Who gets a Super Bowl ring?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I read somewhere this summer about a guy who had a SB ring for being on the practice squad. Sorry, up-and-comers, that's silly.

Who do you think should get one? The scouting staff? How about the IT guys who make the spread sheets?

I can see the philosophy of giving EVERYBODY on the team payroll a SB ring. That's hundreds of rings.

If you are going to pick-and-choose, it really ought to be players from the 53, and a very small circle, IMO.

I shoveled snow out of Lambeau Field the year the Packers won the Super Bowl, where's my ring?

[mraynrand]

Hey, they even gave snowflake a ring. Or was that an AFCCG ring? Wait, snowflake took that ring from Finkel/Crosby. Oh hell, never mind.

[bobblehead]

Well, I think everyone who is on the 53 throughout the year should get a ring this season since we will be winning the superbowl.

What about all of the hundreds of shareholders? Where is our ring?

Which 53? The start of the year 53? End of the year? What about the guys who go on IR? What about the bottom of the roster guys who contribute something in the early weeks but then get cut? If you're the 2010 Packers, your players from the 53 actually turn out to be closer to 73. And then there is the coaching staff, the administration, the physician who put all the broken pieces back together, the equipment guy who swept up all the broken pieces. Yours is a loaded question.

Owners do generally give themselves a ring. Of course, they're also generally paying for them, so I guess if you want to drop the $30K or so, you should be allowed!

As far as number of rings, the league subsidizes a fixed number, but I've found different counts, two of 150, one of 70

My brother in law is a share holder and he got a share holder version of the ring. Much smaller but still awesome.

I think Harlan should get one.

Is this what you would do? Is there any packer employee who you would not give a ring to? Practice squad transients? Slocum?

I would give rings to players who were on IR or spent more than two weeks on 53. I would not give rings to medical/training staff. I would be stingy with management. I think a SB ring is an athletic and coaching reward.

If they are giving out 150 rings, it means many employees got them. But far from all. I think that is lousy. Better to just make it for the players and coaches.

Alternatively, I can see giving rings to whole organization as a gesture. That is 200 or 300, I should think.

I think that anyone who was on the active roster (anyone less than the full season must have seen game time), the coaching staff, GM, upper management and scouting staff. My apologies to the IT staff and receptionist.

You know some teams (NE for instance) have given cheerleaders rings, right?

If they play a snap, they can have a ring.

Don't almost all team employees get one usually?
