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
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

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.
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.
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
