From a Bears fan to Patriot fans, I have grown up next door to Robert Ninkovich in a town south of Chicago. Today he came home with his ring and I was so fortunate to have gotten to take a few pictures.

This Bears fan turned into a Patriots fan over night after the New England defensive lineman shared his Super Bowl prized possession with him.
