08:04 AM ET 08.04 | Shaquille O'Neal has been rejected in his attempt to lure soccer star David Beckham as an opponent in the television reality series "Shaq Vs." And Shaq is not too pleased. He has continued his tirade after learning Beckham rejected the offer, adding: "Official, today is David Beckham is scared of Shaq day, he should b scared, he can never score a goal on me."

"Official, today is David Beckham is scared of Shaq day, he should b scared, he can never score a goal on me."

Shaq day??? he should B scared??? is this just poor editing or did Shaq type this out??

I think it is safe to say that was all Shaq.

I have to question Beckham's advisoers - they willingly shun the US soccer supporter when they put him on shows like Ellen instead of having him talk soccer on FFF or WSD...and now this.

Granted, I know it is a gimmick show, blah, blah, blah but it is something dealing with sports and a viewing base of sports fans...

i know, right? i liken it to the same phenomenon that attracts all the trolls and haters to the usmnt team threads. it's powerfully magnetic. or perhaps t&r has laced their beckham threads with nicotine? interesting theory to consider, that's for sure.

I wouldn't want to hang out with that Goliath either. They would both need translators to understand each other.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

T&R, you should be ashamed of yourselves!

Its this twitter crap, its where people are excused to abbreviate everything...

Probably from his Twitter. Never has the English language been more mangled in 140 characters or less.

Beckham--or should I say his handlers--turned down some publicity? Maybe there is some news here!

yeah, i really don't get their editorial choices.

Shaq is funny, and he is a dork. I care less about him than Beckham. He burns bridges everywhere he goes: Orlando, LA, Miami, Phoenix, his wife. (why are they still together, I heard they were getting a divorce, but she was recently referred to as his wife, with no mention of divorce.)

Oooh...what a minute, don't say that!! Come on now - I got slammed during the winter transfer season suggesting that Villarreal should loan Jozy out to Everton...it was along the lines that he needs to just grow into Spanish football and that Premiership football would hinder his development. Puh-leez!!!! He needs flipping playing time...and now we are going to see that all Villa-flocking-rreal only wanted some decent money for him.

It's all a views based system. The Becks ones get more views so they post more on him. They do this with everything, and its not going to stop soon. The Clark/Livorno posts got a lot of traffic so they did like three of them last week.

Traffic = ad revenue. Kinda simple.

okay, but they totally miss some breaking stories that would get a lot of traffic. that is the part i really don't get. they post some lame things.

"Official, today is David Beckham is scared of Shaq day, he should b scared, he can never score a goal on me." I can imagine Shaq saying that.... Oh and Beckhams pic is perfect. Hes like "Its not my fault I cant bend it against Kazaam, but hey he cant bend a free throw around me!!!!"

I thought Altidore went to Olympiakos. Was that not a done deal?

There is so much really cool news and rumors going on right now - why is T & R wasting time and space on this - its BS. Lets go over Jozy's situation, or the Cody story even rumors on Freddy is better use of time than this.
