NFL Star's Unsanctioned Hat Could Fetch Big Bucks for Contest Winner

Unendorsed hat from Super Bowl week on eBay

The hat that took $100,000 out of the pocket of Chicago Bears star Brian Urlacher could retrieve thousands for a Tennessee family. Crystal Stupar was visiting the Chicago area last week when she heard a local radio station giving away the hat Urlacher was wearing during Super Bowl week promoting Vitamin Water. Since the product is not endorsed by the National Football League, the defensive all-pro superstar was fined. Stupar says ended up with the hat by winning the contest put on by B96 (WBBM). She has now put the famous hat up for auction on eBay. As of late today the hat has recieved a total of 94 bids with the current high bid at $15,000 - with five days yet remaining in the auction.

The bidding for the hat might seem a bit excessive, but we hope it sells for plenty more. Stupar's husband is an Army Sergeant currently serving in Afghanistan, so indulge yourself, football collectors - it's the patriotic thing to do!
