Have you seen those commercials on Fox's NFL coverage, with the slogan "It's Good to Have a Ring," in which the members of the Fox NFL broadcast team who have won Super Bowl rings- Jimmy Johnson, Terry Bradshaw, Michael Strahan, Howie Long, Troy Aikman- get special treatment everywhere they go, while those who haven't- Joe Buck, Curt Menefee, Jay Glazer, Frank Caliendo- can only look on with insane jealousy. Here's an example:
There are two things very wrong with the campaign: One, it's a clear ripoff of a 10-year-old running joke on TNT's NBA studio show, in which Kenny Smith constantly mocks Charles Barkley for never having won a championship ring, while Smith has two. And two, the reason Buck, Glazer, Menefee, et. al haven't won a ring is because THEY NEVER PLAYED PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL. That, to me, is more of a dividing line between the two groups than the Super Bowl ring thing.
Plus, the reason the Smith/Barkley joshing works is because you get the sense Barkley really is upset that he never got a ring while Smith, a far inferior player, did. Smith, on the other hand, doesn't make fun of Ernie Johnson for not being an NBA champion, probably because he never thought to, since Johnson is a lifelong broadcaster who never played in the NBA.
If Buck is jealous of his co-workers it's probably because they actually got to play, rather than be handed plum gigs in multiple sports due entirely to nepotism the way he did.
