Watching Cam Newton win The Heisman Trophy on Saturday reminded about the time that I had my picture taken with a Heisman Trophy.  I was working at a Sheraton Hotel. A co-worker told me that a Heisman Trophy was on the front desk and that I should come out to see it.  I thought that he was kidding because why in the world would a Heisman Trophy be sitting on the front desk at a hotel in Minneapolis? I walked out to the front desk and there it was! I found out that a guest that was staying in the hotel left it there for everyone to see. I couldn’t believe how big it is, so much bigger than it looks on television. For a moment, I felt like I won The Heisman Trophy.

I love this story!  But you didn't tell us whose trophy it was...I'm guessing some kind of hotel employee code of ethics is at play here?  Or maybe you really don't know who it was?

11/23/08 was a Sunday during the regular season and the Vikings were on the road that week, (and 2007 winner Tebow was still playing at UF) so it's most likely that the guest in possession of the trophy was either a retired recipient or someone who acquired the trophy by other means (i.e., purchase, inheritence, or on loan from the original winner).

Unfortunately that doesn't narrow it down a whole lot...we need more clues!
