Alright, folks, gather ’round. Today, I’m gonna share a little story about somethin’ that’s been on my mind lately. It’s about this guy, Carson Wentz, and whether or not he really earned that Super Bowl ring. So, the whole thing started when I was just scrollin’ through my phone one day, looking at some old football news. It’s the off season after all.
I saw a headline about Carson Wentz and it got me thinkin’. This guy, he was a decent quarterback, right? But he got injured in 2017, right before the playoffs. And his team, the Philadelphia Eagles, they went on to win the Super Bowl without him playin’ in the big game. And I thought to myself, “Does that count? Does he really deserve a ring?”
So, I started diggin’. I went online, looked up a bunch of articles, and read what people were sayin’ about it. Some folks were sayin’, “Yeah, he was a big part of the team, he helped ’em get to the playoffs, so he deserves a ring.” Others were sayin’, “Nah, he didn’t play in the Super Bowl, so he shouldn’t get one.”
- I even found some stuff about how they give out rings to coaches, staff, and even folks in the front office.
- So, if they get rings, why not a player who was on the team for most of the season, even if he was injured?
I spent a good few hours goin’ down this rabbit hole, readin’ all sorts of opinions. And you know what? I still couldn’t make up my mind. It’s a tough one. On one hand, you got a guy who put in the work all season, helped his team win a bunch of games, and then got hurt. On the other hand, he didn’t play in the most important game of the year.
Then I started lookin’ at other players who were in similar situations. Like, there was this guy, Dan Marino, a real legend, who never won a Super Bowl. Then you got folks like Jimmy G and Brock Osweiler, who were backups and got rings. Does that seem fair? I don’t know.
And then, just when I thought I was gettin’ somewhere, I stumbled upon somethin’ else. Apparently, the Chiefs’ Super Bowl rings from last year, they had a typo on ’em! A $40,000 ring with a mistake. Can you believe that? It just goes to show, nothin’s ever simple, is it?
My Conclusion
So, after all this thinkin’ and readin’, I realized somethin’. It ain’t about whether Carson Wentz “deserves” a ring or not. It’s about what that ring represents. It’s a symbol of a team’s achievement, a reminder of a season’s worth of hard work and dedication. And whether Wentz played in the Super Bowl or not, he was a part of that team, a part of that journey.
So, yeah, I guess he does have a Super Bowl ring. And maybe, just maybe, that’s all that matters. It’s not about individual glory, it’s about being a part of somethin’ bigger than yourself. And that’s somethin’ we can all learn from, whether we’re football fans or not. That’s all I wanted to share with you guys. Hope you all have a nice day.
