Kelly Stafford Has a Message for Detroit Fans Who Booed Her Family

What a weekend. You can't make this stuff up, kids. Matthew Stafford, who played quarterback for the Detroit Lions for more than a decade, was back in town to take on his former team. The Lions hosted the Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field on Sunday (Jan. 15) in a NFL Wild Card matchup. Stafford and his entire family was back in town, and it was a very emotional experience for all involved. Now, his wife, Kelly Stafford, has posted a message for Detroit fans who booed her family.

If you're been living under a rock, I'll update you that the Lions beat the Rams in a riveting 24-23 win. The win was sweet for Lions quarterback Jared Goff, too. Goff was "traded" from the Los Angels Rams during the Stafford trade and really given the shaft. He deserves so much more, and he's getting it with the Lions.

Stafford gave a lot to the city of Detroit when he was here. So, maybe it was jarring for his family to hear him booed at Ford Field. In a social media post, Kelly Stafford both called out fans who booed her family and shared some love for the Detroit Lions after the game. In the post, she said, "What a season.. and for it to end at Ford Field ♥️ Already excited for this Rams team next season." She added, "And he will be back next year Detroit, but until then, go get you one!!!" Then, a fan commented on one of Kelly's recent posts stating, "Enough with the Detroit love, they showed their true colors, f them." She responded saying, "It's sports. The city wants to win. Everything is fair game... Except the fans who booed my children. Other than that, I loved the atmosphere and the booing just gave my husband more fire. The more you love, the more you hate. I consider it all love going both ways. And both that we are out, I hope the Lions fans bring home a Lombardi to that city because that feeling is like no other. Go get it." That is a sweet message from Kelly, and it's nice that she wishes the Lions well. Listen to my podcast, "The Squad with Anne Erickson," where we talk about the game and the rest of the season below.

You never know who you're going to see on the sidelines of any given NFL game. Well, if you're in Kansas City, then you know that you're going to see Taylor Swift. Speaking of Kansas City, the Chiefs vs. Dolphins game is going to be frigid on Saturday (Jan. 13). Why couldn't the Dolphins have just won and had their playoff game in Miami? Now, Swift will have to freeze herself while rooting for Travis Kelce. But, enough about swift. Who are some celebrities who could be at Ford Field for the playoffs?

The Detroit Lions host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday (Jan. 14). That game is at 8:15 p.m. and will air on NBC and Peacock. Predictions are split on who will win this game. But, most predictions are very close. My prediction is Lions 24, Rams 21, and I'm sticking with it. Either way, it'll likely be a close game.

Thank goodness the game is indoors. I don't know why a team like Buffalo still has an outdoor stadium. I mean, you're Buffalo, New York. You have some of the most inclement weather in the entire United States. Just accept the fact that you can't have outdoor games. The playoff game that was supposed to take place Sunday in Buffalo, where they host the Steelers, was going to be so frigid and snowy, that the NFL had to move the game to Monday. Also, Bills are actually asking people to shovel snow for them at the stadium. They're paying $20 per hour, too. So, considering that Detroit has been hit with winter weather this weekend, it's a very good thing that this game is indoors. Jared Goff and fans will be nice and cozy inside Ford Field.

Read on for some celebrities who could be at Ford Field on Sunday. All of these guys and gals love the Detroit Lions. Also, listen to the latest episode of my podcast, "The Squad with Anne Erickson," below. Reach out to me here.

This is an obvious one. Slim Shady is huge Detroit Lions fan. The platinum-certified artist and Mom's Spaghetti owner even appeared on an episode of "Hard Knocks" with them. If you're going to be on one celebrity to be at this game, I'd go with Eminem.

While it's less certain than Eminem being at the playoff game, it's still likely that Big Sean will show up. He's a big Lions fan, and even though he lives in Los Angeles now, how could he turn down the chance to see the Lions against a Los Angeles team? I think it's happening.

Here's another one that wouldn't surprise me. Tim Allen of "Home Improvement" fame is no stranger to attending Detroit Lions fans. He grew up in the metro area, so he loves his lions.

I put this in the maybe category. Jeff Daniels is one of Michigan's biggest comedic superstars. The "Dumb and Dumber" still lives in the area and oversees the Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea, Michigan. I think he should come to this game and help cheer on his team.

Keegan-Michael Key is a big Detroit Lions fan and also very proud of being from Detroit. I totally see this happening. He also recently told Jimmy Kimmel that he would totally lose his cool if the Lions won a Super Bowl.

Jalen Rose, a famed member of the University of Michigan Wolverines' "Fab Five," is a big Detroit fan. He's also a sports analyst, so checking out this game would be of great interest to him. I think he'll be there. Just a hunch.

Yes, you could see Flavor Flav at the Detroit Lions game. Why? Well, he lives between Michigan and Las Vegas. He was also recently spotted at one of Taylor Swift’s "The Eras Tour" shows at Ford Field.

Not sure if I would count on it, but Kid Rock loves Detroit teams. Yes, he lives in Nashville now. But, he could make the trip in for this big moment.

Jack White performed the National Anthem at the 2022 Opening Day game for the Detroit Tigers. Even though he lives in Nashville, he's a big Detroit fan. He could make it in for this game.

I would love to see Barry Sanders at this game. We can add a long list of former NFL players to this list, too, of possible guys who will be at the game, including Calvin Johnson and Herman Moore. Let's go.

We could spot more celebrities, too. I'm thinking that to represent MSU, Tom Izzo will be there. I'm also guessing Jim Harbaugh will be at the game, unless he's saving all of his cheering power for his brother's team, the Baltimore Ravens.
