The Slater mystery
If you read any fan blog in Boston, there's a big buzz over who Matthew Slater is, beside the fact that he is the son of Hall of Fame Jackie Slater. The Patriots listed Slater as a receiver, although he was surely drafted for special teams. New England even traded up to get him in the fifth round. Slater had three kickoff returns for touchdowns in 2007 and 986 yards in kickoff returns. He has a kickoff return average of 29 yards per return.
About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's fifth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
