Russian president Vladimir Putin claims Bob Kraft gave him his 2005 Super Bowl right, but the New England Patriots' owner said it belongs to him.
Maybe, it was lost in the translation. Russian president Vladimir Putin is claiming New England Patrots owner Robert Kraft gave him a Super Bowl ring and isn't giving it back, according to a report in the Boston Globe. Kraft has different side of the story. Last week, he told the New York Post that he saw Putin the $25,000 ring during a 2005 meeting in Russia. "I took out the ring and showed it to (Putin)," said Kraft in the New York Post. "And he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring.' I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out." CNN is reporting that ring is considered a gift to the Russian president and is now in the Kremlin library.
