BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin walked off with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft's diamond-encrusted 2005 Super Bowl ring, but was it a generous gift or a very expensive international misunderstanding?

A senior Kremlin official, Dmitry Peskov, told the AP the ring was a present. "It was offered as a gift to the Russian president in the presence of numerous journalists."

1. I can't believe

that was meant as a gift. You just don't give away your SUPER BOWL RING.

2. why not? . . . he can just call up the jeweler . . .

and have another one made . . . and thereby not jeopardize his business dealings in Russia . . . which is probably what would happen if he asked for the ring back . . .

3. Yeah you're right,

He's the owner. I was more thinkng of a player who all dream of getting one of those rings some day.
