Steelers get fitted for Super Bowl XL rings
From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Steelers wide receiver Sean Morey was having some trouble making an important decision, so he decided to rely on the advice of a trained professional.
That would be the guy who was fitting Morey for his Super Bowl ring.
"I was going back and forth between 12-and-a-half or 13, 12-and-a-half or 13," Morey said. "Finally, the guy said that 12-and-a-half was probably going to be a little tight, and that I had to account for the fact that the rings would be very heavy."
Morey and his teammates were fitted Tuesday at the Steelers' South Side practice facility for the rings they'll receive prior to opening the 2006 season Sept. 7 at Heinz Field against Miami.
Morey doesn't yet know what the rings will look like, "but that doesn't really matter," he added. "That's a formality.
"It's going to be great to actually put it on my finger and show my pop, show my family."
Morey's only concern is "one of the few errors ever made by the Rooneys, allowing Jerome (Bettis) to help design the ring."
Offensive tackle Max Starks will be wearing his size 18-and-a-half bauble on the middle finger of his right hand. His left hand is out because he's married, and the ring finger on his right hand is unavailable because it's been broken.
Starks doesn't have a problem with potentially having to extend the middle finger of his right hand in the event someone asks to see his Super Bowl ring.
"That'll be for all the people who doubted us," Starks said.

Yes! OMG I love it. I really can't wait to see what the ring is going to look like. We still have a lot of waiting to do.
So yesterday was the first day I haven't posted on my blog since its conception. I always take weekends off, but yesterday I just completely forgot. And it's not because this blog isn't the most important thing in my life, because it basically is. But as of today, I am now E-Commerce Manager at my work. My boss moved on to bigger and better, and I was promoted. I am completely excited and honored, but until I can find a replacement for my old job, I'm going to be doing BOTH. eeek!
