Maurice Jones-Drew flashes his Rams Super Bowl ring after predicting 15-2 record
Maurice Jones-Drew flashes his Rams Super Bowl ring after predicting 15-2 record
Former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew is a big believer in the Los Angeles Rams in 2025.
The ex-Jaguars and Raiders player and current NFL Network analyst predicted the Rams would go 15-2 this season after the team's 2025 schedule was released. He did so with Matthew Stafford on the broadcast and while flashing his Rams' Super Bowl ring.
Yes, you read that right: Jones-Drew has a Super Bowl ring despite retiring from the NFL in 2014 and never playing a snap for the Rams in 2021. That's because he was given a ring for being on the team's broadcast booth during the 2021 season.
Fellow analyst Rich Eisen made sure to check Jones-Drew's use of the ring as soon as he flashed it.
"Isn't that funny, Matthew? You come on this show — you're not wearing your Super Bowl ring," Eisen said. "He wears it like he won it. And you're the one no-look side-arming to Cooper Kupp to win the darn thing."
"But I was there, Rich," Jones-Drew said. "I was there when they were practicing the no-look in OTAs."
This isn't the first time Jones-Drew's flashed the ring, either.
He's done so at least one other time on NFL Network.
While some might think it's a little absurd for a former player to show off a piece of Super Bowl jewelry despite not playing, coaching or being a part of the team's front office, the team gave him one — so who are we to judge what he does with it?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend Game 4 of Stanley Cup Final between Panthers and Oilers
Associated Press SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Pop superstar Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce were among the celebrities that flocked to Amerant Bank Arena on Thursday to watch Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. Kelce, a Super Bowl-winning tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is a known hockey fan along with his brother Jason Kelce. And ever since Swift and Kelce began their high-profile romance in 2023, the 14-time Grammy Award winning singer has been known to pop in on big sporting events — including the last two Super Bowls — and cause an excited frenzy for fans. There were rumblings ahead of Thursday's game that the couple might attend the final. A helicopter landed near Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, ahead of the game. The VIP entrance to the area was also closed off and the media elevator was not available to be used for a period of time before pregame warmups began. Swift recently announced that she regained control over her entire body of work. In a lengthy note posted to her official website, Swift said that all the music she's ever made now belongs to her after she has purchased her catalog of recordings — originally released through Big Machine Records — from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. Over the last few years, Swift has been rerecording and releasing her early albums in an attempt to regain control of her music. Other celebs in attendance included former Miami Dolphins star defensive end Jason Taylor, who banged the drum before the game. Miami Heat captain Bam Adebayo was joined by former Heat captain Udonis Haslem on the drum on Monday. The defending champion Panthers led the best-of-seven series 2-1 heading into Thursday's game. ___ AP NHL playoffs: and recommended

Massive crowds in Oakmont for U.S. Open serve as preview for year of large sporting events in Pa.
Massive crowds have arrived in Oakmont for the U.S. Open and they are only expected to grow as play continues. While all eyes are on the U.S. Open Championship, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is getting a test run for a huge year coming up. Advertisement Pennsylvania will be at the center of the sports world in 2026. The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off in Pittsburgh in April. The PGA Championship will be held just outside of Philadelphia. Some World Cup Games will also be held in Philadelphia, along with the MLB All-Star Game. Hosting just one of these events would be huge for the Commonwealth but all of them combined are expected to have a huge impact. 'It's projected that all of these sports events and tourism in general are going to generate 90 billion dollars in economic impact across the state, which is just massive,' said Deputy Secretary for Tourism for PA, Anne Ryan. 'When you can host an event like the NFL draft or FIFA World Cup, the site selectors who are responsible for identifying the next host cities say 'they have the infrastructure, the operations, the people - the fans.' The NFL Draft is expected to bring 600,000 people to Pittsburgh. Download the FREE WPXI News app for breaking news alerts. Follow Channel 11 News on Facebook and Twitter. | Watch WPXI NOW

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Sauce Gardner is trying to cook up an even better version of himself this season for the New York Jets . And the star cornerback's new defensive coordinator is pushing him to get there. 'It's so many things that I feel like Sauce can do,' Steve Wilks said during the Jets' three-day minicamp this week. 'Again, the word 'consistent.' He's been a Pro Bowl player. How consistent can he be to take it to another level? And that's one of the things that I challenged him Day 1 when we had our conversation.'
