The Pats' Super Bowl rings from last year feature 283 diamonds

[LinvilleGorge]

and Arthur Blank is butthurt about it

After New England came back from a 28-3 deficit to beat Atlanta in last year’s Super Bowl, Patriots owner Robert Kraft celebrated that comeback by putting 283 diamonds in his team’s Super Bowl rings.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank was not amused.

Blank told the New York Times that he found it unnecessary and tacky that Kraft would put 283 diamonds in the ring, as if to mock the Falcons for the biggest blown lead in Super Bowl history.

“I said to Robert, ‘You didn’t have to do the 28-3 in the ring,’” Blank said. “It kind of pissed me off.”

Some of you people might as well be Patriots fans at this point.

Here ya go, just be sure to share a few with Arthur. Y'all may need some Preparation H to sooth that butthurt.

Imagine some poor, child slave in India, having to put 283 individual tiny diamonds into some rich asshole's superbowl ring. I hate Atlanta as much as the next Panthers fan, but it doesn't deter me from thinking Robert Kraft is a chode.

It is kinda douchey.

Hard to care since it happened to the Falcons, but objectively speaking, yeah...

[LinvilleGorge]

Everyone already thinks the Pats are douchey anyway, so they didn't habe much to lose. Might as well just fully embrace that bad guy role. I think the biggest Super Bowl "come back" before last year was something like 10 points. Teams don't really comeback in the Super Bowl traditionally.

Just had to stop them once. Sorry, Blank, but your team bought and paid for all the 28-3 poo for the rest of time.

[Raskle]

I hate the Pats just as much as the next guy, but that was brilliant and funny as hell!

 

Who cares if it's douchey? Both teams deserve that moniker anyways, so what's the issue?

Is this how you think high quality NFL championship rings are made?

My bad, Jostens only uses prison labor to make their caps and gowns.

Crazy that the same company that designed and made that high school graduation ring that you probably can't even find these days also designs and makes the Super Bowl rings.

The greatest comeback in SB history.

You have to commemorate that, even if it's a troll job and the Patriots.
