Eminem is ready to suit up for the Lions. Here's his offer to head coach Dan Campbell:

Okay, so Eminem is ready to suit up for the Lions. Coo. We've got musicians offering their services to play for Detroit this Sunday. What about fictional Detroit characters?

Detroit Movie Characters Playing for Lions

Robocop (DE): Can you imagine Robocop lining up opposite Aiden Hutchinson on the defensive line? He'd say "your move creep" and the offensive line would jump, right? He'd more than likely get called for a personal foul after he ripped someone's arm off...but hey, it's a tough game (kidding btw).

Axel Foley (Beverly Hills Cop) (Safety or Cornerback): Street smart, tough and quick witted - Axel Foley would be a perfect addition to the secondary. Imagine him talking trash to the opposing wide receiver...they'd be so distracted. Would you actually have a "banana in the tailpipe" audible?

Walt Kowalski (Gran Torino) designated staring coach: Have him standing on the sidelines just staring across the field at the opposing coach. I know I'd get rattled. And he'd simply whisper "Get Off My Lawn" when anyone from Tampa Bay got too close to him. Maybe we can get the PA announcer at Ford Field to play that drop when the Bucs come on for offense.

Cyborg (DC Comics)(Defensive Line): That's right, Cyborg is from Detroit (and in the comics he was a stud football player). Do we put him on the defensive line or maybe linebacker? I mean he is a full blown superhero, right? And since he's technically only half human - would that count as one of the 11 on the field?

You're feeling it right? And can you imagine how loud Ford Field would be on Sunday? (not that it needs any help) - Screamin Scott wrote this about Lions fans and the decibels reached last week
