."
Eminem isn't doing that. He can see the future is bright, and he's absolutely correct. Ben Johnson returning is HUGE for the Lions moving into next season.
Add in the fact that the core is staying together at a minimum, and there's plenty to be excited about in Detroit.
I would have loved to hear his (joking) diss track about Ben Johnson. I bet it would have been fire. Good thing fans will never find out. Now, it's all about next season. Let me know your thoughts on the Lions at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
