The ultimate symbol of success for an NFL player is a Super Bowl ring -- the ring that signifies that the wearer was on a championship team. But players on the team that loses the Super Bowl usually get a conference championship ring, too. And last night on NBC, Keith Olbermann poked fun at Cris Collinsworth for wearing his conference championship "Super Bowl" ring after losing in Super Bowl XVI:

I have to say, Olbermann is right on that one. You don't go around referring to a piece of jewelry as a "Super Bowl ring" unless you got it for winning a Super Bowl. In fairness, it wasn't actually Collinsworth who referred to that ring as a Super Bowl ring. But I'm glad Jerome Bettis put Collinsworth in his place by showing him a real Super Bowl ring.
