and Arthur Blank is butthurt about it

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/01/arthur-blank-was-not-happy-that-robert-kraft-put-283-diamonds-in-patriots-rings/

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.”

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.

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. 

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

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      Yeah, the first thing I thought about is why argue about "conduct detrimental to the team?" Just don't do anything stupid and you should be OK. Top and even mid tier professional athletes get a lot more leeway than regular Joes out here bustin' the pavement, and we know that if we end up on the news for negativity that we've done our there in society, our ass is gonna get canned.

      I mean 1-6 the WR group is pretty good.  All 6 won’t see the field at the same time.  I’d say 3 WR sets or less a majority of the time if our commitment to the run game is to be believed. With that said, the o line is our strength.  Behind that we have a RB room with 2 1000 yard rushers.  Personally I think both groups are “better” at this time.  And if we’re only going 2-3 players deep the Corners have an argument for being a better unit than the WRs as we currently sit. tl;dr  Another lazy article by the world wide leader in sports…

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      Ah, I see. You're saying he's just a short game guy... but wouldn't the team still have needed a deep threat to keep those safeties from creeping down like they were when Reich/Brown had him dinking and dunking? Who from this list is preventing that from happening last season? David Moore? Then what about this season? Darius Slayton? I'm not saying that weren't better moves to have been made, but I don't think that AT is the half-in, half-out mindset as suggested. He came in under Reich, was a dependable veteran for a rookie HC that has a background with WRs, and is now set to make $2M less than the aforementioned Darius Slayton. What I am saying I guess is that when stepping back and looking at all of the available data points, the Adam Thielen signing was one of the few moves that this team has made that has worked out. Going to be fun seeing if Jimmy Horn Jr can contribute right away as that quick-twitch slot guy the team has been looking for. I don't see Thielen playing the entire season, so the sooner Jimmy picks things up the better.
