Is Larry broke or something?

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

If memory serves correctly didn't he have an ill child or something along those lines?

Sad to see someone have to part with something that likely means a lot to them

I agree

The child died during that season (1995).

I hope he's doing ok.

I hate to see that, especially a ring, what guy or person would want someones Ring....You didn't win it... your just a collector... Feel bad for Larry if you needed to get the scratch for that...

 

[cajuncocoa]

He was the MVP....that's very sad.

Apparently, he sold the ring in 2003. This was listed by someone else.

Brown’s ring has actually been auctioned off once before — in the summer of 2003, when it went for $29,079. At the time, Brown sold off numerous items, among them his game-worn uniform and spikes, a replica of the Super Bowl XXX Lombardi Trophy (which went for $22,400), his MVP wristwatch ($1,938) and his MVP trophy ($26,435). Seven years later, he was spotted on eBay trying to sell his copy of the Super Bowl XL Opus MVP Edition for $24,999. Never did find out how that went.

Just memorabilia for someone...and I'm sure Brown is thankful that someone would pay that much.
It's been 20 years and he wasn't a long term highly paid player.

You'd think Jerry could help him out if he's in financial dire.

29,000 for the Super Bowl MVPs ring? Damn Larry, never take the first offer.

Job. Get one.

@erod assured me that only today's athletes go broke.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

I have a cocktail napkin autographed by Tom Landry after the Super Bowl 12 victory. Maybe I should sell it for 1-mil.

DB coach?

With some of the stupid contracts thrown around in today's sports, those guys played in the wrong era.

Yes, indeed and that is what the previous era thought of Larry's era as well. The originals were playing for hundreds of dollars, now guys are getting hundreds of thousands, if not millions per game. Crazy!

Seems to be a trend. William Perry is selling his too, but he has extremely bad health issues.

It is just insane to me how these players can get handed more money than most see in a lifetime and then they cannot manage it.
