Browsing through the web and found this:

"AP) New York - The Lombardi Trophy will not only be changing each year, it will be changing depends on which team wins. "In the same way that we design unique Super Bowl rings for each team, the NFL will be now making two trophies for each championship game and presenting one," said NFL Spokesman Phil Arriello. "The team that loses the Superbowl still has much to be proud of and will be awarded their second place trophy in a separate ceremony." he added. The designs for each team are being handled by the famous design firm of St. Bellows of New York, the same company repsponsible for most major sports trophies to include the Stanley Cup and America's Cup."

Pretty interesting. I like that the runner up of the Super Bowl should be presented something for their accomplishment.

They already do, it's called a conference championship trophy.
I took the article to mean another trophy besides the conference trophy, am I wrong here?
You read it correctly, but if you look at the bottom of that thread it appears the author fesses up to the joke. Even if it were real I think it'd be silly to reward a team for losing.

Why not link the joke pictures that the original post had? There is nothing to this story.
 
Second place is for losers. Only one team in the playoffs ends the season happy and that's not the loser of the Super Bowl. The loser shouldn't get a trophy or any money or anything. They lost. Live with it and get better next season.
