Here’s some more info on the Lords of the Rings.

We’re hearing their value is $25,000 apiece, but that Tiffany’s only charged the G-men about $5,500 per. So that explains having the ceremony and the Blue Carpet and the press conferences in front of the banner with the Giants logo and Tiffany’s all over it. OK.

Apparently, Burress arrived and slipped in. Shockey and Pierce (honeymoon) were the notable no=shows.

Here are some comments  on the ceremony:

Like his dad, Giants president John Mara is a modest man. So when he saw the first version of the Giants’ championship ring, his immediate thought was, “It’s kind of big.”
Then, he said, Sean O’Hara told him, “Well, it was a big win.”

More Eli:
“It’s very special To win the game and you go through all those emotions, and you kind of relive it today with all your teammates and coaches and owners and everybody here. It’s great to finally get it.”

Manning was on a small committee of those who helped design the rings, and he beamed when he said, “It came out the way we thought it would: Perfect.”

Coughlin: “It’s a really exciting night. I know everyone’s been waiting for this.
“The thing that’s important to recognize in terms of our players and our organization is tonight we’ll spend a lot of time talking about the ring and what he ring symbolizes, but really what it is, you’re going to carry this in your heart forever. That’s what’s important. We’re world champions and you never get tired of hearing about that.”

Gibril Wilson, who signed w ith Oakland: “We’re going to be linked together forever.”

Kawika Mitchell, who signed with Buffalo and said he was emotional: “Definitey,” he said. “This seals the deal. Winning a championship was great, obviously, and it was a dream come true, but once you put that ring on your finger it’s a whole ‘nother story.”

More Strahan, holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy and flashing his ring: : “Incredible. Incredible,”

He called the ring his “10-table stunner.

“I waited a long time to get it. Everybody’s so proud and this is a heck of an accomplishment. I mean, you win the game, and that is phenomenal. I think this just solidifies it. This allows us to go back and think about the past.”
