Anyone ever hear of this?

(SNIP) The current location of the trophy is unknown. The prevailing theory is that the Minnesota Vikings, who were the last to win the Trophy in 1969, somehow lost it when the league switched over to the Lombardi Trophy the following year.[2] The Vikings after winning the Thorpe Trophy went on to face the American Football League champion the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFL-NFL World Championship Game (which is more commonly referred to as Super Bowl IV). The spirit of Ed Thorp is also rumoured to have cursed the Vikings, since they lost the trophy that was named in his honor. To date, the team has lost four Super Bowls

It's a good day to know Vikings Fans.

"Look what I found out in the maintentance shed. What is it?"

"No idea. It's all shiny and symbolic of of acheivement. Unless I'm mistaken this is what is refered to as a Trophy!"

"I've never heard of a such a thing. If this is this thing which you call a "trophy" it can't be ours. What should I do with it?"

"You should bring it to the Eden Prairie Police department. Someone is probably looking for it"
