Oops! Wade Phillips Receives Super Bowl Ring With Wrong Name
DENVER (The Sports Xchange) - Wade Phillips waited nearly 40 years to see his name adorn a Super Bowl ring. The veteran defensive coordinator still is waiting, however, even after the members of the Denver Broncos received their jewelry on Sunday.
It's not that 68-year-old Phillips didn't get a diamond-encrusted ring ... it's just that it had the wrong name.
Phillips received his championship ring with the name "Peters" on the side. No worries as a Jostens representative apologized and the company is sending a new ring within a week, Phillips posted on his official Twitter site.
The Ring Ceremony was great. Receiving the Ring was awesome. Seeing that they had the wrong name on my Ring,not so good.

If you're wondering, Denver assistant director of college scouting Adam Peters received his ring with the proper name on it.
Phillips oversaw a dominating defense that handcuffed Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. The Broncos' defense finished atop the league in most major defensive categories.
No worries, Jostens will replace
