NFL legend Ray Guy -- widely considered the GREATEST punter of ALL-TIME -- has been forced to sell off his three SUPER BOWL rings after filing for bankruptcy back in the spring.
61-year-old Guy -- a seven-time Pro Bowler -- banked a total of $80,100 for the three rings he earned during his 14-year NFL career ... two while the Raiders were in Oakland ... and one after the team moved to Los Angeles.
The rings (pictured above) were purchased by an unidentified buyer through an L.A. auction house.
After the sale, a clearly saddened Ray told the Augusta Chronicle, "I don't want to talk about it. I'm not trying to be hateful, but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do."

Magic Johnson laughed at the idea of bringing the Oakland Raiders back to Los Angeles last night -- but don't count them out yet ... because Magic told us he has yet to speak with ANY team about his plan to get an NFL squad back in town.
As you may have heard -- Magic just announced that he's partnered up with AIG to make the NFL thing happen ... but said it's more likely that he will have to get an existing team to relocate instead of starting an expansion squad.
There was talk that he could be targeting the Silver and Black -- but check out his reaction, what do you think?

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback (for the moment) Donovan McNabb could be on his way out of town -- but TMZ has learned there's one place he's refusing to go ... Oakland.
There have been multiple reports that the Oakland Raiders are the front-runners to acquire the Pro Bowl QB through a blockbuster trade -- but a source close to McNabb tells TMZ, "He does NOT want to play for the Raiders and would refuse the trade."
McNabb reportedly does not have a no-trade clause in his contract -- but according to Philly.com, he can refuse to negotiate a contract extension ... and most teams wouldn't trade away draft picks or players to get Donovan for the one measly year he has remaining on his current contract.
We're hearing McNabb could still end up in The Bay area ... playing for the team across the way ... The San Francisco 49ers.
