Which Packers’ Super Bowl Ring is For Sale?*
NFL February 5th. 2008, 12:48pm
[UPDATE: Emailer says, "If you look at the 'blacked out' picture of the ring, the seller did a terrible job of blacking out the X at the end of their last name. The only Packer with an X in their last name is Ron Cox."]
A reader who was listening to the Dan Patrick show recently passed along this note: a member of the 1996-1997 Super Bowl-winning Green Bay Packers is trying to sell his championship ring on eBay. The player’s name is being withheld (that’s where you come in!) for obvious reasons.
Here’s the roster – have at it. A couple names to eliminate: Brett Favre and Desmond Howard. Among the many enticing names on the roster worth endlessly speculating about – a certain defensive end who ran into problems with the FBI..

Mark Chmura – Can you say allimony?
February 5th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Definitely Chmura.

Reggie White’s family?

Somebody alert Danny Snyder that you can buy a Super Bowl ring!

1980 Royals ring on eBay as well.

Eugene Robinson has expensive habits.
February 5th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Could also be the family of the late Wayne Simmons.

412…thats some funny shit.

Maybe Andy Reid needs some more lawyer money ?
Or Ray Rhodes is out of work ?

Who would want a Royals ring?

Am I the only person who didn’t realize that Jim Fucking McMahon was on that team?

The urban legend around these parts is that Rison was so upset with the team not making an effort to re-sign him (Robert Brooks was coming back and they didn’t need him) that he threw his ring into a river somewhere

Chewy just built a house not far from me so I doubt it is him. He’s got a radio gig in WI that probably pays him way more than they should.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Andre Rison without a doubt.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
My first thought was Chmura
February 5th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
so its a ‘cox’ ring?
i’ll be here all night. try the veal.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I never clicked on the link to ebay till after the update. I have a laptop and all I did was tilt my screen and it is obvious that it says cox.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
I’m pretty sure Chmura is still married, so I really don’t think its him.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
spencer, +1, though the veal is awful.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Eugene Robinson, he has a track record.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
PKI I did the same thing and agree.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
I don’t see the X. Where should I be looking?
February 5th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
that X is from the roman numerals in the super bowl logo
debate?
February 5th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
on the bottom/right side? It says COX above the Helmet
February 5th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
The X is the last letter, whereas the Super Bowl ended in I.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
it looks liek a I at the end there Bobb dont you think, cmon think
February 5th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I’m not seeing either.
F it. Go cavs.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
I don’t know Irish, it seriously looks like an O above the helmet. Kind of spread out C O X. But I couldn’t tell you for sure. I mean I don’t even know if he was a starter. Are there any pics of the rings not blacked out that show how the ring was layed out?
February 5th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I agree with Nick and Irish*, I don’t see it either.
*I think I am going to be sick.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
i swear to god…i stared at that thing for an hour and still didnt see the fucking sailboat.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Spence Wins.
February 5th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
ET- i know that was meant for nick but thats okay
February 5th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Irish – It was meant for the combination of you two…
February 5th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
It’s Ron Cox.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:13 pm

February 5th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Without a doubt it is Cox..I think I found Waldo too.
February 5th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
This fool really can’t expect 50K right? This was a shame when I read it…old buddy only got $15K for his bling.

Dammit they did not accept my offer of $10!!!
February 5th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I’m with bobb; that says COX.
February 5th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Yes, I see where they tried to black out Cox and failed. Above the helmet on the side. Cox did start that game – but only b/c George Koonce hurt his knee a week or two earlier.

Gilbert Brown for sure.
