Being the football fanatic that he is, it comes at no surprise that Eminem would voice his opinion on the NFL Playoffs.
He recently caught up with GQ, where he gave his personal picks on the playoffs and Super Bowl.
Here are some highlights from the interview:
GQ: You're a Cowboys fan, too. Can Dallas ever win a Super Bowl with Tony Romo as the quarterback?
Eminem: Yes, they can. I hate to sound fucking cliché, but I truly believe that Romo gives them the best chance to win. It's very frustrating to watch them week in, and week out. They blew all those fourth quarter leads this year. Man, it's hard to be a football fan. You get invested in your teams and it literally can ruin your entire fucking week. And just for the record—I am a Lions fan first and foremost. But growing up as a kid, the Lions were so bad for so long, that I picked up another team in the Cowboys.
GQ: The Giants have won three straight games and are starting to look eerily similar to the 2007 squad. Could they beat the Packers on Sunday and run the table?
Eminem: I don't know, man. I don't want to sound like a doubter or a hater, because in the NFL, on any given Sunday, any team can beat another one, you know? Dude, the fucking Chiefs beat the Packers this season. The Rams beat the Saints. It happens. So yeah, it's possible.
GQ: And the Saints—they just knocked your Lions out of the playoffs. Could the 49ers slow them down?
Eminem: I'm really interested in that Saints-Niners game. Drew Brees is playing like a fucking animal right now, but the way that the 49ers have turned that team around. It's crazy, right? That's going to be a hell of a game to watch. I think the Broncos and Patriots could be crazy, too. I don't know how far Houston's going to make it, though. Baltimore's tough.
GQ: If you're building your own NFL team, in any era, and you can pick your quarterback and head coach—who are you going with?
Eminem: Wow. This is hard. I want to...Man, this is hard. Joe Montana? Or Troy Aikman? I mean, Aikman was a winner, too. But I'll go Montana. And coach? Fuck. Tom Landry. Give me Tom Landry in that hat. Yeah. Can't go wrong with Joe Montana and Tom Landry.
GQ: You've mentioned Marcus Allen, Michael Vick, and Ben Roethlisberger in songs before. When can we expect a Tebow lyric?
Eminem: Who knows? A lot of things rhyme with Tebow, though, right?
