Shaquille O'Neal running the quarterback option? Whoa!!!

We know that Shaquille O'Neal, the Cleveland Cavaliers' superstar center, fancies himself in many roles: a vigilant lawman, a comic book super-hero and any of various sporting icons.

Now, we learn the NBA's Mr. Fun will run a football offense. Will it be the wing-T, wishbone or run-and-gun?

O'Neal and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will work on an edition of O'Neal's new reality television series, "The Shaq Show," next week at a Pennsylvania High School, as reported by Scott Tady for the Beaver County Times and Allegheny Times.

Writes Tady:

As part of his new reality TV show, "The Shaq Show," basketball star O'Neal will be at Ambridge Area High School's Moe Rubenstein Stadium from July 22 to 24. The 7-foot-1 center will get a crash course in quarterbacking, working with the Pittsburgh Colts semi-pro team.



The Wednesday and Thursday practices will be closed to the public, said Randy Cosgrove, athletic director for Ambridge Area. But everyone's invited to Friday's 6 p.m. showdown, in which O'Neal will take turns with Pittsburgh Steelers star Roethlisberger, seeing who does a better job of running the Colts' offense. Another semi-pro team might be added, too.
"We encourage thousands and thousands of people to show up," Cosgrove said, adding that the refurbished stadium's new parking lot off Duss Avenue will be open.


The 6-5 Roethlisberger, by the way, scored 26.5 points per game in basketball during his senior year at Findlay High School.

Careful, now: SportsArizona has a YouTube video of 6-5 James Harden, an Oklahoma City Thunder rookie and former Arizona State star, saying he'd like to dunk on the imposing 7-1 O'Neal.

Should be a pretty cool show.

Oh I'm sure he knows, he's going to help the team lose
or maybe he's going to take out Ben.

What was this kid thinking? Ask Andrew Bynum how Shaq takes to being stepped to by rookies. Bynum is a seven footer though and I wouldn't be surprised if Shaq could accidently murder a 6'5 rookie by delivering a forearm shiver
