The crowning achievement of Joe Flacco\u2019s NFL career came at Super Bowl XLVII, when his Ravens won the championship and he was named Super Bowl Most Valuable Player. But while the accomplishment might matter to him, the ring and trophy that came with it does not.<\/p>\n
Flacco revealed on the Netflix Quarterback documentary series that his MVP trophy has been scuffed over the years because keeping it pristine wasn\u2019t a priority, as the trophy itself really never mattered to him. As for the ring, he said it means more to his children that they can put on their dad\u2019s ring than it means to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my Super Bowl MVP trophy,\u201d Flacco said, showing the cameras how worn down it is. \u201cIt\u2019s tarnished as heck. It\u2019s been in my dad\u2019s place, nobody\u2019s touched this in 12 years, 13 years. These are things you think you\u2019re going to care about a lot, and I guess the idea is, \u2018That\u2019d be cool, to have an office and put some things up.\u2019 And then you ultimately don\u2019t care about it. Like this ring. I think my kids like to look at it. I think that\u2019s ultimately what it\u2019s for.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ultimately, Flacco knows the Super Bowl itself means something to himself and his legacy, not the tangible objects that came along with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The crowning achievement of Joe Flacco\u2019s NFL career came at Super Bowl XLVII, when his Ravens won the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":763181,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-763180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=763180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/763181"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=763180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=763180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=763180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
