Not Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Jets' quarterback has worn his ring every day -- even game day -- since marrying Liza Barber on June 24, 2006.
"It's a personal thing, but I don't feel the need to have to take it off," said Fitzpatrick, who faces the Patriots on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. "I feel like when I took my vows that it symbolized something."
