Stanley Cup? Heisman? _____________? Which trophy do you think is the most revered in all of sports?

1.	Stanley Cup - the championship trophy for the NHL, a.k.a. "The Holy Grail" or "Lord Stanley's Mug." Unlike the trophies awarded by the other three major professional sports leagues of North America, a new Stanley Cup is not made annually; unless the Cup winners repeat as champions in the following season, they only keep it until the new champion is crowned. It is also the only trophy in professional sports that has the name of the winning players, coaches, management, and club staff engraved upon it. It is so revered players will not touch it unless they win it.
2.	Heisman Trophy - the most prestigious best player in college football award. It is named after former college football player and coach John Heisman. The bronze trophy has been given out since 1935. Today, there are 870 votes for the winner.
3.	Vince Lombardi Trophy - the award given to the Super Bowl champions each year in the NFL. It was renamed in 1970 in honor of legendary Green Bay Packers head coach Vince Lombardi to commemorate his victories in the first two Super Bowls. Each year Tiffany & Co. remakes and redesigns the silver trophy, valued at $25,000.
4.	FIFA World Cup - award to the winning team from the international soccer tournament. It has been awarded every 4 years since 1930. The tournament's final phase, often called the World Cup Finals, is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament final.
