Add gorillas to the list of creatures intimidated by Shaquille O'Neal. During a recent episode of "The Big Podcast with Shaq," the former NBA big man explained that gorillas freak out when he shows up at zoos and that they want to fight him. Shaq even called an executive from Zoo Miami during the podcast who confirmed the tale. The conversation came up when Shaq was contemplating whether to let his gray hair grow out, joking that he would be a "silverback" gorilla and not a "silver fox." This led to Shaq, a huge zoo aficionado, explaining how gorillas act...

Every once in a while in the middle of a storm, you can get a sense of how the storm is going and how much longer until you begin to see the end of it. You have to pay attention and make sure to live in the moment, and not fear what might happen while you are in that storm.COVID-19, on many levels, has been a massive, manmade storm — not only for this country but for the entire world, and I get the sense that the storm is winding down. If I’m right about this, then the next phase...

NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal has weighed in on the COVID vaccine mandate debate—and it’s one where he might be targeted for cancellation like Joe Rogan. Why? Well, he spoke his mind. He’s pro-vaccine too. He took it. He’s not against the vaccine, but he is against forcing people to take something they don’t want. O’Neal, a four-time champion, three-time NBA Finals MVP, and 15-time all-star made his position clear on his podcast (via Fox News): But it’s just, people don’t want to take it, and you shouldn’t be forced to take something you don’t want," he [Shaq] said. O’Neal and...

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is so tired of seeing celebrities behave like morons that he is renouncing his “celebrity” status this week. “These celebrities are going freaking crazy and I don’t want to be one.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- In case you missed it, basketball great Shaquille O'Neal appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night. When asked about his thoughts on UFOs, he had a special Central Valley shoutout when he says he saw one in the North Valley in 1997. Advertisement "In Madera, California, and right when we passed the fairground, I could swear I saw a flying saucer come down with all the lights and it was spinning and then it took off," he said.

While speaking to the nation during his Oval Office address Sunday night, President Barack Obama asked everyone to remember that 'Muslim Americans are our friends, neighbors and sports heroes'. Though the president failed to mention any specific athletes by name during his 13-minute address, President Obama's reference to Muslim-American sports heroes was a well-played remark. Americans must not take out their grievances with the fanatics on followers of Islam, he said. There have been a number of prominent athletes in some of America's most popular sports who were raised as Muslims or converted to Islam during the course of their...

Shaquille O'Neal's solution for safer schools is more cops; says gun ban not the answer Shaquille O'Neal is a longtime friend of the police. He's running for sheriff in Georgia in 2020, he was named an honorary officer after completing an unofficial police academy program in 2016 and he's remained outspoken on police rights. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that Shaq's answer to school shootings is to make schools safer by placing cops around them, not by banning guns. "The government should give law enforcement more money," he said on WABC Radio on Wednesday, via...

With the mainstream media focusing on the one-year anniversary of the Charlottesville riots of last year, many news organizations are basically blaming President Trump for stoking the hatred and racial tension that led to the violence in that small college town, because of his coarse rhetoric on immigration and the NFL player protests. I will concede that Trump is not without blame in contributing to some of the coarseness of our society, but it’s hard to deny the fact that Trump has been consistent his whole, adult life. Trump has always been brash, arrogant, self-centered, abrasive in his language, and...

In the stew of false information and conspiracy theories that swirls online, perhaps no idea is as flummoxing as the belief in a flat Earth. Flat-Earthers believe that the Earth is a flat disc ringed by an ice wall. All those elegant models of a round Earth that perfectly explain seasons, eclipses, sunrises and sunsets? Lies and cover-ups, they say. Pictures of the round Earth from space? Government conspiracies. The fact that you can see ships disappearing hull-first over the curve of the horizon with your own eyes? Well, flat-Earthers claim to see something different. It's been a big publicity...

Shaq, a college graduate, defended Kyrie, saying: “It’s true. The Earth is flat. Listen, I drive from coast to coast, and this sh*t is flat to me. You mean to tell me that China is under us? It’s not. The world is flat.” One of Shaq’s podcast co-hosts refuted his assertion by saying, “We’ve seen the Earth from satellite imagery.” Shaq replied by saying that could be manipulated. To buttress his statement, Shaq pointed to the inaccuracies taught in school, such as the theory that Christopher Columbus had discovered America.

SNIP “We hear one thing from the media and government agencies, but are we getting the truth?” he asks in an entry on his personal website. Shaq backs up his World Trade Center “inside job” theory by pointing to a YouTube clip of the terrorist attack that he says clearly displays two “impossibilities.” First, he insists the composition of the buildings was too strong and “wouldn’t allow a plane to slice through it as cleanly as Flight 175 did.” Second, he focuses on a part of the video that appears to show that either a plane or a distant building...

Looks like conspiracy theorist won’t be added to Shaquille O’Neal’s resume anytime soon.

In case you missed it, Shaquille O’Neal received an honorary badge from the U.S. Marshals in September 2005, and was made a special deputy in 2006 by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. That’s four NBA titles, one college degree (which he completed in the middle of his NBA career) and two badges, all for the same guy who has already completed more than one man’s fair share of Icy Hot commercials. But Shaq, Shaq, Shaq, it’s time to give one back. It seems as though he was caught on tape rapping in a club somewhere, and his language was not...
