AFC Champions
New England Patriots
Yes, the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots finally received their rings at a ceremony at the house of owner Robert Kraft.
It is in keeping with the previous designs for Patriots Super Bowl rings, in that it is in white gold, and features a whole bunch of diamonds. According to one estimate in the link below, it features 143 diamonds, while the other estimate suggests even more - 205 diamonds!
There is also one statement that reads clear as day:
Do Your Job
Looks nice, overall. Below is the link, so that you can see it for yourself. Also, below that, the story of how Darrelle Revis, the cornerback who has played with the New York Jets, Tampa Bay Bucs, and last year with the New England Patriots, winning his first ring there, skipped the ceremony, allegedly due to a prior obligation that he could not get out of.
What would be more important than receiving your championship ring? Seems to me like it might be a little bit of gamesmanship on the part of Revis, although I could be wrong.
In any case, the link to both stories can be found down below.
