http://msn.foxsports.com/rumors/nfl#2 Patriots fitted for losers rings Word from Foxboro is that the New England Patriots were fitted for their rings last week. No, that would not be Super Bowl XLII rings. Eli Manning & Co. are sporting those. The Pats will be getting the smaller, less bling-encrusted AFC Championship rings in honor of their nearly undefeated season. "Winning the AFC championship is still an honor that is recognized by a championship ring," said team spokesguy Stacey James. ... James said it's unclear whether the team will throw a ring ceremony, as in past years when Tom Brady & Co. won the Super Bowl. "I don't know what the plan is," he said. -- Boston Herald
