The Seattle Seahawks got their NFC Championship rings today in a ceremony in a tent. They were originally supposed to get their Super Bowl champions rings but were robbed by a couple of guys dressed in black and white. (Not quite old wounds, meet scab picking.) The ring itself has the Seahawks logo on a blue volcanic crystallized stone and is surrounded by 58 diamonds. Pretty nifty actually. Let’s hope no one steals it and sells it on ebay.

you know — The officials weren’t that bad in the Super Bowl, and the Hawks were beaten fair and square by the Steelers. They had control of that game early but never took advantage of it. They could’ve won the game despite the numerous calls against them.
What? — Did RJ hijack Jackson’s account?
