*The 2021 Super Bowl match-up is set, between the Tampa Bay Bucs and the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s the perfect battleground of old school vs. new. But, that doesn’t mean that you have to watch the same dull pre-game coverage. This year, there’s a new rookie – who is really an old school player – ready to get you hyped for the big game.
Shaquille O’Neal and a few of his famous friends are bringing the fun to Tampa with the Shaq Bowl, presented by Mercari, Pepsi, Papa John’s, and more.
On February 7, in a custom-built stadium, Offset, Anthony Anderson, Tim Tebow, Ezekiel Elliott, Diplo, Quavo, Nelly and more, will be competing in some wild challenges to take the Shaq Bowl top spot. Terrell Owens and Chad OchoCinco Johnson will be Joining Shaq as hosts.
The action will be live-streamed across more than 20 platforms including Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and Twitter starting at 3 PM ET. The two teams will face off in challenges that include dodgeball, tug of war, a dance-off, and my personal favorite, a hot wings challenge.
EURweb correspondent Jill Munroe hopped on a Zoom call with Shaq to discuss the event.
“With everyone home this year, we’re gonna do something that’s fun and entertaining for the people. I got a crazy lineup, a bunch of my close friends.” Of course, Shaq reassured us that there will be strict COVID protocols in place for the participants.
I asked Shaq which team he believed would have the advantage.
“ I know all these guys, and I think it’s pretty evenly matched up. Ezekiel Elliot is strong, you gotta match him up with Tim Tebow. You have Oliva (Culpo) and she’s gorgeous, going up against Winnie Harlow, she’s gorgeous too. I might have to go with team Tampa Bay because they have two rappers, but hold on, Team Kansas City has two wrestlers (The Miz and Steve O)… I’m not sure, you gotta watch.”
