Lawrence Taylor was told his Super Bowl ring was bought by Charlie Sheen (Shutdown Corner)

Lawrence Taylor's Super Bowl ring will hardly know it switched owners. According to Jay Glazer, the Hall of Fame linebacker was told that a fellow aficionado of all things illicit, Charlie Sheen, was the buyer of his Super Bowl XXV ring that recently sold for more than $230,000 at auction. It's not known whether Taylor's information is accurate but, man, we hope it is. Taylor's agent, Mark Lepster, confirmed to Glazer that LT was told Sheen bought the ring. They are still trying to confirm this poetic purchase. It's like Phil Spector buying O.J.'s Heisman. The actor has an extensive sports memorabilia collection that includes Babe Ruth's 1927 World Series ring and the contract that sold the baseball great from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees. He also owned the infamous Bill Buckner ball. Taylor's son, TJ, put the ring up for auction unbeknownst to his father . The troubled former star said he had no problem with the decision. [Y!
