LT’s SON sold the ring, NOT HIM!!! He’s not getting a dime of the money and, furthermore, I’d be willing to bet he is not too pleased HIS SON is selling his ring. Also, I think you Ginas fans need to realize you owe last season to Mark Sanchez. If that loser doesn’t have 3 turnovers in the red zone in week 16, you don’t even make the playoffs!! Come back to reality idiots, luck was in your favor. It was hardly a dominant season as you all like to believe.

The winning bidder was Andy Reid.

So second guess Andy Reid only way he will ever get a ring is if he buys it

Another option is Little Philly Rivers
Must be hell sitting in SD knowing Drew has one and Eli two.

The fact that some pro athletes wanted twitter followers in exchange for buying it for him,shameful. Just do it guys,seriously why didnt you just buy it outright for the guy?

Uhhh….Considering there has only been 3 Superbowls in this decade, your question is quite dumb.

LT was not selling his ring he gave his son the ring and his kid is sold it.

As for the Giants speaking as a lifetime fan
If they do not make the playoffs I can always watch a DVD or Video tape of one of the 4 Super Bowls they did win.

How many teams have won a Super Bowl in each of the last 4 decades?

I can another 10 years though I doubt I will have to wait that long.

Eli will get at least one more ring as he walks into Canton

It is written idiot. And you can bet you will see these posts repeated in your name on every PFT story, every day when the Giants are 8-8 in 2012 and talking about firing Coughlin… again.
============================

Joshie, just make sure you spell my name right when you repost everyday as the Giants walk all over your second rate team. The Giants are a DYNASTY that will live on forever in the hearts of all football fans the world over. Coughlin is the greatest and will be here leading the team to the next 10 Super Bowls. Bank on it Joshie. Remember, there is still room on the bandwagon for you, I’ll save you a good seat.

Despite his problems off the field since his Hall of Fame career ended, the man deserved some love.

He is a legend in the game and is responsible for the great run they had in the late 80′s – early 90′s.

$230K is chump change to the Mara’s. Somebody should have stepped up and made it happen. The Mara’s, the fans, and the city of NY OWE LT.

Help pick the man up when he is down, don’t kick him again.

I hope it can be put to good use, and maybe it will still somehow end up back in the hands of L.T. We will soon find out if there is an upright citizen who bought it, and has more than enough money to have to keep it.

“The next 10 Super Bowls belong to us, write it down.”

Glad to see imagination still runs wild in people. What does belong to you is the @ss of the month award. I will write that one down for you.

Your Giants are the defending champs. Come January, they will then be watching the playoffs from their respective couches. They simply won’t be hungrier than other teams, and will do the same as they did after their SB victory in February of 2008 – either be one and done in the playoffs, or miss them altogether.

And you can write THAT down……..

Why, if it’s so important to him, does he need Twitter followers at all. If he was truly virtuous in his heart about giving LT his ring back he wouldn’t give a rat’s arss about Twitter followers. This a nothing more than a very transparent move to get his name in headlines. To this wretched, self aggrandizing, egomaniac, it’s really just a publicity stunt designed to build his own celebrity by pretending to care about LT and in the end Osi’s “cause” here is really…. himself.

(1) Very thankful LT got nearly a quarter of a mil, and hope he can get it turned around. Going down this path gives me cause for concern though.

(2) Sad it had come to this, where an NFL LEGEND had to resort to something so humiliating

(3) The value in something like a ceremonial ring, is largely tied to symbolic value. Wedding rings, engagement rings, and especially Super Bowl rings come to mind for all of us. So to the purchaser of that ring – thank you for the generosity, but man, that is a big chunk of change for a conversation piece that symbolizes despair, sadness and desperation, as much as it does anything else.

Steeler Nation is pulling for LT — hope that legend can right the ship.

Its a hunk of metal and rocks you find in the dirt. In life, it has no value, only perceives value. And then to find out lt can replace it for $4k? If i was his son, id ask for that ring too AND id auction it again…
