Super Bowl Swag: George Andrie's 'Super Bowl' Ring

If you're looking for a good conversation piece at your Super Bowl party ... I don't know that you could do any better than this.

It's an actual, legitimate, "Super Bowl" ring ... kind of. The auction describes it as an "AUTHENTIC SUPER BOWL V NFC CHAMPIONSHIP RING," though I think it would be more accurate to just call it an NFC Championship ring. Unless you want to call it a loser's Super Bowl ring.

The Cowboys were participants in Super Bowl V, though they lost the game to the Colts (since then, the Cowboys have a little bit better history with the Super Bowl). This particular ring belonged to Cowboys defensive end George Andrie, a five-time Pro Bowler.

I didn't even know they made rings for conference champions. Do they still do this? Is there any player out there who seriously values their conference championship ring? Does Peyton Manning have one? If he loses on Sunday, will he wear it around? Will people laugh at him? Do you like question marks?

At any rate, the fact that it's a conference championship ring makes it easier to understand why George Andrie donated it to charity. How it ended up being hocked on eBay, I couldn't tell you. But the thing already has 25 bids and is up over $6,000. It's evidently very expensive to celebrate Super Bowl losers these days.
