Maybe it's fitting: Packers get the rings
ARLINGTON, Texas - Looking to motivate his team in advance of Super Bowl XLV, Packers coach Mike McCarthy actually had the players fitted for Super Bowl rings before the game was ever played.
The fitting took place Saturday night. "We wanted to come into the game focused," guard Daryn Colledge said. "We knew we had a chance to win this and came in with that mind-set, and that's the way we played: Downhill."
Colledge said the move had its intended effect.
"It's a pretty quiet process. It's a ring fitting like you probably did for your own wedding ring,'' he said. "I think it just sets that mental mind-set that you've got to go out there and you've got something to accomplish."
