New York Giants Super Bowl Rings: Brandon Jacobs, Mario Manningham Skip Ceremony

Brandon Jacobs and Mario Manningham, who left the New York Giants to join the San Francisco 49ers as free agents following the 2011-2012 season, passed on attending Wednesday’s Super Bowl ring ceremony at Tiffany’s in Manhattan.

Jacobs was a member of two Super Bowl-winning teams with the Giants, but was not always a happy camper. Contract issues and playing time complaints were common, and it might not be a surprise that he passed on the ring ceremony after the Giants seemingly did not fight very hard to keep him following the season.

“I think winning a championship is important, not many people have one and not many people have had a chance to play in a Super Bowl,” said Jacobs, who was represented at the ceremony by his wife, Kim. “I respect that, but right now, I’m working towards the same goal with a new team.”

New York Giants Super Bowl Rings: Lawrence Taylor Auctioning Off Super Bowl XXV Ring

Nobody has ever won more than two Super Bowl rings with the New York Giants. Now, one of the stars who earned two rings with the Giants is selling one.

Lawrence Taylor is selling his Super Bowl XXV ring through SCP Auctions, according to the New York Post. Though the Post's Paul Schwartz speculates that Taylor must be badly in need of money to auction off such a prized possession, LT can take solace in two facts: He still has another Super Bowl ring, and his auction is set to pull in a nice chunk of money.

From the Post:

According to SCP Auctions, the ring has received 12 bids with the top bid, as of 10:20 a.m. on Thursday, at $37,982. The auction ends on Saturday. The estimated value of the ring is $75,000 - $100,000.

New York Giants Super Bowl Rings: Two? Giants Want More

The 2012 Super Bowl champion New York Giants received their Super Bowl rings Wednesday night during a ceremony at Tiffany's in Manhattan. That makes two titles for the Giants in the Tom Coughlin-Eli Manning era, and Giants players who have been their for both titles hope they aren't done yet.

"You get that first time and you're in awe, like, ‘Oh God, this might not ever happen again,'" defensive captain Justin Tuck said. "You win a second one and you're like, ‘Hey, maybe we can do something here.'
"Our thing now is we want to make it a dynasty."

Quarterback Eli Manning pointed out to reporters that no player in Giants history has captured three Super Bowl titles. "So we're setting the stakes high," Manning said.

The 2012 ring includes the Giants key phrases of 'Finish' and 'All In' inscribed on the inside.
