Patriots | Kraft Says Ring Was a Gift
Wed, 29 Jun 2005 16:58:58 -0700
Updating previous reports, the Associated Press reports New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he gave his Super Bowl ring to Russian president Vladimir Putin out of "respect and admiration." "I showed the president my most recent Super Bowl ring," Kraft said in a statement. The Russian president "was clearly taken with its uniqueness," Kraft said. "At that point, I decided to give him the ring as a symbol of the respect and admiration that I have for the Russian people and the leadership of President Putin," Kraft said.

Was it at that point, Bob? Or when you saw Putin pocket the ring & walk out the door? Maybe you recalled that Putin was a former KGB chief? Or maybe you just wanted to keep your mouth shut & get out of Russia alive?

Look on Bob Kraft's face as Putin walked out the door with his Super Bowl ring - Priceless!
That's probably the same look Kraft will have on his face when Bob McNair is holding the Super Bowl trophy in Detroit next February!
If Putin miskakenly thought it was a gift and put it in his pocket, there is a chance that the embarrassment of asking for it back was more than Kraft was willing to do. There shouldn't be a problem in Kraft getting another one. I heard that a large part of the team's organization received Superbowl rings as well, so it seems that getting a replacement would be rather easy.
