See every single Super Bowl ring design (and winner) dating back to 1967

Some of these rings are especially beautiful.

Ask any football player at any level and they will tell you that they have always dreamed of winning a Super Bowl ring, which remains true for the 2025 Super Bowl.

The first Super Bowl rings were awarded in 1967 and since that year, the NFL has awarded rings to the franchises that have won the championship each season.

Over the years, the details of the championship rings have only become more and more amazing.

We don’t know which team will be the next to earn a Super Bowl ring. But let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit every single one in NFL history.

Here are all of the Super Bowl rings so far, from the first to the most recent:

12 celebrity fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, including Jason Sudeikis and (duh) Taylor Swift

The Chiefs have a TON of famous fans.

Editor’s note: This post was originally published in 2024 and has been updated for the 2025 Super Bowl.

If you like tracking celebrity sightings at sporting events, it is a busy time to follow the Kansas City Chiefs. Especially as they take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl on Sunday in New Orleans.

Taylor Swift has attended numerous games while supporting her partner, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. As such, particularly last season, we saw many of her very famous friends (including Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively as well as Cara Delevingne and Keileigh Teller) at Kansas City games.

KENDRICK LAMAR SUPER BOWL: 15 guest stars we hope Kendrick Lamar brings out for the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show

It was not long ago that a mic’d up Paul Rudd was the most excited while celebrating on the field with the players after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. He and his son also gave the most adorable interview following a big victory.

But it wasn’t the first time that the famous actor celebrated on the field after Kansas City won the Super Bowl. Rudd was also joined by Eric Stonestreet (the actor who played Cameron in Modern Family) when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2020.

Here are some of the other most notable names rooting for Kansas City:

Notre Dame women’s basketball adds yet another 5-star talent

Rich get richer…

Notre Dame has had a plethora of talent enter the women’s basketball program recently and even more is on the way.

Kateryna “Kate” Koval signed with Notre Dame this week and will join the program next season.  Koval is rated as a five-star talent and the fifth overall prospect in next year’s class according to ESPN.

Koval grew up in Ukraine but now attends Long Island Lutheran (Brookville, N.Y.).  She was named the Gatorade New York Girl’s Basketball Player of the Year last year as she averaged 15.1 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 3.4 blocks per contest.

Koval stands 6-5 and will join the Irish next season.

This Chicago Bulls team makes no sense this season

What sort of Bulls squad will we see take the court for the NBA’s 2024 play-in tournament?

This Chicago Bulls team makes no sense this season. The inconsistent play makes for a dizzying ball club in terms of keeping track of the kind of teams they tend to beat, and those they tend to lose to in their more recent contests this campaign.

With wins over the mighty Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, and Indiana Pacers (and twice, at that) since the start of the month of March, you might think the Bulls are trending in the right direction as the postseason draws near. But Chicago has also dropped games to the Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, and even the lowly Washington Wizards in recent weeks.

Appearing to be as confused about their identity as a ball club as we are, what sort of Bulls squad will we see take the court for the NBA’s 2024 play-in tournament?

The folks behind the “Bulls Central” YouTube channel took a closer look at these concerning trends on a recent episode of their show. Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about Chicago’s uneven play of late.

These 18 Falcons players are about to be free agents

These 18 Falcons players will be free agents starting on Wednesday, March 13

The NFL’s 2024 league year begins in a few days and teams have already started trimming their rosters to free up salary cap space. The Atlanta Falcons released tight end Jonnu Smith and re-signed three others, bringing their cap total to roughly $37.2 million.

Any player without a contract on March 13 will become a free agent, although teams can start negotiating contracts on March 11. The Falcons have 18 players set to hit free agency, including defensive lineman Calais Campbell and cornerback Jeff Okudah.

Here’s a rundown of all 18 free agents (each player is labeled as unrestricted (UFA), restricted (RFA), or exclusive rights (ERFA):

NBA All-Star rosters: Here is the full list for the 2024 game (with injury replacements)

This is who will represent the West and the East in Indianapolis.

The 2024 NBA All-Star Game will return to the conference rivalry format and we now know which players will represent the East and West.

Although we already knew the starters after they were announced late last month, seven more players from each conference got the call that they will head to Indianapolis for the game on Feb. 18 as well.

The captains (LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo) remain the same as last year but this year, it is just an honorary distinction. They are denoted below in bold.

Injured places are indicated with a strikethrough for their name and injury replacements are indicated with an asterisk.

Q&A: Tyrese Haliburton on entering All-Star Weekend in an Indy car, the 3-point contest and more

“All of these people are here for All-Star Weekend, and I’m the Hoosier representative,” Tyrese Haliburton told For The Win.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton is one of the busiest individuals at the NBA’s 2024 All-Star Weekend.

Haliburton, who led Eastern Conference guards in All-Star votes from fans as well as media and players, earned an appearance as the starting point guard in the East for the All-Star Game.

The 23-year-old represents the Pacers, the hosts of NBA All-Star Weekend for the first time since 1985. He is just the fourth player in franchise history to ever make an appearance in the starting lineup of the All-Star Game. For the second year in a row, Haliburton will also participate in the Starry 3-point Contest.

Haliburton took some time to catch up with For The Win to discuss showing up to All-Star Weekend in an Indy car, the love he received from Larry Bird and Reggie Miller and more.

This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

Taylor Swift’s surprise songs from night 1 of her Melbourne Eras Tour show include 1 big surprise

The Eras Tour is back underway, so it’s time for surprise songs once again.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour continued on Friday night in Melbourne, Australia (morning in the United States). The now 14-time Grammy winner will be touring almost non-stop for the entire year, and at each show she adds two “surprise songs” to her 44-song, three hour plus set list.

MORE: Fans absolutely loved Taylor Swift’s response to Travis Kelce about jet lag after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win

On night one in Melbourne — the biggest performance ever with 96,000 in attendance — Swift went with a combination of “Red,” from Red, and “You’re Losing Me” from Midnights. Swift will be in Melbourne Saturday and Sunday before heading to Sydney for four shows.

2024 WNBA Free Agency Tracker: Where stars like Breanna Stewart and Nneka Ogwumike will play next season

Breanna Stewart is staying in New York, but other names like Nneka Ogwumike, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Jordin Canada are with new teams.

WNBA Free Agency is off to a running start. Things got going very early with tons of deals being agreed to. However, there are still so many unknowns, including a new wrinkle: whether or not Elena Delle Donne will play this season.

Free agency for the league started January 21, and though deals could not be signed until February 1, there have been lots of head-turning moves. With the New York Liberty officially giving Breanna Stewart a core designation, all eyes turned to other big names like Nneka Ogwumike, Skylar Diggins-Smith, and Candace Parker.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

However, a new reality is setting in with another big name. Elena Delle Donne and the Washington Mystics’ future is legitimately up in the air, and it’s not clear what will happen for the 2024 season.

As rumors turn to confirmations, here are the top WNBA free agency moves thus far:

**This player has a “core” designation. A “core” designation allows a team to designate a player as essential to the team’s success and identity. Any player with this label no longer has an unrestricted free agent status, giving the team exclusive rights to negotiate a new contract. Additionally, per the WNBA CBA, the player will be offered a one-year super-max contract at minimum, but a longer deal can be made with the team.
