Charlie Sheen "MAYBE" high bidder on LT's SB ring

Charlie Sheen may have been the buyer of LT’s ring



Lawrence Taylor’s Super Bowl XXV ring sold for $230,401 last week, and it may have been purchased by someone whose fame (and drug-fueled personal escapades) exceed L.T.’s.

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that Taylor and his agent, Mark Lepselter, were told last night that the winning bidder for Taylor’s Super Bowl Ring was Charlie Sheen.

To be clear, Glazer isn’t reporting that Sheen was the buyer — and neither the auction house nor Sheen has said anything about it — but that’s what Taylor and Lepselter have been told.

If Sheen did buy the ring, it wouldn’t be out of character for him: Sheen is a sports nut who has spent a lot of money on memorabilia through the years. Sheen once told Dan Patrick that some of the big-ticket items he has purchased in the past include Babe Ruth’s 1927 World Series ring and the contract of Ruth’s sale from the Red Sox to the Yankees. Sheen also once purchased all the bleacher seats to an Angles game to try (unsuccessfully) to catch a Cecil Fielder home run ball.

Spending nearly a quarter of a million dollars on the ring sounds like something someone would do while under the influence of a drug called Charlie Sheen.

Why is LT selling his Super Bowl ring? Can't he just go with a lower grade of hooker?

I was under the impression LT's son was selling it.

Am I missing something in the article or did you read that elsewhere? I'm reading above that LT is selling it.

And if I was the son of a Hall of Famer, I darn sure wouldn't sell his ring. That's gauche.

I love it when some of these losers have to auction off their crap.

It's been reported last week that LT was as surprised that his ring was up for Auction as everyone else. He claims he gave the ring to his son and said it was his son's decision to do whatever he wanted with it.

Well the ring sold for 200K+

Saw it in a different article, but here's another link to an article.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...s-selling-ring

On Thursday, we told you the sad story of Lawrence Taylor's Super Bowl ring going up for auction. It turns out Taylor isn't the one selling the ring.

Rap Sheet: Tainted glory
Ian Rapoport explains why, in his opinion, the news that Lawrence Taylor's Super Bowl ring is up for sale sullies the status of the sport's holy grail. More ...
NFL Network contributor and Fox Sports Insider Jay Glazer spoke with Taylor, who was unaware the ring was for sale. Apparently, Taylor's son put the ring up for auction. The Hall of Famer doesn't have a problem with it because he gave the ring to his son and feels he can do whatever he wants with it.

The bidding for the ring, which ends on Saturday night, was $37,892 on Thursday morning. Just one day later, it has skyrocketed to $89,568. A six-figure final pricetag looks inevitable.

While the story is no longer as depressing as it once seemed, it still doesn't feel right that soon a rich sports collector will wind up with the ring.

Charlie Sheen says he didn’t buy LT’s ring

The mystery of Lawrence Taylor’s Super Bowl ring lives on.

Despite sharing a past filled with drugs and hookers, Charlie Sheen told Dan Patrick Friday that he was not the man who bought the ring LT received after the Giants beat the Bills in Super Bowl XXV. There was a report from Jay Glazer of FOX that Taylor and his agent were told that Sheen was the buyer of the ring, which sold at auction for $230,401, but the man responsible for the Torpedo of Truth tour said that there was no truth to it.

“As much as I would be honored to own such an important artifact, I had nothing to do with the acquisition,” Sheen said, via Patrick’s producer Paulie Pabst.

And so the search goes on. We now know that it wasn’t Osi Umenyiora, Brandon Jacobs or Sheen who bought the ring. Perhaps it was Ashton Kutcher?

It's possible that Charlie Sheen simply doesn't remember buying the ring. Perhaps he should check his pockets.

Or his bank account to see if there was a transfer of $230K and change?

Then again that could be for the 10Kg of Coke he bought last week???

Can anyone say they'll be surprised when Charlie finally passes away? I personally think that he is going to live till he's 90 something...He'll be this generation's George Burns.
