Former Giants punter Steve Weatherford had his Super Bowl XLVI ring stolen earlier this week, but there is good news: The team has authorized Tiffany & Co. to make a replacement.
Weatherford posted on Facebook earlier this week that his precious Super Bowl ring from the 2011 season was taken during a string of car break-ins in his neighborhood.
"I gave my ring to my wife the night before after speaking at an event," Weatherford wrote, "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 also wrote that he hoped Giants co-owner John Mara would read his post and ask Tiffany & Co. "to dig up that glorious 2012 mold, make me a replacement Super Bowl ring to give to my son one day."
The ex-punter added that the ring was insured, but the jeweler could not produce another ring without the Giants' approval.
TMZ Sports reported Thursday that the Giants are OK'ing that request.
"Super Bowl Ring or not, I am Champion, not by my accomplishments, but by the choices I make and the God I serve," Weatherford also wrote.
Weatherford also had a forgiving message for the thief.
"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," he wrote.
"It wasn't my hand that won it, but I'd like your hand to wear it."
