Patriots' 283-Diamond Super Bowl Ring Is an Epic Troll
There's gotta be a hella lotta New England Patriots fans in Antwerp, Belgium.
The reason's simple.
That's the diamond capital of the world.
Combine this with the Pats ordering five sets of Super Bowl rings to date, and they've probably even got the Smurfs as big fans.
The feeling isn't exactly shared at a certain mansion in the ATL.
Seems like Atlanta Falcons' owner Arthur Blank just discovered why the latest Patriot Super Bowl ring has 283 diamonds.
As in 28-3.
How else would the Pats celebrate the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history?
Every sport needs villains, and these dudes can turn it up to 11 when they're so inclined.
Asked some Falcons players today if they were miffed about 283 diamonds on Pats rings. Said they didn't care, but could tell didn't like it

All you gotta do is beat 'em to shut 'em up. Easier said than done.
Hell, just getting back there to give it a shot is easier said than done.
New England rolled it out to the public when the two clubs met back in Week 7:

So, really, Blank shoulda known something more lasting was in the works.
Now, a few enterprising Eagles fans are taking a run at the Pats' tactics:

Here's a Super Bowl factoid:
Starting with their appearance in Super Bowl XXXVI, only once has a game involving the Patriots been decided by more than six points.
Guess which one:
Philadelphia's only gotta keep it close to make lotsa fans happy.
If they manage to win, though, maybe Blank will have a creative idea or two about what to get Kraft for Christmas.
Or whenever.
For kajillionaires, stuff like this rarely dies without some sorta payback.
