    Looks Like We Have Another Broke Ex-Athlete

    A Super Bowl ring that Baltimore Ravens owner Stephen Bisciotti gave to former running back Jamal Lewis was sold in an auction for $50,820 on Sunday morning.

    The ring, which is made out of 10K white gold and has 3.75 carats worth of diamonds, was consigned to the auction by a pawn shop who Lewis sold the ring to.



    They really need to pay some of these athletes their guaranteed money over a 25-30 year period. More and more of these stories every year.

    Before anyone turns professional at anything, there needs to be a mandatory class in money management and real life. Dude cashed a lotto ticket and is now essentially unemployable.

    he also claims $14.5 million in assets, among them several houses, part-ownership of the waterpark and the stalled Grand Empire project — as well as one fur and a Super Bowl ring, valued together at $17,500.

    I don't think he is broke due to assests he may own, but he is probably hurting for cash. It's still sad that a person who made millions over a short period has to pawn once in a life time valuables.

    Fairly certain this is already the case for the NFL.
