Basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal is condemning any ill will over Tom Brady's $375 million dollar deal with Fox Sports.
On the Thursday episode of his show, The Big Podcast with Shaq, he spoke about Brady's retirement plans.
Co-host Nischelle Turner said, "Fox Sports has announced that Tom Brady has signed a deal that when he decides to retire, he's going to become their lead football analyst. The reported contract is 10 years. $375 million dollars."
"To call the football games!" co-host Spice Adams said in shock.
"Once a week, you can't beat that," O'Neal added.
"Shaquille, are we angry?" asked Turner.
"When it comes to greatness of this kind, if you lend any anger, you're a hater!" O'Neal said definitively.
"Well, he's paving the way," Turner agreed. "That's astronomical!"
"Nah, he's not paving the way. Everybody can't and ain't gonna get this money. Seven Super Bowls. Clean cut. Good looking. Speaks well. He deserves all the money!" O'Neal said. "Whoever says he don't deserve this money, shut your face!"
"Well he's also going to become the face of Fox Sports," Turner added.
"And guess what, I was sitting next to him — it's a gorgeous face," O'Neal said. "Tom, congratulations, baby! I need a loan."

I dont think Shaq knows what the word "deserves" means.
No one deserves 37 million dollars a year to announce football games.
I can't stand him. Listening to him call games? No thanks. I only watch Saints games anyway.
Americans like their entertainment and will pay for it, our government will help those families earning only $55,000 with subsidies for the Affordable Connectivity Program so they can enjoy it as well.
Many on the left love to complain about what other people make. Funny though, they rarely seem to make enough.
A curiosity to ruminate on .... talk amongst yourselves
Tom would be a fool to pass that kind of money up at his age.
I say earn as much as you can!
The market is whatever an employer is willing to pay.
unfortunately (or not really) it isn't your call. Sorry...........or not also
Something has to be "my call" before I can comment on it? What a silly ass thing to say.
Hmmmm where did I say that? You can comment till the cows come home. I was simply stating that what you think doesn't make a damn difference.
Sheesh. What did some of these people around here have for breakfast? They keep reading things that aren't there. Ohhhhhh I get it. Gotta do a "combo of virtue signaling with a little victimhood thrown in for good measure" day.
Just mind your own business. If you want to comment on the seeded article then comment on it. Keep your opinions about other peoples posts to yourself.
But you provided the lead in by calling my comment "a silly ass thing to say". Was I just to leave that stand?
No worries Shaq ..... haters gotta hate.
Brady knows that.
Talking about a 37 million dollar a year salary for announcing football games is not "hate".
Hate .... jealousy .... potato .... potahto
That said John, regale us with what he should be paid. What would be “acceptable” to you? You sound very knowledgeable on the topic.
Nothing? I was hoping you could change my mind with some “Keynesian” tidbit of knowledge I might have missed in my economics course work.
I try not to pay any attention to you.
Stopped watching football in 2016 and I am still alive. Actually I am happy to have my sundays back.
Me too, got tired of watching highly paid babies kneel on my National Anthem.
Although truth in advertising, I do tend to watch games my FF players are in. That is still fun, with boys round here, drinking some ice cold beer .....
“…on my National Anthem…”
Therein lies the dilemma, spartan, it is not yours exclusively.
Kaepernick has a different interpretation of what the anthem means to him. Is your interpretation somehow more meaningful?
Can we agree the true meaning is in allowing disparate voices to be heard? Or are the socks one chooses to wear, ignoring the conversation it meant to bear, simply too far a bridge to cross in myopic symbolism.
Exactly, and look at the reduction in police killings since Colin copped a knee.
I doubt we’ll agree on much on this issue.
Respect should be shown to be given. Kaepernick clearly only respects what he wants so why would I respect his actions? I don’t.
I don’t and won’t when he shows disrespect to my NA like that. Yes, my NA but don’t be disingenuous and infer I said it’s only mine. It’s many others as well and you’ll find out just how many this November

Sure hope you are here November 9.
Maybe you can tout the Biden economy for us?
Why are some only concerned about hurting feelings when it is feelings on the left? How about all the feelings of the people that are offended by this show of disrespect? What about the feelings of all the veterans that have hurt feelings? Why don't their feelings matter?
Poor oppressed Colin. Opressed all the way to the bank.
Yeah, how can it be a good day if you can't own the libs?
There was no disrespect involved.
I thought only the seeder can call off topic.
Why would anyone want to own a groomer
Tell that to all the vets and others who feel offended that their feeings dont count. I thought liberals were all about validating feelings.
That's what I was told a couple of weeks ago also. Guess it depends on who is "on duty".
WTF are you talking about?
You don't speak for the vets. There was no disrespect involved.
All those folks you speak of seem to look for reasons to be offended. This isn't one of them.
There was no disrespect involved.
You don't speak for everyone. Plenty of people were offended, my fathers ww2 group included.
"Plenty of people were offended, my fathers ww2 group included."
I guess they're easily offended then. For grown men you'd think they'd be more mature and not so thin skinned.
It appears the only people who were offended were those gripped by their usual faux outrage.
Anyone ever think we have too many busybodies way too interested in stuff that just ain't any of their business?
Shown daily round these parts....................a lot of it has to do with envy and dissatisfaction with their own lot in life I'm afraid.
Who the hell wouldn't want to be able to have that kind of money?
Yeah all of us are so envious of all the wealthy and that makes us such foul miserable loathsome creatures to the 'right'
That's quite funny. I neither said nor implied what you just commented. Foul, miserable, loathsome? I think not. Just habitual bitchers about things that are none of their business NOR they can control.
I never said you said that or implied that. Typical of the 'right' regarding the 'left' though.
"Just habitual bitchers about things that are none of their business"
Oh you mean like the 'right' and women's rights to their own bodies and choices?
Like that?
You don't want any lunch today I see.
Nope. Not even close. And it isn't all just the right. But you know that already......................or should if you are honest with yourself
Remember, the left is freaking out over a "what if" situation they drummed up over a leaked draft.
You would think that with the blind support they give Biden they would follow his lead with abortion:
Yeah all of us are so envious of all the wealthy and that makes us such foul miserable loathsome creatures
The fact that all the liberals want to 'tax the rich' and corporations so they pay what the liberals feel is their 'fair share' and then redistribute that wealth to themselves would be proof of that.
As usual, you are incorrect.
Nope. You are wrong. As usual.
A very wise man once told me, "If you want to comment on the seeded article then comment on it. Keep your opinions about other people's posts to yourself."
Tell that to your buddies then.
"You don't want any lunch today I see."
WTF are you talking about now?
That is the kind of response that proves I am right on.
I'm not the one here being dishonest to myself.
In your mind and your little buddies here.
You are being dishonest with yourself with regards to being dishonest to yourself.
As far as I can see, not one commenter claimed that Brady is worth 37 million dollars a year to announce NFL games.
All they did was try to rag on me and Tessylo for our comments.
This trolling crap will not be tolerated by me any longer.
Get your last comments in boys, because I am locking this seed in about an hour.
Post 1.3
I think all sports announcers are way overpaid, most players too.
The commercials on TV don't make me want to buy their stuff either
