With the Heisman Trophy up for grabs again this Saturday, it's time to take a look at where the bronze stiff-armer ranks among the sports world's coolest prizes. This isn't intended as a list of the most prestigious titles, but rather to honor the awards that themselves have the most character or uniqueness.
10. Olympic gold medal: Simple, classic. Even sports agnostics who don't know a football from a footrest know what an Olympic gold medal means. The fact that they're only up for grabs every four years adds to the prestige. Wear it out on the town and you'll never have to buy another drink.
