Yeah. Not sure why Yahoo brought this up again. It's kind of old news.
The old news was that he "gave" it to putin. Turns out Putin stole it while saying "I could kill somebody with this"
In soviet russia, the ring wears you!
Kraft said last week that in 2005, he visited Russia and left without his Super Bowl ring, as Putin admiringly said, “I can kill someone with this” and walked off with it. At the time, Kraft released a statement saying he had given it as a gift to show the friendship between the American people and the Russian people, but Kraft now says he was pressured by the White House to make that statement to avoid an international incident.
Spokesman for Putin denies he stole Kraft“What Mr. Kraft is saying now is weird,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. “I was standing 20 centimeters away from him and Mr. Putin and saw and heard how Mr. Kraft gave this ring as a gift.”
The Russians say the ring is on display with other state gifts at the Kremlin.
No word yet as to whether Roger Goodell has fined Putin.
