Russian president Vladimir Putin claims Bob Kraft gave him his 2005 Super Bowl right, but the New England Patriots' owner said it belongs to him.
Maybe, it was lost in the translation. Russian president Vladimir Putin is claiming New England Patrots owner Robert Kraft gave him a Super Bowl ring and isn't giving it back, according to a report in the Boston Globe. Kraft has different side of the story. Last week, he told the New York Post that he saw Putin the $25,000 ring during a 2005 meeting in Russia. "I took out the ring and showed it to (Putin)," said Kraft in the New York Post. "And he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring.' I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out." CNN is reporting that ring is considered a gift to the Russian president and is now in the Kremlin library.

It's been a busy couple of days for Tim Tebow. The quarterback agreed to sign a free agent contact with the New England Patriots Monday and is expected to be at mini-camp today.

Let's do the neighborly thing here and help him search for a new home in Wrentham, Plainville and Norfolk. Why should Tim make him home in Sharon while in he playing next-to-door in Foxborough?

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft talked about the possibility of hosting a Super Bowl in Foxborough if Super Bowl XLVIII in New York/New Jersey goes well.
Could a Super Bowl ever be held at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough? New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft says he would welcome the opportunity if Super Bowl XLVIII next February in New Jersey goes well. “Let’s see how [the Super Bowl in New York goes],” Kraft told reporters Tuesday outside the NFL owners meetings in Boston. “We would love one day to hold [the Super Bowl locally] if it’s a good experience.” Kraft was in Boston Tuesday with the NFL’s 31 other owners to vote on the sites of Super Bowl L and LI and discussed what would need to happen for the area to host its first ever Super Bowl in Foxborough. “I think part of what it would require is political people in Boston and Providence coming together so we could really have the …

A look at some of the personalities that have come to live and work in Wrentham.
Wrentham has some long history, but did you know it also has been home to some major people? Probably the most famous was Helen Keller, who shared a home here in 1896 with Anne Sullivan. In the summers of 1898-1903, they lived in a cottage Sullivan rented on Lake Pearl. In 1903, they moved to 349 East St., where Keller lived until 1917. Educator Horace Mann, made famous by many streets and plazas in Franklin, studied law in Wrentham. Mann was an educator, congressman and the first secretary of the newly created Massachusetts Board of Education, the first such position in the U.S. Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane once lived here as well, and actor Mark Wahlberg still currently owns a summer home here, according to IMDB.com. The late former…
