"Stafford, first of all, we feel like, this is the closest weāre gonna get to a Super Bowl ā is through Matt Stafford," he said.
"Itās a perfect scenario where I can root for a team that I like because of Matt Stafford and the Detroit connection, but the stars are aligned. And Iāmma tell you why. Because Al Michaels is doing the game and Iām a huge fan of Al Michaels," the "8 Mile" star continued.

Hailie is Eminem's biological daughter with ex-wife Kim Scott. The former couple is also parents to Alaina Marie Mathers, 28, who is actually the daughter of Kim's twin sister Dawn Scott, and Whitney Scott Mathers, 19, whom the rapper also adopted.
In March 2020, Eminem talked about how proud he was of Hailie on Mike Tyson's "Hotboxin" podcast.
"Hailie is 23," he said of his daughter. "Not babies, nope. Just boyfriend and sheās doing good she has made me proud for sure. She graduated from college, 3.9."
Hailie studied psychology at Michigan State University.
"Yeah it definitely is crazy," he continued. "I have a niece that I have helped raise too, thatās kind of like a daughter pretty much like a daughter to me and sheās 26 and then I have a younger one thatās 17 now. So when I think about my accomplishments, thatās probably the thing Iām most proud of is that is being able to raise kids."
