Will he be the only athelete to ever win the Super Bowl, BCS, and CWS?

If not, it can't be too many others.

He is on the roster. Considering what hell the guy has been through, damn near losing his leg, the hell of PT to get back to even walk, let alone run, and still be on a pro football team's roster....

I think he's deserving of a ring.

Jones and his college teammate Jared Mitchell are the only two college athletes ever to claim a BCS national title and a baseball national title.

He is injured and part of the team. It's not like he played for them and got traded before the super bowl.

What he went thru has nothing to do with deserving a ring.

How do you figure?

Rehabbing a non football related injury doesn't equate "deserving" a super bowl ring. Being drafted by and maintaining a roster spot with the Giants, however, does. In my opinion.

I mean, he didn't really earn one. He'll probably be given one but no one should be mad if the club decided not to give him one.

Doing this, results in

that.

They did drop him from their roster all together for a time.

I'm not saying that because of what he went through, let's give him a ring. I was saying he busted his arse to get back to where he could play, not professionally (yet) but the Giants picked him back up.

I didn't mean it to sound like, let's just give it to him. He's on the roster, he gets a ring.

I assume you're saying this because he didn't play?

So everyone on the roster that didn't play shouldn't get one either?

He's on the roster. What don't you get?

Michael Clayton is on IR and didn't practice or dress out. Same thing?

I buy that logic. Makes sense.

I didn't say they wouldn't get one. Its just not really "earned"... of course the owner will give one but if I were the individual player I wouldn't be upset with not getting one. The guy who spray paints the endzones is probably more deserving. I know... its a cardinal sin to say anything about the guy who pitched the best 6.2 innings in college baseball history.
