He was "interviewed" by Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit during the halftime show of UM/ND game.
Eminem: "I'm really uncomfortable now."
I'd look like that too trapped with Musburger.
EPIC!
Funniest thing I've seen on tv in a while.

(17,111 posts)The situation was hilarious. Being dropped in to talk to mainly Musburger would discombobulate anybody. Then Brent brings up betting lines on the Lions?
Cognitive dissonance turned up to VERY HIGH.

(36,437 posts)For the young'uns: The kids might not believe it, but CBS football pre-game (starring Musberger at the time) used to involve a segment telling people how to bet the games, led by a "professional sports gambler" who went by "Jimmy the Greek!" This is how many of us were introduced to football. Needless to say, "Jimmy the Greek" got phased out as football became a clean, contemporary sport - on the basis of racist comments, no less (he argued that African Americans are better suited for some positions because slavery bred them to have thick thighs, or some similar nonsense). Repeat, Jimmy The Greek turned out to make racist comments!

There's like 10,000 Syrian's out here and they want to kick our ass.
Brent Musburger asked me if I wanted to go back to the trailer and get high
I said nothing personal but I'd rather have the Syrian's tase me till I die.
My name is who, my name is wut? Johnny Ready!

Not sure I understand your post.

(203 posts)Well, what can I say the rhyme was for fun. I like to write lyrics and blend in current events. Your thread is a burst of delightful refreshment, in my defense the lyrics were off the top of my head, freestyle.
