Default 42 rings, 42 stories

In the spirit of Super Bowl week, ESPN has a neat little feature at this link. I haven't gone through them all yet. Good stuff so far!

Great stories but they aren't "World Champions" unless they beat the Grey Cup winner. I think the stamps can take down the giants on a CFL field with CFL rules.

Especially in Jerry Kramer's case. Takes it off to wash his hands in the bathroom of an airplane. When he realizes he doesn't have it, the flight attendant makes an announcement and nobody comes forward? There are some pretty scummy people out there. (not saying that breaking into somebody's home and stealing is any better. Just amazed how some people have no problem taking other people's property).

Agreed. I can't believe Justin Tuck's story either, of how he fell asleep on a plane and felt a tug on his finger, and looked to discover one of the flight attendant's trying to take it right off his finger! Where do you even get the balls to pull a maneuver like that?? I hope at the very least she was fired. So many slimy and greedy people in the world today.

I hope she was incarcerated. I doubt that was the first time she had tried something like that.

I think there are so many lost/stolen because those make the more interesting stories.

"I got my ring and only wear it on special occasions" would be pretty boring 42 times.
