Okay, it's only fair that I preface this with a personal disclaimer that I'm not altogether sure that this is real and not a setup.  That being said, here's the deal.  So, at a recent Atlanta Hawks game, the team mascot was walking courtside with a diamond authenticator.  A Portland fan sticks out her ring for a check.  Her man looks nervous but is still cool.  Guess what?  Yup, the diamond engagement ring turns out to be as real as a campaign promise.

Just a couple of things that make me doubt the validity of this.  First, you mean to tell me my man can afford courtside NBA seats, but doesn't buy a real engagement ring?  Not buying it.  And neither one of them looks legit pissed off.  YOU KNOW, if this was real, there would be some genuine anger.
