“I gotta ask you… when you was going into them early fights, when you first started coming up, you walk into the ring … what is that shit like?” “It’s really orgasmic. It’s almost like –” “Like, did you feel … Continue reading
A real-life Stan
The story about the intruder breaking into Eminem’s house last month (the news is just breaking now) is incredibly freaky. The guy somehow gets past the gate, as well as Eminem’s security detail (who were elsewhere on the property) and … Continue reading
