Bruschi: Lord of the Rings

BY JIM DONALDSON

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Tedy Bruschi has three Super Bowl Championship rings, plus an AFC championship ring from his rookie year in 1996, when the Patriots lost to the Packers in Super Bowl XXXI. He says he wears them a lot more in the offseason than he does during the season.

''That's when I make more personal appearances,'' he said. ''When I go to things like that, people always ask me: 'Where's the ring?'

''I like to show them. Sometimes, I'll let a little kid hold it.

''But,'' Bruschi added with a smile, ''I don't let them go very far away with it.''
