Trophy Another New Jersey 'Super' Export

Just like the Giants, the Vince Lombardi Trophy is a product of the Garden State.

When you're watching the Super Bowl on Sunday night, the team that calls the Meadowlands home won't be the only New Jersey export on display. What is it? Here's a hint: It takes numerous skilled craftspeople and about four months to complete, and millions of people will have their eyes glued to it on Sunday. And it's made nearby—right here in New Jersey in Parsippany. The Vince Lombardi Trophy that will be passed around by either the New York (we know it's really New Jersey) Giants or New England Patriots after winning the game's most important contest was produced in Morris County, crafted in the Tiffany & Co. workshop. So, while you feel Jersey pride watching Big Blue's tough defense and Eli Manning-led offense, you will know that they …

Hey Michael...I guess you aren't a Giants fan. First, what's wrong with the being named the Giants? Is the Jets nickname any better? How about the Eagles? All I care about is what happens on the field. For your info, the Giants have won three Super Bowls, the Jets one and the Eagles zippo. Second, as Greg pointed you got the venue of the game wrong. I don't think Big Blue is lame...Go Giants!!!   more ›

Apple of NFL's Eye Was Created Nearby

Vince Lombardi Trophy, the desire of every Steeler and Packer, is created in N.J.

It takes numerous skilled craftspeople and about four months to complete, and millions of people will have their eyes glued to it on Sunday. And it's made nearby—right here in New Jersey. The Vince Lombardi Trophy that will be passed around by either the Pittsburgh Steelers or Green Bay after winning the Super Bowl on Sunday was produced in Morris County, crafted in the Tiffany & Co. workshop in Parsippany. Most people know the trophy was named after legendary Packers head coach Vince Lombardi, regarded by many as the greatest football coach of all time. However, the trophy didn't get that name until 1970, three years after it was created and handed out. The trophy was originally designed by Tiffany for the first Super Bowl in 1967, and …

Former Super Bowl Champ Now Plays for His Religion

Alan Veingrad explains transformation from an NFL player to devoting his life to Judaism.

For seven years, Alan Veingrad made his living by pushing around some of the most physically intimidating defensive lineman in the National Football League. At age 47, Veingrad, who now goes by his Jewish name Shlomo, meaning "God’s Peace," no longer studies the tendencies of his opponents across the line of scrimmage each week, but rather, he studies the religion of Judaism with the same intensity and vigor that made him a Super Bowl champion. Veingrad explained his transformation to an audience of about 70 people at the Knoll Country Club East in Parsippany last Sunday. Rather than donning a helmet and shoulder pads while playing in front of 75,000 people, Veingrad now sports a long gray beard and yarmulke, working as a transformational …
