A New Broadcasting Gig For T.O. Plus Shaq Is In Training

Everyone wants to be a sportscaster. Now Terrell Owens took the chair in Buffalo at WKBW-TV.



Nothing like getting a egomaniac wide receiver to talk about himself on camera to the local Bills fans. No that won't go to his head. So much for being humble by the Cowboys.

On a related note, Shaquille O'Neal is working on his post playing career and Shaq wants to be a sportscaster to. Shaq is taking a sports broadcasting class at Syracuse University, who has produced Bob Costas, Marv Albert, Dick Stockton and many others who I can't think of right now.

Monday Shaq began classes in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. The class is taught by ESPN play - by - play broadcaster Dave Ryan who works in any event that's a time buy for the network, (Lacrosse, celebrity bowling, you know the drill.)

The Shaq'caster is taping mock stand ups, scripting and learning how do conduct interviews.

Any guess which network Shaq will be working for after he retires? I'll spot you 4 letters.
