‘I can kill someone with this ring’: Vladimir Putin denies he stole an NFL Super Bowl ring from team owner Robert Kraft
Russian President Vladimir Putin is denying insinuations that he stole New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl ring that’s now on display in the Kremlin, but says he’s ready to buy him another ring as a gift.
Putin was reacting Sunday through a spokesman to a New York Post story quoting remarks made by Kraft at an awards gala at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel last Thursday.
“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, as quoted by the Post. “I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out.”
The diamond-encrusted Super Bowl ring worth about $25,000 changed hands while Kraft was visiting St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2005 with an American business delegation that met Putin. At the time, Kraft had said he gave the ring to Putin as a gift. (Photo: Larry Busacca// Anthony Devlin/AFP/Getty Images)

Is this the best way to share your feelings? Yes. Yes, it is.
Philadelphia Eagles guard Evan Mathis responds to the recent IRS scandal by urinating (or fake urinating) on an IRS sign. This is how you change the world, people.
Maybe Mark Sanchez is channeling David Beckham/every soccer player with long hair? The Jets quarterback spoke to the media with his hair slicked back and wearing a green headband that received lots of attention. He says there’s “a little fire” inside him as he faces the prospect of a tough competition this off-season. (Photo: Rich Schultz/The Associated Press)
HOPE YOU HAD LUNCH ALREADY: Subway made a statue out of sandwich materials of Georgia linebacker (and potential top NFL draft pick) Jarvis Jones. It is mildly terrifying. Maybe because we aren’t raisin people — his dreadlocks are made of 1,000 of them. (Photos: Diane Bondareff/Invision for SUBWAY/AP Images; Bebeto Matthews/The Associated Press)
Joe Flacco celebrated his historic contract in style on Monday: He went to McDonald’s. The Ravens quarterback became the highest-paid player in NFL history on Monday, after signing a $120.6-million deal over six years. That’s a whole lot of McNuggets.
According to ESPN, Flacco visited an Aberdeen, Maryland franchise mere hours after inking the deal. He ordered “a 10-piece McNugget meal, fries, and an unsweetened iced tea for $6.99.” Flacco is living large. (Photo: John Norman/Twitter)
WE’RE DONE. PACK IT UP. The Internet cannot get better than this.
This is Desmond Bryant. He is a defensive tackle for the Oakland Raiders (for now, anyway). This is his mug shot. We can’t stop staring. (Handout)
