Hold on tight, NFL and NBA fans, because Shaquille O'Neal just turned up the heat on an epic football showdown! On his podcast, The Big Podcast with Shaq, the NBA Hall of Famer boldly declared he’s putting his Cowboys loyalty on the wildest bet yet. Shaq said, “We’re winning this year... guaranteeing.” But he didn’t stop there. The 7-foot legend threw down a fashion gauntlet: if the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Philadelphia Eagles in their Week 1 clash, Shaq promises to walk down the Vegas Strip wearing none other than Charles Barkley’s legendary black dress from the infamous Weight Watchers commercial. And get this —no underwear! Yes, you heard that right! Shaq’s referencing the legendary dress Charles Barkley wore years ago, a hilarious moment forever etched in sports ad history. Now, that dress is the prize in Shaq’s bold bet. Imagine the scene—a giant NBA star strutting the Vegas Strip in Barkley’s dress, making fans laugh and gasp all at once. The internet exploded with reactions. Cowboys fans cheered Shaq’s brave loyalty, Eagles fans chuckled as if Christmas came early, and neutral fans just loved the crazy, colorful drama. One fan joked, “He just needs an excuse to wear a dress 😭😭it’s okay bro it’s 2025.” And guess what? This isn’t Shaq’s first fashion dare tied to football. He once joked about rocking a Cowboys cheerleader outfit—this guy has no fear when it comes to fabric and fun! The Cowboys vs. Eagles rivalry is already fire, one of the fiercest in the NFL. Shaq’s bet just cranked up the excitement for their Week 1 game. Now, it’s not just about touchdowns and tackles—it’s about whether Dak Prescott and the Cowboys can save Shaq from the most unforgettable postgame fashion walk the Vegas Strip has ever seen. So, get ready! Will the Cowboys dominate or will Philly deliver a spectacular loss causing Shaq to embrace his inner Barkley and rock that dress? Whatever happens, this game just got a whole lot spicier. One thing’s for sure: this NFL opener will be talked about for years to come.
