Shaq Versus

The past two Tuesdays, from eight to nine,I've been watching a new ABC show, Shaq Vs. In the show, Shaq takes on the top pro athletes in their sports. So far, the results havn't been great for the Big Shaqtus.



The first week, Shaq took on Ben Roethlisberger at football. He didn't do as bad as I thought, staying with Big Ben for most of the game. The only thing was that Shaq got a stipulation. He only had to go from the twenty yard line while Big Ben had to go from the forty, which isn't unreasonable considering how good he is. Each player got the chance to score three times, with each touchdown counting as seven points. After each player got two chances, the score was fourteen up. On his third try, Shaq threw an interception while Big Ben scored. Game, Big Ben. Even though he lost, Shaq was pretty funny and the show was entertaining.



Last night, the show's second episode aired. This time, The Big Freeze took on Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. He didn't have any advantages this time, and got to pick a partner. He chose Todd Rogers, an Olympic Gold Medalist. He also brought in Casey Jennings, Misty May Treanor's husband. However, he and his partners lost both games in a best of three series. As a bet, Shaq had to walk down a California beach wearing a pink speedo.



In next week's show, Shaq takes on Albert Pujols in a home run contest. Shaq only needs to hit it two hundred feet while Pujols needs to hit it four hundred feet. The episode will be on next Thursday on ABC. Shaq also plans to take on Oscar De La Hoya, Lance Armstrong, and Michael Phelps. If Shaq can win any of these contests isn't known, but it's entertaining to watch. One thing I would like to see added is the other athletes taking on Shaq at a basketball game.
