KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The perks of winning a Super Bowl Championship include parties, media interviews and and hard-earned accolades.
It also includes realizing the dream of finally getting to wear a championship ring.
The anticipation is not stopping head coach Andy Reid from dreaming what it will be like to wear one.
“You wear it for special occasions. Or if you want a free cheeseburger, you just point right there and show them the ring and you might get one," Reid said during a Tuesday video conference with reporters.

The Chiefs are expected to hand out the rings during a private event following Tuesday’s practice.
Reid said he’s seen the design on paper, but is excited to see the real deal.
"I've had a little bit of a sneak peek at a picture of one, so I kind of know what it looks like on a piece of paper. But I look forward to seeing it just like we're all looking forward to seeing it. I mean, there’s such hard work that's gone into it. Clark Hunt, Tavia Hunt, the Hunt family have gone above and beyond with this. And Mark Donovan organizing this whole thing for the players, in a crazy situation, is phenomenal. And his crew, they've done a great job. We're all looking forward to this event,” Reid said.
The head coach is no stranger to cheeseburgers. When the team won the AFC Championship in January to advance to the Super Bowl, Reid told reporters he planned to celebrate with a cheeseburger and going to bed.
