Lawrence Taylor gave the Super Bowl ring he won with the Giants to his son, who then placed it on eBay, which drew a lot of attention this week. The ring was sold for a reported $230,000 but that's not the real story here.
↵The real story is that actor Charlie Sheen was the buyer, according to what LT's agent has been told. Via Jay Glazer:
↵↵↵Got no idea if this is true but if is it's hilarious. Lawrence Taylor & his agent Mark Lepselter were told last night winning bidder for LT's Super Bowl Ring was none other than Charlie Sheen!!!

Of course Charlie Sheen bought LT's Super Bowl ring.
↵I'm looking forward to the jokes that will come out of this in the comments section.
↵UPDATE: Some things just have a way of being too good to be true. Turns out the fallen movie star did not buy the fallen football star's Super Bowl ring. Sheen denied the rumors with a Friday morning tweet:
↵↵↵RE: Lawrence Taylor's Ring:As much as I would be honored to own such an important artifact...I had nothing to do with the acquisition. c
