Shaquille O’Neal think the Patriots did Tom Brady dirty at the end of his run in New England – and he LOVES that TB12 joined his old team by taking his new team to the Super Bowl!
Shaq, who will be presenting “The Shaq Bowl” next weekend, was raving about the amazing 43-year-old QB’s career when he mentioned Tom’s departure from NE … and he didn’t think much of it.
“The way he came in … this is yours 10th Super Bowl and [to] play with a franchise and then the franchise kinda [says], ‘Oh, you’re old, bye!’ and he said ‘Okay, you don’t want to take care of me, after all, did I take care of this city? See this!’
“[Then he] goes to another city, promises Super Bowl and delivery ??? Wooo !!! “
Tom is not the only Bucs star who left his team confused – Shaq says he personally advised Leonard Fournette after Jacksonville Jaguars waived the running back In August.
“They messed him up in Jacksonville,” says Shaq … “I had a conversation with him. I told him to keep his head up. So when he was going to Tampa, I said, ‘Hey, man, here’s your chance. to let everyone know they were wrong about you. ‘”
“He’s playing fabulous.”
Bucs have a tough job for them – with a young star Patrick Mahomes leading the KC bosses … and Shaq can’t wait for the confrontation!
“This is what I like to see in championship games – the old versus the new. Will it be the older guy who will continue to dominate? Or the younger guy will finally arrive to say, ‘Hey, I know you’re Tom Brady , but is this my time to shine ?! “
“I used to watch this type of karate movie while growing up because, at some point, the student must kill the master to become the master.”
In the meantime, Shaq is keeping himself busy – running his own pre-game Super Bowl program called, “The Shaq Bowl” … presenting stars like Tim Tebow, Ezekiel Elliott, University Degree, The Miz, Anthony Anderson, Nelly, Displacement and more competitions at various crazy events at a custom Shaq Bowl stadium in Tampa on February 7.
