New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara (far left) and punter Steve Weatherford (near left) both have championship rings from Super Bowl XLVI. “I’ll be honest,” Amukamara says. “When I first got out on the field, I was starstruck—but once the game gets going, it’s like you’re a little kid again.”

New York Jets lineman D’Brickashaw Ferguson (left, with defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson) has a black belt in karate, a day job that involves pounding opponents into the ground—and a surprisingly honed fashion sense for a 310-pound offensive tackle. “I check out some shows during Fashion Week, and I follow what Bill Cunningham is doing and try to pay attention to what’s speaking to him,” he says. “I think it’s fun—it’s good to push the envelope.”

Having helped the Giants win Super Bowl XLVI, wide receiver Victor Cruz also knows both the pressure and the glory of the sporting world’s biggest event. “To play when the entire world is watching—that’s what I dreamed of when I was young,” he says. “Anyone who does that will have that moment with them for the rest of their life.”

A sports bar filled with ardent fans can be a thing of beauty—or an accident waiting to happen. (Clockwise from left) Actors Vincent Piazza (Team Jets) and Tracy Morgan (Team Giants) fight for their rights with Bobby Cannavale (Jets) and Jason Biggs (Giants) while Upton plays referee. “There’s a primal aspect to football that no other sport has,” Cannavale says.
