The representative for New York Giants Hall-of-Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor said on Thursday following his clients sale of a 1991 Super Bowl ring that the buyer is none other than Charlie Sheen, according to FoxSports.com. According to Taylor’s representative, Mark Lepselter, Sheen had supposedly placed the winning bid of $230,000 for the ring.

But on Friday morning, Sheen tweeted that it was, in fact, not true.

The rumor wasn’t entirely far-fetched. Sheen spent $93,000 in 1992 for the ball that rolled through the legs of Red Sox first basemen Bill Buckner in game six of the 1986 World Series. Sheen sold it eight years later for $64,000 and the ball was sold again in May 2012, this time for $418,250.  Lepselter confirmed that it was Taylor’s son, T.J., who put the ring up for auction after he received it as a gift from his father.

As much as I would be honored to own such an important artifact…
I had nothing to do with the acquisition. c—

It was reported yesterday that Lawrence Taylor’s Super Bowl ring was placed up for auction. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported today that the ring was placed on auction by Taylor’s son, not Taylor.

LT wasn’t aware at all that his son had put it up for auction. However, he had no problem with it bc he feels they are now his sons property

Taylor reportedly had no idea that his son was selling the ring. He told Glazer, however, that he did not mind because he considered the ring his son’s property after he had personally given it to him.

Bidding for the 1991 Super Bowl ring currently stands at $89,568.

NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor is being sued by a teenage girl who he admitted to having sex with as part of a guilty plea in misdemeanor charges earlier this year, the Associated Press reports.

“I feel as though he should be accountable for his crimes and misconduct toward me,” Cristina Fierro said at a news conference today.

Taylor, who plead guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing an underage prostitute, was sentenced to six years’ probation. He was also forced to register as a low-risk sex offender following the trial.

Fierro was 16 in 2010 when the crime occurred.
