Brian Waters Is Denied A Super Bowl Ring

by Joel Thorman on Feb 6, 2012 7:01 AM CST

Former Kansas City Chiefs guard Brian Waters won the first two playoff games of his career this season in New England but he was denied a Super Bowl ring when the New York Giants defeated the Patriots, 21-17, in Super Bowl XLVI.

I was rooting for the Patriots but only because I wanted to see Waters get a ring. He was a big part of the Chiefs and Kansas City for a decade and I think you wanna see guys like him (and Tony G) reach the top of their profession. For that reason, I'm a little disappointed in the result.

And we weren't the only ones. Before the game, Chiefs CB Brandon Carr tweeted: "I want to see B.Waters win a ring tonight! That's all that matters in my football world right now."

Waters is turning 35 years old on February 18. Retirement has to be on his mind, despite signing a two-year deal in New England. He told reporters at the Super Bowl that he'll take 2-3 weeks to decide his future.

I'd be surprised if he didn't come back. He had a really good season for the Patriots showing he still has it. He knows New England will have as good of a chance as any team to win it all next year. The money probably doesn't hurt either.

I was rooting for B. Waters to

win a Super Bowl ring. Sadly, it was not to be this year. Maybe next year.

Next year?

Is he coming back to the Chiefs?

You think it's coincidence that I bleed red?

Say what you will, but I was NOT rooting for him

The guy spends his entire career here, and then like Tony, doesn’t believe in the team or franchise enough to stay to finish his playing days with one team and shoot for the championship with them?

Sorry, from where I come, that’s something we call, “treachery”. He sold out for his own gain. I’m glad the Giants one. With what they went through this year, how they stuck together and fought back, and did it with character, makes them the more deserving team.

You're making a lot of assumptions.

1.) That he didn’t want to be a Chief anymore.
2.) That Scott Pioli was not going for a youth movement at OG.

I agree with you.

I’m happy guys like Waters and Gonzalez have not a hopefully will not win a Superbowl without the Chiefs. Ugghh, especially with a team like the Patriots.

I wanted to see waters get his he stuck with us through thick and thin.

On the other hand i hope Tony never gets to see anything close to a superbowl.. He did us dirty and i remember perfectly he is the one who wanted out of kc cause we didnt have a legit shot, well tony getting blown out of the playoffs the last 2 years really gotch you farther didnt it.. Your career will end on a low note and never even sniff the superbowl.. maybe you should of stuck around you sure aint got much farther.
