Scoop Soup: Doin' the Super Bowl Shuffle
Clearly, this isn't the giant one you see on TV -- apparently, each player on the winning team gets a mini Lombardi trophy with his name on it.
Uh-huh.Ìý That's me.
WITH THE LOMBARDI TROPHY!!!!
Yup, I'm hanging out a new friend's house, I'm checking out all the pictures on the piano when� I'm sorry, is that the Lombardi trophy???
"Oh yes," she says, "it's my husband's.Ìý He got it when he won the Super Bowl with the Bears."
Ho.Ìý Ly.Ìý Crap.
I was in house, and I had no idea.
I'm a huge football fan, and while the are and always have been my team, I kinda loved me some Super Bowl Shuffle.
Not only was that Willie Gault's team; that was his song.
The rest of my visit was all about me geeking out.Ìý Willie himself wasn't there, so he was spared my slavish fawning.Ìý His Super Bowl ring, however, wasn't so lucky.
You think it was easy to hold my hand up? Those things are heavy!

The ring has a TON of detail -- this is the final score of the game
I guess each ring has the player's name on it. So cool...

Here it is in all its blingy head-on finery. If only it was the Eagles logo... sigh...
Are you a fan of any professional sports?Ìý Have you had any geek-out encounters with sports heroes (or their let's-play-with-it-when-they're-not-around swag)?Ìý I wanna hear all about them!
