Quick Facts

Jewelers Tiffany & Co., based in New York, are responsible for making the Super Bowl trophy

I received an interesting (and funny) response from new tight end Christian Fauria when I asked him about the New England Patriots allegedly videotaping the New York Jets defensive coaches' signals during last Sunday’s game. Fauria, who played on two of New England’s Super Bowl teams, has been around for 13 seasons now and is a little bit of a jokester, so keep that in mind as you read on.

When first asked about it, he laughed and said, "All I know is there better not be an asterisk by any of the Super Bowls I was with them."

Then he joked he might need to call his wife to have her hide his Super Bowl rings in a safe just in case the league comes to confiscate them.

Then, when questioned further on the possible scandal, Fauria said seriously, "I was going back and forth on how I really feel about it. I'm all for doing everything that it takes to win. If somebody is going to leave their playbook out in plain view, I'm going to look. If I'm on offense and I can pick up the defensive calls, I'm going to tell the rest of the offense. As far as filming it, I never saw it when I was there…."

Then, he purposely looked at reporters, rolled his eyes and winked twice.

That drew a laugh, before he roared laughing and said, "No I didn’t! I really didn’t!"

Another roll of the eyes and a few more winks.

"I swear I didn’t! No really, I didn’t! Seriously, I didn’t!"

Another roll of the eyes and a few more winks.

By the end, you weren’t sure if Fauria was trying to tell you something or if he was just joking around. But he's certainly going to be an entertaining guy to talk to in the locker room.
