First, the good news: Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, along with the rest of the coaches, players and staff, received his Super Bowl 50 championship ring during a ceremony Sunday evening.

Pretty impressive, right? According to the team, that bad boy has "212 round, tapered and marquise shaped diamonds all meticulously set in a 10 karat white-and-yellow gold ring," and all told, "this collection of stones comes together to create a stunning ring that tops more than 5.05 carats."
Now, the bad news, via a Phillips' tweet sent some 12.5 hours later:
The Ring Ceremony was great. Receiving the Ring was awesome. Seeing that they had the wrong name on my Ring,not so good.

No word on the error, though Twitter folks had some ideas:
@sonofbum misspelling coach?

@sonofbum If they put "Del Rio" on it, i'm storming the gates. Sorry it happened, coach.

@sonofbum How can they misspell "Wade" or "Phillips" or "Son Of Bum?"

There were also sympathizers...

But there's also a happy ending:
No worries, Jostens will replace

Despite the mistake, Phillips paraphrasing Drake still holds up nicely: "It's a really big ring. It's a really big thing. We've got a really big team."
