Last week's sports highlight was from a New York nightclub featuring Shaquille O'Neal ripping into Kobe Bryant in a freestyle rap that got cheers from the crowd. But Shaq hasn't been getting many cheers beyond that. An Arizona sheriff already asked for Shaq's honorary deputy badges back from him, now Virginia's Bedford County sheriff Mike Brown is asking for their department's badge back. Shaq was given the badge after his work with the Virginia county's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Brown also told the Associated Press that Shaq's likeness also will no longer be used to promote Operation Blue Ridge Thunder, a unit of the department that O'Neal worked with in investigating Internet predators.As far as Shaq's rap target, he's not talking. When L.A. Times reporter Jonathan Abrams asked Kobe how he took Shaq's jarbs during a USA Olympic Basketball team practice, Kobe said:
"I didn't take it any kind of way whatsoever."
Then he said he won't be answering anymore questions about Shaq and his raps. Guess we won't hear Kobe grab the mic anytime soon to spit a freestyle rap of his own.


1. Shaq was foul for doin that, and I luv Kobe even more for taking the high road!!!
