Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick wears his wedding ring during games

Plenty of NFL players are happily married, but most take off their wedding rings for games.

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."
