does everyone on a superbowl winning team get a ring? even the guys who ride the bench?

Yes it is, even those that are on injured reserve get one, like Trent Green.

yes ben roethlisburger.\n\nSteelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger currently is undergoing surgery for injuries suffered in a Monday morning automobile accident.\n\nDr. Larry Jones of Mercy Hospital declined to offer any details regarding the nature of the surgery.\n\nRoethlisberger is listed in serious but stable condition. Dr. Jones said that Roethlisberger was alert and talking before the commencement of the procedure.\n\nReporters on WTAE are speculating that Roethlisberger is having surgery to repair jaw injuries.\n__________________\n\nother conflicting reports are saying he is bleeding into his brain.\n\nhere are my vview on things:\nI'm reading through some of the comments about this situation "I hope it's not serious", "gee that's too bad, we hope he'll be all right"..."he's a great player, hope he can still play"... but I can't help thinking "what a waste."\n\nHow many of us would love to be living a dream, to be a pro football player, making millions? This kid is already on record as the youngest QB ever to win a Superbowl, he's got his whole life and career in front of him, and he doesn't care to protect all that he has to live for?\n\nOne article I read mentions how players past and present, as well as his coach have appealed to him to reconsider his celebration of freedom in not having to wear a helmet. Fellow Americans presumably equally in support of "freedom" yet were also able to consider what he potentially had to lose if he should meet in an accident.\n\nAnd here we are. The article I read said "injuries do not appear life-threatening." Will he play again? Sheesh, we are not out of the woods of whether he'll have a sound mind again, let alone make critical decisions with a blitzing linebacker zeroing in on him.\n\nAs a fan, this player attitude has always bugged me. The discussion issue to which I'm referring is whether athletes, paid by fans, should have some obligation to the fans. Ticket prices go up when big name players are signed, and if they are injured - especially preventable injuries - why shouldn't ticket prices go down and let insurance pay their salary, or refuse it if they insist on taking unnecessary risks?\n\nCase in point - at the beginning of this last NHL season, Toronto Maple Leaf captain Mats Sundin gets hit in the eye. He refuses to wear facial protection, and he's out for the first month. Duh.\n\nLike everyone else in the sports world, I join in wishing Big Ben a full recovery. I hope we get to see him continue what many are now confident must be a hall of fame career. Do I feel sorry for him? Sure...but, for crying out loud, at what point do we hold people accountable for taking unnecessary risks? Wearing a helmet might have rendered this a great story about how he had the accident yet was ok.\n\nThis may not be a popular position, but heck, don't we as parents get upset with our 7 year olds for playing near the stairs or not looking both ways before crossing the street? If we expect kids to make smarter decisions in the interest of their own safety, why is it so easy to make excuses for "adults"?

YES I DO !!! I've been a fan for a very LONG time. I live in New England and am a fan of the Patriots. But, Seattle has been my team for the past 15 years. I've been flying their colors and living with the highs & lows of the team. It would be excellent to have that form of validation as a fan. To be a fan of a Super Bowl winning team. I feel bad for Indy. I was looking forward to a great showdown. GO HAWKS !!! I did get to go see my first NFL game last year. Seahawks @ the Patriots. The 'Hawks lost. But what an experience.

People like to throw out completion rating and TD stats when talking about the Greatest QB ever. The dude is the master of game management.  All that matters is The ring and he has three of them and should be in the top 5.  Just ask Peyton Manning or Dan Marino if he would trade all those stats for a ring.

You mean the Guy with 3 super bowl rings?\nThe Guy beats the Colts and Peyton (gag, choke) Manning\nevery year in the playoffs is gay?\n well I guess a Colts fan would know since the Colts are the Patriots' bit@h

These people are none other than people who hop the bandwagons, Steelers and Packers have alot of them, same with the patriots. Before they won the SB no one even bought Patriot Jerseys. Sometimes people just like different players so they wear their jerseys.

Right now i dont think they deserve it, but once they get greg oden back(hes a beast) they are going to go on a run just like the football team. I think they will be playing in the finals this year.

How about Trent Dilfer?  He played for the Baltimore Ravens and WON the superbowl in 2000.  And yet, they got rid of him after the season was over.  I believe he may be the only QB to ever be let go from a team after winning the supebowl.

WHOA dude - that is a good question.  I am so stoned right now I cannot even remember my name.  But I would like to think that it will be cool when the Broncos win the Super Bowl XL in Detroit this year against the Seattle Seahawks.  I think the Seahawks have a great team with Steve Largent, Shaun Alexander and Jim Zorn.  They can move the ball effectively and they should win it all I think.  I got to go to the bathroom now and take care of  business - if you know what I mean.  You ever danced with the Devil?  Man - I am fried right now.  WHOA.

"until peyton wins 3 superbowl rings, or 10 straight palyoffs wins\n\nhe's not tom brady\n\ntom brady should have won that game,"\n\noh yeah, I totally forgot that the rings were earned by Brady single-handedly and they give him magic winning powers.  Apparently the magic faded against the Jets\n\nThe PATRIOTS won the rings because they were/are a better TEAM than the colts. Peyton Manning IS the colts (IMHO, if a different QB was there, even with Marvin and Reggie, they would be MUCH worse off).  He single handedly beat the Broncos by throwing 3 TDs against a team that had given up, about 1 (IIRC) in all 6 games before that.  "Brady doesn't have any one particular reciever" --Like Peyton doesn't? He usually spreads it around and can STILL get top 2 WRs over 1000 yards (and even when they still had Edge). He gets it to his top 3 WRs and top 2 TEs all the time.  He spreads it around with the best of them.\n\nSorry to rant, but I don't care how glitzy SB rings are, or how much media attention SB winning teams/players get, people need to look beyond them when looking at individual players.

The manning bros are so goofy i wish they would keep the camera out of their face.  Even if peyton won no one would care because finding a colt fan is like finding a buffalo nickel.  There are huge superstar brothers who played against each other in the nfc champ a few years ago in t he barber brothers.

Each player in the wild-card playoff round earns $17,000 and another $19,000 for the divisional playoff round. Each player in the AFC championship game makes $37,000.\n\nThe winner of the Super Bowl then makes another $73,000, while the loser earns $38,000.\n\nWith the contracts today, this is probably less than just about everyone's per-game paycheck during the regular season.

No\n\nMichaels, Theismann, Kolber, Tafoya to crew MNF

if you had LT, then yes. still a very solid team, good job and good luck in playoff's (cuz you might struggle since all your players will be benched).

i believe us fellow steelers are most likely to win superbowl 41, for we actually gained some common sense in the begging of the 2nd half and thought " om my god, we are about to lose" after that thought, we won the superbowl and we have willie parker with the record of a 75 yard touchdown,big ben with a record for something about youngest player.. i don`t remember but we also hav troy polamolu, and hines ward, mvp of superbowl XL, alan faneca andjoey porter and other great players. not to mention a great offense and defence. so what to you think? we have a amazing history of football lengends like terry bradshaw, lynn swan, thatf fancisco dude or whatever, and the bus. we have a great coach and some football lengends in the making, like: troy, ben, joey p., willie, and hines. even more if you think of them personaly.
