Not a bad prize after a 14 (I think?) year hiatus...



Granted BIG BLUE had 17 (I think?) between their last two SB's...

I didn't realize the whole board of directors get rings –– or is it just the executive committee?  They have quite a few directors.

Not sure what his position was, exactly.  But the ring was real enough!

How heavy does something like that weigh?

Weight = the better part of a roll of dimes or so.

That is very cool!



I believe the player rings are different than the other rings and are usually bigger and more elaborate in terms of gem stones etc.

fwiw, my post was dripping with jealousy

I was so close to seeing the pack pre season against the seachickens when they came out here. Instead, I ended up running around in the desert in Cali

Six years without a packer game in the flesh is a hard thing man.

My aunt took a couple pictures of the one she got to see as well. She works for a law firm and one of the people that was around had a ring, not a player but I think on the board as well. Nice looking rings for a display case.

On another note, I find it funny that now that the lockout is over every radio station has some sort of "Congratulations to our championship Green Bay Packers" blip airing, like they didn't exist during the lockout, and now that it's over it's okay to acknowledge them again.
