Look: Las Vegas Sphere displays Saints’ Super Bowl XLIV championship ring

Now this is cool: there are few marvels of modern engineering that can compare to the Sphere in Las Vegas, an entertainment venue that offers immersive visuals inside and a massive light show on its exterior. Often used for promoting events in Las Vegas, this week the Sphere carried visuals celebrating Super Bowl LVIII matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers — while celebrating all 57 championship games which preceded it.

That includes the New Orleans Saints’ win in Super Bowl XLIV. On Thursday night the Sphere displayed blown-up images of all 57 Super Bowl rings, but none looked as good as the Saints’ diamond-gilded fleur-de-lis. See for yourself:

Chiefs players discuss upcoming Super Bowl LVII ring ceremony

#Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon, LG Joe Thuney and WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling spoke about the upcoming Super Bowl LVII ring ceremony on Thursday night.

The Kansas City Chiefs will host their Super Bowl LVII ring ceremony on Thursday, June 15, just before players leave for a long break between mandatory minicamp and training camp.

Speaking to reporters during Wednesday’s media availability, several Chiefs veterans expressed excitement for the upcoming event.

“We get our rings tomorrow,” Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon said. “I’m excited about that. It’s going to be good.”

The team’s ring ceremony for Super Bowl LIV took place closer to the regular season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They’ll celebrate their Super Bowl LVII victory a little earlier this offseason, giving several former team members a chance to partake in the ceremony.

“I can’t wait to celebrate with the guys,” Chiefs LG Joe Thuney said. “Like I said, such a special group this past season. It’ll be good to see some of the guys. I appreciate the Chiefs organization for putting it together, and (I’m) excited to partake in it.”

Many Chiefs players haven’t yet seen the design for the ring, though they were fitted for their rings shortly after Super Bowl LVII.

“I haven’t seen it yet, man,” Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling said. “So, I guess we’ll find out (tomorrow night).”

Emotions are sure to be high for several players who became champions for the first time. Jerick McKinnon says there won’t be any tears shed during the ceremony.

“Well, I cried at the Super Bowl,” McKinnon said. “I ain’t going to cry tomorrow. I’ll probably pour (myself) a nice little shot of tequila with the guys, and have a little shot with the guys. It’ll be smooth.”

As one of the heroes of Super Bowl LVII, McKinnon reiterated that trading a touchdown for a ring was the right move to make.

“Great trade, great trade,” McKinnon said. “I wouldn’t change it for nothing.”

Georgia shows off 2022 national championship rings

Georgia unveils new natty rings…

The Georgia football program had a busy afternoon leading up to its annual G-Day spring scrimmage. Prior to kickoff, Georgia introduced Uga XI, also known as Boom, as its new mascot. Boom succeeds Uga X, who helped lead Georgia to back-to-back national titles.

Also prior to kickoff, Georgia unveiled its national championship rings for the 2022 team.

The Bulldogs became the only program in the College Football Playoff era to win back-to-back national championships, so it’s not surprising the ring leaned heavily into that accomplishment.

Georgia defeated TCU, 65-7, to win the national championship. It was the largest win in the history of any college football bowl game, and it capped a 15-0 season for the Dawgs.

A closer look at Georgia’s national championship rings

Georgia’s new rings are something else

Georgia unveiled its national championship rings via a ceremony on Saturday during G-Day.

During the spring scrimmage, Georgia seniors received their rings, which they actually helped to design. There’s no doubt that these are some of the coolest looking championship rings we’ve ever seen in college football.

Here’s a look at the hardware:

There has not been any word as to whether or not there will be any replicas released to the public.

Players like Nakobe Dean, Jordan Davis, Julian Rochester, Justin Shaffer and Zamir White all played a huge part in bringing Georgia’s first title since 1980 back home to Athens. Here’s a look at them wearing their rings at G-Day.

WATCH: Eric Stonestreet returns as Randy Reid, little brother of Chiefs HC Andy Reid

Andy Reid’s long lost brother Randy made an appearance at #Chiefs training camp in August, ruffling feathers in hopes of securing himself a Super Bowl ring. | from @TheJohnDillon

Making his second appearance in a cameo role at Kansas City Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph, Randy Reid took some time away from his jet ski and drone sales business to help the team prepare for their season.

Presumably head coach Andy Reid’s younger brother, Randy is a Chiefs superfan, traveling to camp all the way from Oxnard, California with chile relleno burritos in tow for his big brother. While Andy seemed pleased to reunite with Randy after missing their connection last year due to COVID-19 protocols, the rest of the team wasn’t as enthused.

Randy’s main point of contention in his visit was an effort to get a Super Bowl ring from the 2019 campaign in which he constantly reiterated this year that he was part of the team’s success. General manager Brett Veach made his feelings on the subject known, rebuffing him in no uncertain terms.

“Give Randy a ring?” Veach said, fuming after the younger Reid’s antics in practice, “I’d like to wring his neck.”

Perhaps Randy Reid is the Chiefs’ lucky charm, but coaches and players were clearly taken aback by his presence at camp. Between constant drone flights, towel snaps, and unwarranted pointers given by Randy during practice, it seems Andy might’ve needed to reign him in a bit before his distraction caused a scene.

As Kansas City’s regular season opener approaches, Randy Reid could make appearances later in the team’s schedule. Actor Eric Stonestreet, the man behind the (fake) mustache, is a Chiefs fanatic and a Kansas City native, so his attendance to the new GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is sure to provide ample opportunity for more hijinks and buffoonery, especially with a more lax COVID-19 protocol in place this year.

The video above is his first appearance with the team since 2019, and signals that his saga is still just beginning. Could Randy Reid be the Chiefs’ breakout star in 2021?

LOOK: Texas players, staff receive Alamo Bowl rings

The 2019 Alamo Bowl rings have arrived.

When you defeat a highly-ranked team in the Alamo Bowl, you have to show off the ring.

That’s exactly what players and staff began to do on Wednesday via Twitter.

Bob Shipley, father of former wide receivers Jordan and Jaxon, has had a wide variety of job titles in regards to Texas football. Currently, he serves as a football analyst. In the past, he was the director of high school relations.

It’s clear that the entire Shipley family bleeds burnt orange, it’s no surprise that he’s one of the first to show off a proud accomplishment. As a staff member, he received a 2019 Alamo Bowl ring after Texas defeated No. 11 Utah 38-10 on Dec. 31.

Over the past two seasons, the Longhorns have dominated both Georgia and Utah in the Sugar Bowl and Alamo Bowl. Tom Herman is now the first Texas head coach to win his first three bowl game appearances.

It’s certainly not their primary goals of the Big 12 title, appearing in the college football playoff, or winning the National Championship. Even if you fall short of those goals, you at least hope to play in one of the New Year’s Six (NY6) bowls that are the top major NCAA Division I bowl games.

However, the dominating fashion in which they’ve handled well-respected opponents is worth showing off. The ring showcases the Longhorns logo in the middle of the bling, with the Texas tower and respective last name on the side.
