As you're probably well aware of, we occasionally make mistakes here on the blog. When you're typing fast, trying to crank out posts quickly, and getting whipped repeatedly to meet deadlines, the occasional typo will occur. You'll write "your" instead of "you're" or you'll just forget a word here and there.

That's acceptable to a degree in this line of work. But do you know what kind of job where mistakes like this aren't acceptable? Super Bowl ring maker.

Yes, believe it or not, the first Pittsburgh Steelers team to win a Super Bowl wound up getting rings that all had the wrong score of their first round playoff game against the Buffalo Bills. Most Super Bowl rings commemorate a team's trip through the playoffs, but most do so accurately.

The score listed on the ring says Steelers 32, Buffalo 6. The actual score was Steelers 32, Buffalo 14.

Man, poor Buffalo even gets the short end of the stick on a commemorative ring.

Weirdly, the original paper design was in fact correct, but the actual ring molds were wrong. And even more strange, an estimated 70 plus of these rings went out to players and personnel, along with the fact that they showed these things off to people for years and years, and no one noticed.

I don't know about you, but I were a franchise getting my first Super Bowl ring ever, I'd make damn sure everything on it was perfect. But then again, people were on a lot of drugs in the '70s, so maybe that's why no one noticed it.

The only reason it was discovered was because a Steelers front-office employee, whose estate is undergoing a bankruptcy sale, put them up for sale on eBay, and someone finally noticed the error. All it took was 34 years.

Retired Steelers running back Rocky Bleier, who scored the first touchdown in the Bills game, had this to say about it.

I'd bet most of the guys wouldn't remember the scores anyway.

Hmmm, now might be a good time for the NFL to update its concussion policy.
