Mr Cowboy;3429307 said:Probably Larry Brown, there was a long thread here a year or two ago about his ring being up for auction. When asked about it he said that he had given it to a charity for fund raising. I don't know how to do a search on here, but you could probably find it here somewhere.
Well, the size would be about right. He was also the MVP so it qualifies as a big name.bbgun;3429330 said:http://cowboyszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=168318
That was my old thread. Both rings are from SB XXX. Hmmm.
He solved his money dilemma buy selling his motorhome...TonyRomo09;3429367 said:im surprised noone has said it was jerry yet....

"Clayton has turned out to be a great disappointment," says Claudia McElveen, Holmes' mother. "There's no other way to say it."

Yesterday the link in the old thread to the auction would not open so I couldn't see it. Larry's ring is a size 12. This one is a 12.75, so you are probably correct. There are a couple of physical differences when you compare them side by side as well.Hook'em#11;3429531 said:If going by the pics in both this thread and the thread that BBgun started. That is not Larry Brown's ring. There are blemishes on each ring that are in different spots. That's not to say they aren't touched up or not.
Hmm. the mystery remains.

I had the best parents a kid could ever ask for. Always there for me, always supportive, always showing how much they loved me even when I was being a punk.
My older brother was terrific, .. always loved me, alway looked out for me and helped me, always included me.
All of this and I still had some trying times in my younger years.
Holmes' parents weren't together, nobody wanted him, his parents put him down and discouraged him. All the while his older brother was porking him in the night.
The fact that he is not in prison is a miracle and a tribute to the guy.
He has absolutely no foundation for his life to be built on, his life is built on shifting sand.
There, but for the grace of God, goes you or me.

This beautiful 1995 Dallas Cowboys "Super Bowl XXX" 14K Gold, with All Real Diamonds, Ring belonged to a *BIG NAME* Player.
I know what it says. I also know how salesmen puff the product. When will you grasp that?nyc;3429655 said:It says:
Not sure I would classify Holmes as a big time player. Of course, hyperbole is a selling tool.

aquavita;3430113 said:Outstanding, man. Very well put and well written. Most people lack the compassion and perspective to understand that life, for many people is rife with tragedy and failure.
We all like to cry 'bootstraps' and 'get a job' but people who say that inevitably have never led a life like Clayton's. The really sad part is, his story is much more common than anyone can realize. Many people have never, ever had a real chance at happiness, even in America, the "land of opportunity".

Crack Addicts are one of the most sorry/abusive, lieing, back stabbing sub-humanoids you'll ever witness in this life.
aquavita;3430124 said:Sure they are. But why did they START doing it in the first place? Do you think any of the one million terrible-*** things that happened to Clayton or the tons of other people have anything to do with it?
