New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft recently gave the SB ring from the teams latest victory to Russian President Vladamir Putin. He called it a gift to show respect to the Russian people and respect for Putin's leadership. www.nfl.com/teams/story/NE/8609016 |

Hasn't Kraft ever heard of the Russian Mafia? Sounded to me like something off a bad TV movie. |

The article I linked kinda hinted at that. It said that Kraft took off the ring and gave it to Putin who looked at it, tried it on, put it in his left pocket and just walked off. I gotta admit a laughed a little at the thought that maybe Kraft was just letting the Putin get a closer look at the ring and didn't expect him just to walk off with it. Imagine it, the leader of a country like Russia just takes your superbowl ring and walks off.... so Kraft thinks quick and says "yes, yes it was a gift." I do believe it was a gift though. |

Just in case I say we inventory the White House silverware before his next visit.  |
