Shaq is getting a divorce ... asking about the wife's spending habits. You know that she couldn't be doing dirt (cheating) with another guy for two reasons.

The first is -- Would you want Shaq hunting for you knowing you tapped into that forbidden fruit? I don't think so. The second is "Who in their right mind would want to follow O'Neal after he's had four kids with this lady? There is no way you can live up to the barometer that she's using for her next mate.

The Brewers just got pounded by the Cincinnati Reds in the first game of the biggest road trip of the year (have you noticed how everything now involving the Brewers is the biggest thing in years?).

Now, we see what the players do during hostile conditions the rest of the season, so far they have failed. The Reds have nothing to play for and they played like the team in the race, not the Brew Crew. Ned Yost is going through this as a manager for the first time too.

What we will find out about Ned? Is he the great support person, second in command guy like back-up QB Brian Griese, PG Damon Jones or support actor Bill Nunn, or can he rise from the depths to handle the star seat like Denzel, Brett Favre, Mr. Marcus (Porn Star) or Phil Jackson? We shall see real soon.
