Lame commercials, boring commentary from Buck and Aikman, near lack of big plays, 14-0 first quarter, terrible play by Roethlisberger, and a Pukers win. Possibly the worst Superbowl ever.

The true highlights were the beer, fish fry, and having a living room full of friends without a Pukers fan in the bunch. wink

You have got to be on drugs. That was one of the best superbowls in the past 15 years. You are in denial, and hate to have seen the Packers win......LOVE IT. Guess it didnt pan out like you'd hoped did it. SB CHAMPIONS!! And many great years to come!

i agree. it was a great game right to the end. for awhile i thought the steelers were going to make a comeback. i dont know the hate some have of any team. they are all people who have great talent and thats why they are there. not many make it to this level. i am a viking fan but glad the packers won. in the end the best team won. good luck.

Bitter are you?? You sound like some of the guys calling in on k-fan this morning, and Paul Allen himself calling them idiots. Torn with envy.......

Envy is such an ugly word...

Seeing the Pukers win the Superbowl is like seeing the girl of your dreams out on a date with Beetlejuice. You know he doesn't deserve her and has no business being there, you don't know really know how anyone could be happy for him, and you assume there was money or a pact with the devil involved.

and who prey tell was the deserving team to be there? They won 3 road playoff games to get to the Super Bowl! I think they more than earned their trip there

oh and they BEAT out the now #2 team in the NFL during the BIG GAME.

Good Luck!

Labs we need a Super Bowl every month it provided us with good phone conversation for two weeks. Lions sweep GB next year and doing so win their first game in GB since 91. Thus knocking the pack out of the playoffs. Heheheheheheh!!!!!!! grin

What a joke. 2009 vikings would walk all over the 2010 pack. Amazing how meaningless winning a SB in this day and age has become.

And in the Vikings case winning one in any age.

Guess there is no point in even playing NFL games any more if the SB is meaningless, "Come on Man"...

Go Pack!

Wasn't the 2009 vikings pretty much the same team as the 2010 vikings? Meaningless would be the 2009 vikings season, not to mention all other vikings seasons...EVER!

Who cares. Seems you are more concerned than I about the Vikes. If they go, so be it as it's simply entertainment and that's it. A bunch of overpaid druggies and guys who prey on women.

Sure is purdy.

And a little bit of history:

110616allrings420.jpg

It’s more than a Super Bowl ring. It’s a ring for the ages.

The four Super Bowl titles, the 13 world championships, the 92 years of franchise history, and the path taken by the 2010 Packers to add this chapter – it’s all in there. It tells an entire tale that marries the storied tradition of the Packers with their singular achievement in 2010.

All in a ring? Sure, and it was done majestically and subtly at the same time.

The ring’s square crest is highlighted by the ‘G’ logo – gold on a green setting, of course – but the overwhelming sparkle of the diamond-dominant presentation shouldn’t distract from all it incorporates.

In each of the four corners of the crest, surrounding the ‘G,’ is a marquis-cut diamond, which is appropriately football-shaped, just like the one on top of the Vince Lombardi trophy. There are four of those for I, II, XXXI and XLV, the four trophies that will reside together forever in the team’s Hall of Fame.

The shape of the ‘G’ itself consists of 13 diamonds, one for each title dating back to 1929, and surrounding the entire crown are 92 diamonds, one for each year the Packers have been in existence.

That’s a lot cleverly depicted on the ring’s face, but that’s not the whole story. The sides, or flanks, of the ring continue the convergence of history with the present.

On the one side that’s personalized for each player with his last name, there’s both an impressively carved image of Lambeau Field – a tribute to the best venue and fans in the NFL – and the player’s jersey number. Each number is circled, just like those on the third jerseys introduced this past year that represent the attire of the first title team in ’29.

On the other side, underneath a logo-lettering of “PACKERS,” is a Lombardi Trophy, with the name of the iconic coach, the NFL shield, and an ‘XLV’ at the base, which captures both the specific game and a piece of its logo.

Together, the primary images on the two flanks can be interpreted as the Lombardi Trophy being brought back to its home, Lambeau Field, which was done two days after the Super Bowl victory in North Texas in front of more than 56,000 fans who braved sub-zero weather to share in the glory.

There’s additional context when the ring is seen next to the Packers’ previous three. It appears to fit with the collection, while simultaneously standing out as the one that represents more history than the others. Each ring builds on the previous one, with the latest edition the culmination, for now.

The saga wouldn’t be complete without the “inside story” to the 2010 season, which is, fittingly, on the inside of the ring.

The Packers became just the third team to win three road playoff games en route to a Super Bowl title, and the scores of all the postseason contests are engraved inside the ring.

Also engraved inside are the numeral “1” along with the words “Mind, Goal, Purpose and Heart” – the very number and terms veteran cornerback Charles Woodson employed with such fervor in his memorable postgame locker-room speech following the NFC Championship in Chicago.

The number and its accompanying characteristics also reflect the unity the Packers needed to overcome numerous obstacles in their path to the championship – countless injuries, back-to-back overtime losses, and a season on the brink with two weeks to go.

As for the basics, the Super Bowl XLV rings are made of platinum, with 18-karat yellow gold, and weigh a little over 4 ounces. The diamonds total 3.35 carats.

The boring basics, however, hardly matter when attempting to absorb a much larger picture, and this ring paints an exquisitely detailed and symbolic image.
