Four months after their stunning Super Bowl win, the New York Giants received their gleaming Super Bowl rings last night. The white gold ring with many diamonds--dubbed a "ten table" ring by defensive end Michael Strahan (so it could be seen ten tables away)-- was designed by Tiffany, which held a ceremony for the team--Big Blue gets baby blue boxes!
The players were thrilled with finally getting their personal memento of the win--Plaxico Burress said he actually woke up at 6:30 a.m. because he was so excited, "My wife thought I was getting ready for a football game with the way I was acting all day." And coach Tom Coughlin, who said Tiffany did a great job with the ring, said, "You are the world champions, you never get tired of hearing about that, it is a tremendous, tremendous accomplishment for this group of young men and how they went about doing it, the coaching staff and the group of players that accomplished what they did.”
The Giants heads into "full squad mini-camp" in two weeks. Oh, and Strahan, who refused to answer questions about whether he'll be back with the team, approved of the ring, telling the Daily News, "After four months of waiting, it's everything I expected it to be. Actually, it's better- looking than I expected because you don't get the 3D effect on the picture. To see it? It's got enough diamonds on it, I'm happy

Awesome guys. Those rings might look more ridiculous on me than my dad's HS ring when I was six years old, but it's a bit of ostentation that is well deserved in my opinion. The Giants were the longest shot against a well-proven favorite, and they pulled out a win fantastically at the wire. Even if one is not a sports fan, it was one of NYC's better moments.
Nice things come in little blue boxes, great things come in large blue jerseys!
Three words:
Suck it, Boston.
Very tasteful design. Does Tiffany do teeth also?
sure they do, they'll engrave a Cracker Jack ring if you have one.
Those rings are so large they can be seen in Boston.
How 'bout dem rings!!!!!!!!!
wow did Eli Manning age like 10 years? He doesn't look like a high school kid anymore.
World champions?! Why stop with this planet, even if there is extraterrestrial life, no way could they beat the giants...so I think they are champions of the universe.
Yes, I am being sarcastic. They won a league championship - not an international competition. Another example of america's "we are the world" thinking.
Yeah you're right, the Giants would surely lose against such non US teams as the Lichtenstein Lightning, the Barcelona Knights or the Hong Kong Hawks. Those are some fearsome teams.
