Time heals all wounds, but the New England Patriots aren't done throwing salt. On Saturday, ESPN's Darren Rovell posted a photo of the Patriots' Super Bowl ring, which includes 283 diamonds, a not-so-subtle reference to the team's historic comeback after being down 28-3 to the Atlanta Falcons.

As the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors squared off in Game 4 of the 2017 NBA Finals on Friday, the Patriots held their ring ceremony, which was catered by Popeyes. 

Tom Brady had fun at the Patriots' ring ceremony last night.

He also knows the words to "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang"

The ceremony also featured performances by Snoop Dogg and Gucci Mane. Check out Tom Brady rapping along to "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang." 

As Snoop took the stage, the self-proclaimed Steelers fan wore a Patriots hat and their championship ring.  

The Patriots still have three months to soak in this championship victory, and they're clearly enjoying every minute of it.
