I'm very glad I watched that all the way to the end.

 
That single "suuuuuuck ittttttt" more perfectly serves as a summary statement for Patriots Nation to the world than any number of posts or columns I've read.

 

[JimBoSox9]

That was pretty much my reaction too, except my pants stayed on (because the kids were watching with me). Had they been in bed it most definitely would have been pants off paint the walls and ceiling time.

 
This is why you need to invest in high-quality boxers with a nice secure button fly.  When it's prime time for party time and the xtra-baggy bball shorts abandon you, it's no time to stop and worry.

Funny, just this morning -- for no good reason, I was again replaying this end-of-game sequence while I was in the shower. First, how the flag thrown for celebration gave me a temporary heart attack, but I was able to celebrate again when the ref announced, "the interception is confirmed..."   But then, because the ball was on the half-yard line, I still couldn't take in the joy. It was the next flag, where sheer bliss finally began to settle in. 

You have a TV in the shower?

I actually think that's kind of cool.

Is it wrong to be rooting for a Delonte James style afternoon?

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Will she be wearing a bedazzled Revis jersey a la Ray Allen's mom?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Revis' cousin: @J1mmyM2: Darrelle's mom is not at the ring ceremony bc she was told by the Patriots, after flying to NE that the ticket was "non transferable"

Hahahahaha....I'm torn between feeling the high road is to let her in and admiring the brass balls to keep her out given Revis comments since leaving.

Jeff Howe said on CSNNE that Revis' mom was around the facility quite often last season and had a very good relationship with the Patriots. Said they were very fond of her. I find it hard to believe they would shun her - it only makes them look bad.

I would deny her access, but full disclosure, I'm a petty man.

via #patriots release, SB49 rings are largest Super Bowl rings ever, with a whopping 205 diamonds. 03 & 04 rings had 104, 124 respectively

He doesn't look too worried. Love it!

It's nice I guess but it's nothing compared to a sweet "AFC Finalist" banner.

I like that the newest one is on the middle finger.

Poor Jules. He's got some catching up to do.

Are they big enough for Blount to use as a cock ring? Can we get him a bigger cup for the next photo shoot?

[MentalDisabldLst]

1) Is Belichick wearing both Giants rings on his pinky?
 
2) Looks to me like Brady and Edelman are aping the Richard Sherman "twenty four" thing from the super bowl.
 
3) Revis's mother missed a hell of a party.  Her loss.

Great video from the event from the Patriots website. I noticed a trend of all the guys wearing the rings on their middle fingers all night. Coincidence?

Nice to see Gronk dress up for the occassion lol.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

I only had one thought going through my head as I watched the video. 
 
Hey haters, SUCK IT. 
 
I don't care if Revis didn't want to come. He helped to get everyone a ring and he deserves one. It'll be sweeter if the only ring he'll ever wear will forever have the Patriots logo on it. 

 

[naclone]

How is there not a Belichick infinity gauntlet photoshop yet?

I am so glad for this picture.  Not only because it's another Patriots' ring, but because Vince and BB seem to understand the business side of things.  That is, Vince gets why he's not a Patriot right now, and it's not personal with Belichick.  I want Vince to finish his career well, then come right back to the Patriots in a coaching capacity.

Far be it for the NFL to take a little occasion like its current champions commemorating their Super Bowl win with well-earned rings without getting into the troll game on its official social media. I mean, you don’t have to be Robert Langdon to break the Da Vinci Code of “So. Many. Diamonds.” As in “S.M.D.” As in a particular three-word expression of fighting words, the first of which is “suck” and middle one being “my.” And at the risk of making it too obvious for you, the last one isn’t “diamonds.”

 
I think this is a bridge too far...

 

[Caspir]

I don't know. Seems like the sort of thing some kid in the social media department would do after the PSI Tweet a few weeks ago from the NFL account. I don't think the Patriots would have known, requested, or been involved with it, but whatever. I choose to believe it's true because I want it to be.

Jonathan Casillas 2 Super Bowl rings for comparison.

Wasn't the So. Many. Diamonds. tweet *from* the NFL, not the Pats? That is, the *same* person who pulled the PSI bullshit a few weeks ago?

I want those cuff links.

 
My big wedding ceremony is in September and my wife informed me 2 days ago that she bought 3 sets of SB Champion 49 cufflinks for me and my 2 best men. Not those, mind you, but still pretty nice. I got one of the good ones, I think.

I would love a picture with Bill Russell, TB, Papi and Orr all wearing their rings.  Serious 24x48 Man cave stuff there.  Someone needs to get this done before (god forbid) Russ or Orr pass.
