There are plenty of uplifting but sad stories come Super Bowl week (think the Sam Mills/Mark Fields bit), but Michael Silver found a gem with the James Parrish story that I find interesting because I've actually met Parrish before. While interning at the Chicago Tribune, he came around the office a couple of times, flashing his really huge Super Bowl ring. No one was really sure why he was there or who even brought him around, but he was a nice enough guy and very personable.
