Rey Maualuga Is Not as He Seems

Fierce, terrifying middle linebacker? Well, yes. You earn that when your near-decapitations of UCLA and Illinois quarterbacks become internet legend. Polynesian warrior? Sure, he's got the tattoos. But there's another side to "Rey Rey" he wants you to know about*: His feminine side.

At right, you have Maualuga waxing philosophical about gender issues and the modern man. For example, are the tribal tattoos just too masculine and awesome, or are they compatible with the more feminized modern man? Ask him, he's got the answer. Is pink "in" this year? He doesn't even have to answer that one because we already know.

Another question answered: does this set USC football back? Rey knows the answer, son: hell to the no. This is modern man, hear him roar. Now if you excuse him he's got some quarterbacks to bury.

More pictures after the jump.

*We assume USC is scrambling in damage control mode as we speak.

We knew you wanted more!

If you've ever wondered if you can play D-I football with those on, the answer is yes.

Now just don't bother asking for an autograph, can't you see the man's busy?
