Is Rob Ryan really Raiden from Mortal Kombat?

I don't know what made me think of this, but once I looked up both pictures, I'm almost positive that Rob Ryan used to be Mortal Kombat's Raiden. The picture of Raiden is from 1995, and now we see Rob Ryan 17 years later. With the 17 years comes the added weight, the facial hair, and the wrinkles. While the gray hair cannot really get much more gray, it's there nonetheless. Even the facial expressions are strikingly similar here. The more I look, the more I believe it.

My verdict: I'm completely sold on this. Rob Ryan definitely was Raiden. Case closed. If the Cowboys get some bad breaks from this point on, I expect some lightning to spark from his eyes. Who knows, maybe that's just what the refs need to get the calls right.. a little fear from Raiden.

Rajon Rondo: NBA All-Star and.. fashion intern?

Coming off a disappointed series against the Miami Heat in the most recent playoffs, many expected the "new" Big 3 of Rondo, Garnett, and Pierce to be working like crazy this off-season to exact revenge the following year. With the Celtics adding and dropping multiple players, I personally expected to see these 3 mentoring the newcomers in their winning ways. What I DIDN'T expect was to see Rajon Rondo taking a fashion internship in New York City with GQ Magazine. If you could have placed a bet on this at the end of the season, the odds would probably have been something like 1,000,000 : 1.

I do realize that there are two main parts to an NBA game: looking good on the court, and looking even better for the post-game interview. Some pros can kill the post-game look, where as some just make me laugh. Maybe Rondo is trying to gain some inside information on the upcoming fashions so he can out-do Dwayne Wade and Lebron James's ridiculous looking glasses. Here's hoping that Rondo kills it on the floor, and changes the post-game look forever.
