Mercury Morris won his Super Bowl ring because of his quick moves for the Miami Dolphins (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/67052) in 1972. But he wasn't fast enough on Friday when he realized he had left the ring in the men's room of the Biscayne Bay Marriott after washing his hands.
By the time he realized his mistake and went back, the ring was gone. "I'm holding out hope that somebody will give it up," Morris told The Miami Herald. "It means a great deal to me."

The 10-karat yellow gold ring has a full-carat diamond set in an aquamarine stone, with 16 smaller diamonds circling the center.

It's not the first time his Super Bowl ring has been stolen, Morris said. The original was lifted in 1978.

The hotel declined comment Sunday while a spokesperson was out for the weekend.

I wouldn't say it was stolen. He lost it but that is just semantics I guess.

I'm pretty sure the culprit is former Dolphins kicker, Ray Finkle (AKA Lois Einhorn)...

i think i just bought it on Ebay...

WHO IN THE WORLD ACTUALLY WEARS THOSE THINGS AROUND?!?!? Everyone I know that won anything like that (final four, nat champ) and got a ring only wore for a year or so and put it away in a bank vault lockbox after that.
I guess if you need a ring from over 20 years ago to pick up chicks....you gotta do what you gotta do...(but its still sad)

I wondered if I was the only one who has Ace Ventura permanently engraved on his mind everytime a Dolphin loses something. :p:

This time I have to take my hat off to Dallas Cowbotz players. The Cowbotz have won 5 Super bowls -- yet, I have Not heard of one Super Bowl ring Being stolen, or lost! While I'm sure the rings have been lost/stolen before ...but twice, and the same player!

Let's put this Mercury Morris situation into proper perspective. First, wouldn't you be cognizant of losing, misplacing, having your Super Bowl ring stolen if you've been burned before? Next, why take the ring off in a public facility; my hands couldn't get that dirty!

Now, let's try to wear the shoes of the individual who walked up on the prize. If they were a football fan, they would recognize the ring as a valuable entity; regardless of the diamonds and gold aspect. Even if they weren't a football fan, they would have a pricesless piece of jewlery worth thousands of dollars.

Alternatives ...

Return the ring for possible reward.

Keep the ring for yourself.

Even if Mercury Morris could claim the ring under his insurance (provided he had insurance), the worth of the ring is not even close to the value and sentimentality of the ring.

Bottom line, unless the ring is returned, he loses twice! Can you believe what piece of work this guy is?!

Do any of you Cowbotz fans have any idea of approximately how much that ring is worth? Just curious.

(deep breath)
"Soccer style kicker graduated from Cauler high June 1976, Stetson University honors graduate class of 1980, holds 2 NCAA division 1 records one for most points in a season, one for distance, former nickname "The Mule," The first and only pro athlete to come out of Cauler County and one hell of a model American."

The part in Ace Ventura 2 where he finds out what the old guy is up to and spouts off the plan and then does it in reverse is comedy gold.

The second movie had some great quotes in it...


"And you must be... the Monopoly guy!"

"This is a lovely room of death!"

"Youuuuuuu didn't say anything about a bat!"

"Let's do everything youuuuuu wanna do!"


Great movie.
