Charlie Anderson was nervous as he placed about 20 sample Super Bowl rings on a conference table.

He was afraid he couldn't impress New England owner Bob Kraft anymore, after the Patriots won their third Super Bowl in four years.

"After three Super Bowls, Mr. Kraft was getting harder and harder to impress," said Anderson, who designs championship rings for Jostens. "They've won lots of rings."

One ring stood on its tip.

"That one rocked back and forth for, I'll bet you, 10 minutes straight on a conference table that wasn't being jiggled by anyone," Anderson said. "His two sons were in there. The first one noticed it after about three minutes, and he says, 'That thing really rocks.'
