Super Bowl XLIV ring pics

73Saint · 10-04-2011, 02:53 PM

So, pretty pumped right now. I met the previous assistant to Tom Benson a while back. He told me he had a SB ring in a safe deposit box, and perhaps one day we could coordinate my seeing said ring. Well today, I happened to stop by his office...and he had the ring with him. I got to spend about thirty minutes, un-interrupted with him and the ring. It was pretty damn cool. The guy was super-nice, told me all sorts of inside stuff about the team, Benson, the ring, etc., etc. I was like a kid at Christmas.

Thought y'all might appreciate. I have never posted pics, so I hope this works ok....

Me. The ring was so small, that's as far as it would go on my finger. Had to make do... I wish I had a better camera, the cell phone pics aren't very good. It was still really cool.
