Mostly unrelated, but apparently Putin stole one of Robert Kraft's superbowl rings back in 2013? This is hilarious.
"I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft
said in 2013. "I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out."
"It would
really be in the best interest of US-Soviet relations if you meant to give the ring as a present," Kraft said he was told on the White House call in 2005. "I really didn't [want to]. I had an emotional tie to the ring, it has my name on it. I don't want to see it on eBay. There was a pause on the other end of the line, and the voice repeated, 'It would
really be in the best interest if you meant to give the ring as a present.'"
"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's 2005 statement said.
"The good news for Kraft is that he's now friends with the president of the United States, which means it might be time to call in a favor: Hey Donald, can you please get my Super Bowl ring back?"
The Patriots owner only has three of his four Super Bowl rings. Putin has the other one
