As it turns out, you do not need to win a Super Bowl to get a Super Bowl ring. Arizona's Edgerrin James, who did not win a Super Bowl while playing for the Colts, did receive a Super Bowl ring from the team. Pretty classy move by that organization, although it's not the way I would've played it.

James signed with the Cardinals as a free agent in March of 2006, and less than a year later the Colts were champs. Instead of sending him a ring, I would've sent a picture of the ring with a note that said "Suck it!"

I don't have a big problem with him getting a ring, I just didn't know this was possible. Was it a spare ring? Are there usually extras to give out? Why don't we know more about ring distribution? Will my support of the Cowboys someday lead to a ring in the mail from Jerry Jones? And why not? I want answers to my Super Bowl ring questions.

Over the weekend, announcers also revealed that Pittsburgh's Willie Parker bought his dad a new car after winning the Super Bowl, and hid the ring in the trunk as a bonus. Let's hope he got him a good home security system too.
