  • Addicted to Pawn
    BY SHAUN ASSAEL ADDICTED TO PAWN PHOTOGRAPHS BY WILLIAM MEBANE WHEN ATHLETES CAN’T KEEP UP WITH THEIR LUXE LIFESTYLE, THEY KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR A LOAN. Championship rings are king at pawnshops, where they’re exchanged for cold cash. 72 ALL ABOUT THE MONEY BROCK WILLIAMS ISN’T happy to hear from me. I’ve tracked down the obscure former Patriots cornerback to ask about the Super Bowl XXXVI ring he pawned a decade ago for $2,600. “Ah, man, that was a bad time,” he says over the phone, let- ting the space between his words linger. “I’m just trying to put that all behind me.” Unfortunately for Williams, that’s hard to do when America sees your ring every week in the opening montage of the hit TV show Pawn Stars, harder still when celebrity pawnbroker Rick Harrison brags about being the guy who has it. Gold, cars, Rolexes … yawn. But a Super Bowl ring? “You want the thing a guy worked his whole life to get,” says Harrison. His Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas is a window onto our times, with Harrison the appraiser of our excess. Desperate people populate his tales, many of them jocks. There was the time in 1999, for instance, when IBF super featherweight champ Diego Corrales, who was reckless in the ring and with his money, traded in his title belt. “I think I gave him $1,500 and sold it five months later for $3,000,” Harrison says. In another sad case, long jumper Joe Greene ventured into Harrison’s store in 2003 with the bronze medal he’d won at the Atlanta Olympics Fittingly, Budd set up shop in seven years earlier.

  • 2021 Naval Academy Introduction Letter
    To: The United States Naval Academy Class of 2021 Welcome back to Annapolis. Congratulations on entering your second class year. With that undoubtedly comes more responsibility and increased positions of leadership. One additional event that will happen during your second class year is that you will select and receive your 2021 Naval Academy class ring. I wanted to take a few moments at this time to share important information that you and your family might find helpful First, I would like to introduce myself, my staff, and Jostens, the company that will produce your rings. In two follow up letters I will share important information about the products and services that will be available to you such as Jostens Lifetime Warranty and Ring Loss Protection. I will also begin outlining the events that will take place later this year such as the Gemstone Show and Ring Order Week. Let me start with the introductions. My name is Mike Sundgaard and I am the Jostens representative to the United States Naval Academy. With 22 years of experience in the class ring business my sole responsibility is to work with the class ring programs at seven of our nation’s most prestigious schools - Navy, Air Force, West Point, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, VMI, and Norwich University. Just as important as the experience I have with the class ring business is my background with Academy rings prior to joining Jostens. As a 1985 graduate of USMA I understand what the ring means to each of you as I have worn mine proudly for over 35 years.

In a Twitter conversation, Scaramucci wrote, “Bob Kraff just gave the president the ring for last years game . the [Vladimir] Putin ring is long gone,” which many took to mean that Kraft gave Trump his personal ring from the Patriots’ victory this past February in Super Bowl LI. That was not quite accurate. Per Patriots spokesman Stacey James, the Patriots did, in fact, give Trump a championship ring, but they had one specially made for him, engraved with Trump’s name.

He earned a Super Bowl XXXVI ring in 2001 and should have been on top of the world, but while he was battling other teams on the field, he was battling his own demons inside. His addiction to drugs and alcohol took over his life and largely led him to retire from the NFL in 2002. Today, Chris shares his unforgettable story about the dangers of alcohol and drugs with young people across the country. After a night of binge drinking and poor choices at a series of underage drinking parties, Kathi Sullivan's 17 yr old daughter Taylor found herself alone in the woods and drowned in only two feet of water. They found her 3 days later. Two months later Kathi started sharing Taylor’s story with students and parents in hopes that her message would enlighten others on the dangers of underage drinking and poor choices.

  • NFL Draft Winners and Losers: Broncos GM John Elway Collected Some Serious Talent by Frank Schwab Yahoo! Sports April 27, 2018
    NFL draft Winners and Losers: Broncos GM John Elway collected some serious talent By Frank Schwab Yahoo! Sports April 27, 2018 Early in John Elway’s time as Denver Broncos general manager, he hit some home runs in the draft. That hasn’t been the case lately, especially when it comes to offensive players. As a result, the Broncos haven’t made the playoffs the past two seasons. Say this about Elway’s 2018 draft class: It’s not short on star power. The Broncos started the draft with three players who made names for themselves in college. In the first round, pass rusher Bradley Chubb fell to the Broncos and it became an easy pick. In the second round, Denver took SMU receiver Courtland Sutton, a big and athletic playmaker who might be a bit raw, but could be a No. 1 receiver at a discount draft price if he develops. And then the Broncos, who needed a running back after cutting C.J. Anderson, landed Oregon’s Royce Freeman in the third round. Freeman is big, fast, had a great college career as the Ducks’ all-time leading rusher. Their final third-round pick of the night, Boston College cornerback Isaac Yiadom, isn’t an instant star but he fills a need. Nothing says any of those top three picks are going to work out. Shane Ray was a great pass-rushing prospect when the Broncos took him in the first round, and now he’s practically done in Denver. Montee Ball had a monster college career and was Denver’s second-round pick in 2013, and he flamed out fast.
