Charlie Sheen was rumored to be the winning bidder who paid $230,000 to purchase Lawrence Taylor’s Super Bowl XXV ring at auction earlier this week.
Taylor and his agent Mark Leipseiter were apparently informed Wednesday night that the former star of “Two and a Half Men” was the bidder who paid the hefty sum for the piece of bling.
But, evidently Taylor and his agent were mistaken, because Sheen told TMZ Friday that he did not buy Taylor’s Super Bowl ring.
“As much as I would be honored to own such an important artifact, I had nothing to do with the acquisition,” Sheen told the site.
“The Dan Patrick Show” reached out to Sheen for confirmation earlier, but the actor texted “no comment” in return.
Taylor originally presented the ring to his son TJ as a gift, but the younger Taylor decided to put it up for sale, which didn’t bother his father.
The ring was sold online through SPC auctions. Current New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora had offered to buy the ring back for Taylor as a gift if he picked up 500,000 Twitter followers, but that plan fell decidedly short.
