Giants hand out 1.5-carat Super Bowl XLII rings

NEW YORK -- After four months of celebrations, parades, dinners
and a tour of the White House, the New York Giants got their
final reward on Thursday night for winning the Super Bowl: the
bling.

The Giants walked a blue carpet on fashionable Fifth Ave and
then were handed their Super Bowl championship rings in a
private ceremony at Tiffany and Co.
Super Bowl XLII: Giants 17, Patriots 14

"As a kid you always think about winning a Super Bowl, winning a
championship," tackle David Diehl said. "When you have that ring
you are in a unique class. It is something that we will remember
for the rest of our lives and something no one will be able to
take away from us."

While most of the team attended the ceremony, there were some
notable exceptions.

Tight end Jeremy Shockey, who broke his leg late last season and
then expressed concerns about his role with the team, was
absent, along with linebacker Antonio Pierce, who is on his
honeymoon.

Fifty-three players attended, led by Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning
and defensive ends Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan.

Even linebacker Kawika Mitchell and safety Gibril Wilson, who
signed with other teams in the offseason, and Lt. Col. Greg
Gadson, an Army officer who lost his legs in Iraq and became an
inspiration for the team after meeting the players, attended.
They each were given one of the white gold sparklers with about
1.5 carats in diamonds.

"It's a 10-table stunner," Strahan said, waving the ring in
front of his face for effect and noting it can be seen in a
restaurant from 10 tables away.

Punter Jeff Feagles, who waited 20 years to win a championship,
dropped his right shoulder to mimic the Hunchback of Notre Dame
when asked about the weight of the rings, which the team said
cost about $5,500 apiece, but are valued at $25,000.

Co-owners Steve Tisch and John Mara addressed the team and coach
Tom Coughlin handed the rings to each player as he was called
up.

"Having the opportunity to look every player in the eye as they
came up and the joy and excitement that they demonstrated as
they came forward to receiver a memento of a world championship
was special," Coughlin said. "It's a feeling the players will
carry in their hearts forever."

Manning felt having the team together made the ceremony special.

"We did it together and won it as a team," said Manning, who
also got a wedding ring since the Giants' 17-14 win over the
previously unbeaten New England Patriots on Feb. 3 in Glendale,
Ariz. "Every game was different and in every situation someone
else stepped up and contributed to us winning. It's all about
the Giants."

David Tyree laughed when asked what it meant to get the ring at
long last.

"It means I get to bling this thing," Tyree said.

On the only serious matter of the night, Strahan declined to say
whether winning a title would lead to his retirement after 15
seasons.

"Don't even go there," Strahan said. "You're ruining the
interview." New York Giants

The ring features the team's three Super Bowl trophies,
signifying the
Giants' Super Bowl victories in 1987, 1991 and last February.

The team's "NY" logo is set in round diamonds, while "World
Champions" is emblazoned in raised letters on the top and bottom
bezel, with channel- set diamonds on the left and right bezel.

The ring's shanks celebrate the season, noting the team's
"Eleven Straight on the Road," an NFL single-season record; the
NFL shield; as well as each player's name and number in raised
letters appear on one shank.

The final score, "Super Bowl XLII," date (02.03.08) and 'AZ'
appear on the other shank.

If there was any doubt, however, that the time for celebrating
was ending, it was this reminder: The Giants resume practice on
Friday. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com **

That's all very nice but quit using my ID

NO!


I said YES! we can play hardball if you want.


I thought this was football?



When you're using MY id, it's what I say it is!




Unless you out rank me I don't take no orders from anyone!



But I DO outrank you! You see, I'm not an x-con pedo....

'nuf said.

sure you are, it's not me who's the econ pedo it's you!


is that why you troll on the pedophila ng?

thats you not me!




why are you trying so desperately to hide the truth!

You know you are an ex con pedo who needs to register as a sexual
predator every time you enter a new police district in this country. You
don't need to be ashamed of what you have done, you served your time in
the slammer with your boy friends, now just chill out a bit and enjoy
life!

I believe that is where YOU are, dude!

no answer eh?



Since you never made it past basic training in the military, as you were
found unfit for military service due to you liking sex with boys, and I
spent a full 24 yrs in both the Army Special Forces Covert Ops and the
Marines I would say I outrank you by a wide margin.


But tell us why they kicked you out. Oooops!


I retired at full grade pay!


Hey, don't be glum my friend, not everyone can make it thru the
military.


I never made claim to be in the military.

you don't have the guts to do it. Like I said earlier, not everyone is
fit to be in the military.


I refuse to fight in the
senseless wars that we are so eager to start, yet so hesistant or unable
to finish.

sounds an excuse not to serve if you ask me.



Hey, it's Friday night, take a drive and you may find a
horny boy looking for a bj.

no, it's Friday afternoon and the Celtics just won the eastern
conference, time for the ladies to come home from work.
Got some good Sashimi and Kiren for me and the ladies.
Then watch the new Rambo movie!

Very cool!!

You're actually admitting to watching that steaming pile?
