Rams Hall of Famer Jackie Slater will root for his son, and the Patriots

Posted by Michael David Smith on January 25, 2019, 11:49 AM EST

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.

He's now dead to me.

Well at least on Feb 3rd. Blood is thicker than snot-bubbles.

Blood ties first. You're forgiven, Jackie.

Traitor!!!

My brother, first - takes some serious guts to talk about that situation. I know "that" feeling well, sadly. I empathize with you not watching the game.

You just gave me another, more salient reason, to hope and root for our RAMS to absolutely destroy that team.

I hope all is well in your world and that Karma takes care of the rest, including Feb 3rd.

I'm sorry to hear that and I hope it turns out the way you say.

Fuck dude that sucks. If the Rams win maybe it will take the sting away enough that you can watch all of the games again.

Go Rams!

That's my hope.

I’m so sorry to hear about your situation man. That’s a terrible thing you went thru. Sounds like it’s already taken so much from you, doesn’t seem right that it should take away the joy of watching the game away now.
Right now is the best time to be a fan of this team and you’ve got to soak in every minute of it. Because we sure know that there are no guarantees as to when we’ll be back here!!
Enjoy every minute

Thanks Dieter. I've been reading your posts for a long time and you're my favorite Rams poster on the net. Back to the RRF days.

@R4L. Thanks and props for sharing that with us.

That story is as bad as it gets.
Shame on her and shame on Bellicheat for earning his nickname that day.


But that's in the past now. That and the Patriot run which will likely be in the past too. The Rams are about to put a bookEND to the Patriots.

Symbolically this game can be the end of that memory for you, , , and for all of us together.

After reading your story, I'm pulling even harder for a Rams win and will envision you jumping for joy where ever you are when they do..

GO RAMS!
GO R4L!
BUCK FOSTON !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Hack. I haven't told many people this story for obvious reasons. I wasn't sure what type of reaction I would get here but everyone has been great.

I guess the only way that story could be any worse is if the neighbor was a Patriots fan.

Brutal.

Here's the TV map for Sunday, February 3:

Brother I am so sorry.

I have been working this week and just read your story. Many of us can relate to this in one way or another but your connection actually took my breath away a bit.

There is much redemption in this game for us Rams fans. And now it just took it to another level.

I only have one hope for you. I hope you realize before Sunday her unthinkable selfishness needs to stop controlling you and your life's joys and this needs to stop today. You have a loving Ramily that would NEVER betray your love for our team. ESPECIALLY during the best of our times.

I am taking your spirit to game with me. And sticking her miserable soul in NOLA where it belongs.

Let me know if there is anything I can do.

GO RAMS!!!

And the restoration of the LA Rams is now complete.

Awesome!!!
