I found this on another blog i follow and had to share ...
ESPN's NFC North blogger Kevin Seifert reports that the Packers had an unusual event the night before Super Bowl XLV:
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Green Bay Packers players reported to their team meeting Saturday evening prepared for some final words before turning in for their last night preceding Super Bowl XLV. They got a speech from Dr. Kevin Elko, a motivational guru, and then a surprise.
Coach Mike McCarthy had each player and coach fitted for a Super Bowl championship ring, a highly unusual move in a sport full of superstition and "one day at a time" mentality. It was the culmination of a late-season dose of bravado that McCarthy brought to the Packers.
