Former Patriot pawned Super Bowl ring for $2,000 - Projo Pats Blog

Well, unlike Leonard Myers, former Pats CB Brock Williams only pawned his, but never came back to get it.

 

[Leave No Doubt]

Oman, sounds like he hit on hard times The injury he sustained back in 01 apparently sidelined him for the season and he was collecting NFL disability for it.

To save anyone else the Herald click:

Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and so it was for former New England Patriot Brock Williams’ priceless 2002 Super Bowl ring, which the now disabled cornerback swapped to a pawn shop for $2,000 in chump change.

“He was offered $15,000 to sell it, but he said no. He just borrowed some money and never came back,” said Rick Harrison, owner of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop on the Las Vegas Strip.

That was three years ago. But a heartbroken Marie Williams, who to this day doesn’t know what her 29-year-old son was thinking, told the Herald, “It would be a miracle if we could get this ring back. It would be a godsend.”

It also seems the pawn shop owner has NO intention of selling it either. Sad situation

Well, unlike Leonard Myers, former Pats CB Brock Williams only pawned his, but never came back to get it.

And unlike Je’Rod Cherry who auctioned his to benefit a whole handful of decent charities.

Sad.

Wow, 2000 bucks really IS chump change. I wonder what the rings were worth at the time they were made for the team.

At that price, imagine how many Pats fans would want to own SB ring #1.

He might have had $25,000 or more if he put it on eBay,Thats downright stupid what he did

The store owner sold it a couple weeks ago. What an ass, saying "it's not for sale."
Here is the auction:

WOW, he got $100,100.00 for it, although the bids look very fishy, it was going along up to about 60,000grand and then all of a sudden a bid came for 100,000 and then 100,100. Let's see if the guy really comes up with the cash on this one.

WOW!

100Gs - Thats still about $90,000 profit after taxes and eBay/Paypal fees

Did you expect anything less from a lowlife Pawn Shop owner who preys on people who are in unfortunate situations?

Do you rather he deal with Tony Soprano? You may not like pawn shops but they serve a purpose and they are legal.

 

[Leave No Doubt]

I wonder who bought it? Wouldn't it be awesome if it was Kraft or someone associated with the Pats? That'd be such a nice story

In my early days, I fed my family by pawning my watch and wedding band just about every two weeks. Then again, I'm still wearing both.

100 large for a super bowl ring belonging to the immortal Brock Williams; imagine what the ring owned by MR TFB from the same game would fetch.

Incredible.

And 110.00 for shipping.

Gee, what a swell guy Mr pawnshop owner turned out to be, had an offer to sell it but said no, it's not for sale, then he peddles it on Ebay to the highest bidder.

 

[Seymour93]

If Brock Williams gets a ring (I remember him well), do the stadium custodians get SB rings too?

Yes, But it's made of Tin Foil and has a funny smell to them.

Well,The Pawn Shop and the owner are from Las Vegas,Nevada

You know what they call Vegas don't you? ... Sin City

Perfect description of the pawn owner and his sleazy business

How do you know his business is sleazy?

How do you know its not?

I have been to Vegas 10x and believe me,Those pawn shops are not the type of place you want to visit out there - Most of them are in the scum areas of the city near downtown.

I love Vegas because I am a diehard gambler, but I try and stay away from the dregs of society in the downtown area as much as possible

I don't know it's not, but I didn't make the claim one way or the other. You did. Pawn shops perform a pretty valuable service for some people, and they certainly aren't all sleazy.

I think he needed the cash to pay for treatments for that high ankle sprain.

I manage to live life without dealing with either. I don't think his characterization was too far off base. Yes, mosquitos and slugs serve a purpose too.
