Does Fat Albert get a ring?

I'd rather have that guy who plowed over the light post in front of Gillette on live TV get one, than Hainesworth.
 
I had a question regarding superbowl rings.

I can't asked that because we might lose. :confused:
Alright, I was being a wise-*****. I think he will get one based on his PT even though he got released judging from what the organization has done in the past.

Didn't he refuse it?

Nope, although he was quoted as saying had it been offered he would have...

I believe the league pays for rings (or pays a predetermined amount to cover the cost of) for the players on the 53 man roster (and probably the coaching and FO staff). Who gets one beyond that is up to the team (to pay for) and/or the players. I believe the players voted on who on IR or otherwise inactive or on the PS got them in 2002 - possibly along with SB $$ shares. Katzenmoyer was offered one but declined. The team certainly would never have offered one to Glenn, he was trying to sue them over his signing bonus at the time - a suit he had to drop as part of his trade to GB. But he didn't have much support in the locker room, either. Many players believed he was faking injury to avoid playing in addition to not taking any responsibiity for his screw ups. A lot of guys in the NFL grow up under difficult circumstances and don't allow it to become an automatic excuse.

They cut Albert and if it ended there someone might have tried to make a case that he tried to help and was just not healthy. But then he went to work in TB and did the same damn thing so... No, if they win he will not get a ring.
 
After the first Super Bowl victory I think all Patriot employees got a ring (including people who hand out programs).

They didn't all get the same ring for openers and I doubt anyone on suspension or cut in week 5 as a program hander outer got one either
 
I don't know what the conventions or traditions are for this but Haynesworth did nothing here to earn that bauble. In fact some of his play allowed an easy TD to be scored against us as I recall and after that he caught hell from Pepper Johnson. Soon after that he was gone. I suspect he gets nothing.
 
Why would you reward a fired employee ?? :D

Because they contributed to the success of your season to one degree or another. I'm not saying this is my feeling specifically about Albert but I think there can be people who are no longer with a team who deserve one.

If Ross Ventrone isn't on our team anymore do you think he deserves one?
 
I think a better question is whether Ross Ventrone would get a ring for every different employment stint he had on the Patriots this year? If so, he would get 458 rings.
 
What about Rudy?

LOL. I was sitting here thinking, what was that other character's name? I think it was Russell, though, who was Bill Cosby's real younger brother.

Yes, Ventrone deserves one and I bet he'll get one. Albert Haynesworth certainly does not.
 
From my understanding it is up to the team. That being said, I'm almost 100 percent sure that he WILL NOT get a ring.
 
Ventrone will get a ring but only under the requirements that he gives it back to the Front Office every other week until he dies. :cool:
 
I don't think Ocho deserves a ring but he will certainly get one...or shall I say steal one for that matter considering he stole $6M from Kraft already.

I also think the McDaniels in no way shape or form should get a ring...but thats a tricky one.
 
Ask Mr. Kraft. That's his decision, along with Jonathan.
I'd rather ask Coach Johnson whom Fat Albert nearly attacked and reportedly verbally assaulted.

What do you think, Pepper?
 
If the Patriots win the superbowl, does Hanysworthless get a ring?

There is only ONE RING that Albert Haynesworth covets......
