The Giants unveiled the design of their Super Bowl championship ring today, a white gold sparkler that will feature about 1.5 carats in diamonds.
The new ring will even make seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan happy. Shortly after the Giants won the NFL championship with a 17-14 win over the previously undefeated New England Patriots, Strahan said he wanted a “10-table ring.” Loosely defined: He wanted a ring that could be seen 10 tables away in a restaurant. “There was some discussion about maybe one of the rings was too big,” said center Shaun O’Hara, who was among group of players and team executives who designed the ring with officials from Tiffany and Co. “I threw out the fact that it was a big win, it was a huge win, so the ring should be designed accordingly,” O’Hara said. “Michael said it best when he said he wanted a 10-table ring. I think everybody is going to be very pleased with the design. It is very clean, very classy, but at the same time it is very strong.”

Once again, thank you Giants for knocking off the Cheatriots. That was a delicious end to the season.
Cool!
Big Blue fought hard for it and if they want big rings, I can’t say I blame them. Nobody took this team seriously, but they overcame all the odds and all the obstacles.
Now comes the tough part: winning another one.
I agree. One of the best games ever.
NFL ping.
Awesome ring. :D
I still get an ear to ear grin watching replays. Not a big sports fan myself but what an amazing game it was !
From an aesthetic point of view I always thought the the '85 Bears had the nicest design...
Thanks to the Giants for restoring a semblance of honor to the NFL, despite itself.
Somewhere I read of all the book deals that never will be printed because the Pats choked on that last game. I tried to find that magazine cover that was to adorn their perfect season. I'll leave with this article that still brings a smile to my face. I loved it.
“World Champions”?
How many countries took part in this “World Championship”?
And just what does the “N” in “NFL” stand for....?
Oh, be quiet. You’re just silly. Let them enjoy the moment. It will change soon enough.
Is the NFL considering expansion abroad? I think it has fancifully....is it anything more?
Does it matter?
The joy of being the winner lasts really less than one year. If someone wants to think they’re the World Champions, it does not hurt anyone to let them think it.
Why do you hate the Giants? Did they cheat also?
I have been a Giants fan since I was a kid. That was the most enjoyable game in Big Blue history. Brady is still flinching. Couldn’t care less about offense-just loved seeing a wave of defenders crashing into QBs.
