...Neal began by telling me he's won every contest on Shaq Vs., a bold gambit, since the two episodes that had already aired showed him losing. When I brought this up, he said, "I guarantee I beat Michael Phelps at swimming. And when I guarantee, I deliver." When I asked him what kind of handicap Phelps gave him, O'Neal said, "I win one race." Then: "Out of many races...
Like the athletes in every episode of Shaq Vs., I found that the man had gotten into my head. Panicking, I asked him how he was going to beat me. "I probably can't," he said. This clearly was a trick, perhaps a way of distracting me while he appeared out of my boom box as a genie and dunked a basketball on my head. Seriously, I feel better every time I mention Kazaam.

...defeated top-seeded and No. 36 Michaela Kissel of Marshall, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. “They were difficult matches, but I went out to play my game and came away with a win,” Cao said.

National Geographic beat Field & Stream to the punch, launching menswear in 2005. And neither of them is even the most unlikely fashion patron. Kenny Chesney's a designer now, selling his Blue Chair Bay line in three locations in the South...
...finest trio finds itself being pulled in disparate directions. “Popular Songs,” like Yo La Tengo’s last album—the colorful, horn-filled 2006 pastiche “I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass”—touches on an array of different genres and styles. The middling songs on “Beat Your Ass” were often indistinguishable and therefore inoffensive; the same cannot be said for “Popular Songs.” Each track here is crafted...
