Giants Super Bowl rings stolen in daring heist
Posted on June 11th, 2008 – 10:51 AMBy Michael Rand
This is very suspicious: apparently a Massachusetts jewelry maker that was crafting the Giants’ Super Bowl rings — a scandal in itself — was robbed of the rings and other merchandise totaling $2 million over the weekend. From the AP:
Police say New York Giants Super Bowl rings were among the $2 million worth of items stolen from an Attleboro jewelry company sometime over the weekend.
Police say thieves disabled the alarm system at E.A. Dion’s building, cut a hole in the roof and made off with a safe that weighed at least 1,000 pounds and containing gold, gems and the rings.
The incident was discovered by an employee on Sunday when she was unable to access her work e-mail from home, apparently because phone lines had been cut.
Captain David Proia says police are investigating but there are no suspects.
Company President Edward Dion Jr. says the company is running as normal and customers know “we’ve run into a bit of a hiccup.”
RandBall sources have indicated there are no immediate suspects, though this man is expected to be questioned in connection with the robbery.

My money’s on Jeff Reardon.
I was expecting a link to P3’s picture…
Jeff Reardon? That’s harsh and downright mean. I’d opt for a tag team of Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey. Barber retires, Shockey gets hurt and can’t play, and the Giants win the Super Bowl. Hmmmmm . . .
Big Jimmy: Shockey will still get a ring, and Barber can always talk on the Today show about how he ultimately was responsible for the Giants winning the Super Bowl.
My money’s on Tommy from Quinzee
I knew Shockey was getting a ring - I still think he did it just for spite, to actually “earn” a ring. Maybe he stole his own ring.
We’re counting down to Matt Walsh revealing that he has SHOCKING VIDEO of the Patriots wearing Super Bowl rings…
Jon +1.26
Sid’s column the other day mentioned Kleinsasser was looking for his ring. Maybe he thought it was there?
Rick Reilly’s latest column on ESPN.com is a complete pile of crap. Maybe one of the worst written things I’ve ever seen out of the mainstream media. Totally contrived and beats one main-point beyond death (which is a feat in only 763 words). I don’t even know that P3 can beat something to death that efficiently.
I just needed to get that out, because I couldn’t handle the stupidity one moment longer…
Dave - that was a bad one for sure. But the word count thing - you didn’t count all those words, did you?
Either your browser has word count tool (mine doesn’t) or you cut and paste into a Word doc. and did a word count. Genius!
It’s moments of discovery like this that keep me coming back to Randball.
I was actually irritated enough by the column to cut and paste into Word and run the word count…
And rightfully so. Unfortunately Randball commenters now know the process in which to blast me on my verboseness.
