Vlad Putin. A Badass, a Dick, or Both?

A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said Sunday that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s version of a story in which his Super Bowl XXXIX ring ended up in Putin’s hands is “weird.”

Last week, Kraft told a crowd at Carnegie Hall that Putin stole Kraft’s Super Bowl ring during a 2005 meeting, according to the New York Post.

“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 told the crowd at Carnegie Hall’s Medal of Excellence gala at the Waldorf-Astoria, according to the Post.“I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out.”

I expect a bit more backbone from a titan of industry like Kraft, but either way, Putin is hilarious. I wonder if he is a bully at G8 meetings as well?

He’s a dick for taking the ring. He’s a badass because he actually used it to beat someone to death

I think losing the ring is a fair trade for getting to keep a story like that

I would have expected a bit more backbone from Putin. It’s easy to be a badass when the entire Russian secret service has got your back, isn’t it? So I’d say he’s not even a dick. He’s just a bell end. And a small, unimpressive one at that.
