I watch them lose every year...I guess this was the only way to achieve a record

i would be very hesitant to bid on that as its most likely either a fake or a replica.

nowhere does it say in the listing that its the actual trophey he received. surely if you are selling something for 2.5k you would pump that aspect up big time

Here is the "1980 NFC Offensive Rookie of the Year" trophy given to Hall of Famer Billy Sims by the National Football League Players' Association (NFLPA).

Looks like it actually does say it
