Rams Hall of Famer Jackie Slater will root for his son, and the Patriots
Posted by Michael David Smith on January 25, 2019

Pro Football Hall of Fame

Pro Football Hall of Famer Jackie Slater played his entire 20-year career with the Rams, second only to former Lion Jason Hanson for the longest tenure with one team in NFL history. But on Super Bowl Sunday, Slater will be rooting against the Rams.

That’s because his son, Matthew Slater, is the Patriots’ special teams captain, and Jackie always supports his son’s team.

“I gave him a hard time, like, ‘Are you going to be coming to this game in Ram attire, waving a Ram towel?'” Matthew Slater said. “We had a good laugh. Ultimately I’m his son and he’s always going to support me and want to see me do the best I can and be successful. This coming weekend that will mean seeing the Patriots be successful, even against his old team.”

Although Matthew Slater still has a long way to go to match his father’s success in the NFL, he’s had quite a career for himself, lasting 11 seasons, all with the Patriots, earning two Super Bowl rings and being chosen to seven Pro Bowls. He and his dad both have a lot to be proud of.

Cant say I blame him lol. Who wouldnt root for their kid?

 

[CanRamFan]

Well fuck him then...right ?

 

[Alaskan Ram]

Well freak him then...right ?

fuck him in the goat ass.

but, I forgive him. family first.

[wolfdogg]

I wouldn't have had this problem because I would have disowned him 11 years ago.

 

[MarkMyWords]

Put the kid up for adoption!

 

[jjab360]

That's fair, not his fault his son got drafted and brainwashed by the antichrist

 

[hotanez]

My heart is broken

7 pro bowls as a ST player. Wow. He seems to be a kind of Swiss Army Knife for them on ST's.

Seriously that's worth some consideration for the HoF.

freak him in the goat ass.

:rolllaugh:

I sent your post to Jackie, and he said you could go first and he was even kind enough to make recommendations. He suggested you take the one in the top pic.

Personally I think the one on the far left of the second picture has a great looking taint and I think you should go that way.

:rolllaugh::rolllaugh::rolllaugh:

Well, Jackie can't lose no matter who wins, I guess...

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Jackie Who?

 

[LesBaker]

Well, Jackie can't lose no matter who wins, I guess...

Its going to be a sad day in the young Slater's house and that will probably make Jackie sad too.

No doubt...We'll invite him to the Rams Parade..:rockon:

 

[JYB]

I never realized Matthew Slater was Jackie's son. Oh well, love Jackie, and you can't hold this against him. Once his son is no longer playing for the Pats, his loyalty will return to where it's always been.

 

[LesBaker]

Found it!!!

 

[Ramstien]

I was just going to say the same thing.

Chris Long was just on local radio here in Philly and stated he is not sure who wants to win with having friends on both teams.

He did call Aaron Donald "the best player that will be on the field", but surprised that rooting for Donald, Brockers, Saffold, etc, would not be a no brainer for him.

 

[IE Rams]

Man, that’s tough to stomach, but that’s his boy. Anyway, I’d never talk shit about him—especially to his face :rolllaugh:

Ironic though, that the Rams will be wearing the same blue and yellows that he wore.

 

[LARams_1963]

No excuse.... Life long Ram for what? 18-20 years??? Family or not... "I love ya son... but..."

I'm glad that CLong got to get a couple of rings.

He was a really good player for many years on a really shitty team.

He deserved the other side of the coin for a bit.

If the Rams decide to bring him back next year as rotational depth I would have NO problem with it.

And he is an A+ human which mean something too. At least to me.
