Giants, Raiders remember 2007 season in style
The New York Giants were awarded their Super Bowl Rings last night in a plush ceremony at Tiffany & Co. Meanwhile, a continent away, Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis commemorated his teams’ 2007 campaign my handing out cans of Dinty Moore® Beef Stew. The ritzy Manhattan affair was marked by a regal blue carpet leading to the famed jeweler’s front door. While on the west coast, Raiders owner announced the stew giveaway via an index card thumb-tacked to the bulletin board at the OTAs.
The rings, designed with input from the players, are worth an estimated $25,000 each. Said Eurydice Kleinschmidt, Special Project Coordinator for Tiffany’s, “This isn’t just a Super Bowl victory, it’s a New York Super Bowl victory. Everything has got to be bigger, brighter more exciting.” Davis scored the Dinty Moore for $7.99 per case. Floor Manager Gregg Sekelski of the Fremont Costco explained, “A few cases of the Dinty Moore fell off the forklift today. Some of the cans were dented, so we thought we’d have to throw them away. Fortunately this creepy old guy in old lady’s glasses bought them right up.”
“Winning a championship is great and all. But once you put that ring on your finger, it’s a whole other story,” gushed linebacker Kawika Mitchell. Davis was equally enthusiastic about his prize, “Stew keeps the boys from gettin’ the consumption or hip gout. Silly cabin haystack carburetor.”

Accepting the can of Dinty Moore is the son of the guy who played Huggy Bear.

If I had designed them, the rings would have spelled “Suck It, Patriots” in diamonds across the top. Then, on one side, it would have said “19-0″ and on the other, “LOL.”

Al Davis’ glasses make him look like he should co-host Coffee Talk.

Grandpa Simpson should not be running a football team.

That looks like the time Al Davis had to chase all those kids playing football off his grass. Every Sunday. Young whippersnappers!!
Not the Raiders of course, since they don’t actually play football, but all the other kids on his grass.

We need more posts like these. That was just awesome.

Davis then added “You whippersnappers can make fun of my failing memory all you want, but at least I would never forget the Friday Cheerleader Post.”

I heard Al Davis applies a coat of beef stew to his face every morning to keep “that natural shine.”

Since Gibril Wilson now plays for the Raiders, I wonder if he got a Super Bowl ring and a can of Dinty Moore. Lucky bitch.
