Former NFL player Steve Weatherford is asking fans for their help.
The former New York Giants punter took to Facebook recently to announce to friends, family, and fans that his prized Super Bowl XLVI ring had been stolen. He took the ring off and gave it to his wife following a speaking engagement. The purse was left in the car and it was stolen.
“No, it’s not a joke,” Weatherford wrote on Facebook. “Recently, a string of car break-ins happened in my neighborhood — all in one night, eight cars were broken into.
“I gave my ring to my wife the night before after speaking at an event, she put it in her purse, and… Well, if anyone sees a Super Bowl XLVI ring on eBay with a name largely engraved on the side – WEATHERFORD (spelled like that) — kindly text me.”
Weatherford, who won the Super Bowl ring in 2011 as a member of the Giants, also sent a message to team co-owner John Mara that asked him for a 2nd version of the ring to be made for him, even if he had to pay for it.
“I’m hoping Mr. Mara reads this, and has the kindness in his heart to ask Tiffany & Co. to dig up that glorious 2012 mold, make me a replacement Super Bowl ring to give to my son one day.
“P.S. Mr. Mara, I’m insured, I got the loot I just need permission.
“Super Bowl ring or not, I am champion, not by my accomplishments but by the choices I make and the God I serve.
“P.S.S. Mr. Neighborhood Robber Man, I hope you tried that ring on, I hope it brings favor to your life the same way it has for other people the past 6.5 years I’ve had possession of it. It wasn’t my hand that won it, but I’d like your hand to wear it.”
