“I have been blessed to host four Super Bowl ring ceremonies, and just like the rings we present, we have tried to make each ceremony a little bigger and a little better than the one before,’’ Kraft said in a statement. “Football is the consummate team sport. These championship rings represent all that the team endured and overcame together. The players on this team will forever be bound by the memories this ring represents. The presentation of the rings is one of my favorite moments. I love watching the expressions on the faces of each of our players and the range of emotions they experience when they see the ring for the first time and the pride they all have when they put it on. Tonight’s celebration is really a culmination of a job well done.’’
The Patriots’ official Twitter account gave fans a chance to catch a glimpse of the players’ early reactions to receiving their rings. Not surprisingly, everyone at Kraft’s celebration seeemed quite happy with the latest bit of Super bling.
