    In his bankruptcy reorganization plan, veteran quarterback Mark Brunell wants to hold onto some things that are precious to him: his Super Bowl ring from his time with the New Orleans saints and his national championship college ring at the Univeristy of Washington. Brunell is willing to pay for the items with the proceeds counted as partial payments to his creditors, according to the Florida Times-Union. Brunell, who played for the New York Jets last year and spent most of his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year, in the plan, Brunell stated that his "future income is uncertain." Why did Brunell go bankrupt? Failed business partnerships, including real estate investments, and an investment in Whataburger restaurant franchises in the Jacksonville area.

    Well, he's just as successful as businessman, as he was at QB

    Think I remember hearing that he invested heavy in a mall or something right when the market tanked.
