The Best Part About Patriots’ Lavish Super Bowl Rings? They Came On NFL’s Dime
Share this: The New England Patriots’ latest Super Bowl victory arguably was their sweetest, and the fantastic rings they received Friday were icing on the cake. But hear us out: It somehow gets even sweeter for the Patriots and their fans. New England players, coaches, team executives and staffers received a total of 150 Super Bowl rings Friday, which each featured exactly 283 diamonds in a terrific nod to the team’s historic Super Bowl LI comeback against the Atlanta Falcons. The best part? Those rings all came on the NFL’s dime. As it does every year, the league covered the cost for the Patriots’ fancy bling, paying for all 150 rings.

Even Shannon Sharpe Thinks Tom Brady Is Greatest Player In NFL History

Atlanta Hawks’ Twitter Account Got Pretty Cocky Before Patriots’ Super Bowl Comeback
The Atlanta Hawks learned the hard way Sunday night you can’t ever count out Tom Brady and the New England Patriots — and no, that’s not a typo: We’re talking about the NBA team — not the NFL team, the Falcons, which blew a 25-point lead in the biggest Super Bowl choke of all time.

But they got a little carried away Sunday night while tweeting about Super Bowl LI. Here’s how the Hawks started the night: Bold move. Comparing a first-round NBA playoffs series to the Super Bowl is
Patriots’ Defense Knew They Wouldn’t Play In Overtime Because Of Tom Brady
Share this: HOUSTON — Some things in life are just certain: Death, taxes, Roger Goodell filibustering during a news conference and Tom Brady leading his team to a touchdown in the first overtime in Super Bowl history. Needless to say, the Patriots’ defense had confidence Brady would lead their team to victory in overtime of Super Bowl LI against the Atlanta Falcons when New England won the coin toss. “We sat back and (defensive coordinator Matt Patricia’s) going over defense, and we’re like, Matty P, we’re not going out there,” Harmon said.
