Sports Brief earlier reported on Shaq eating frog legs on live television after losing a bet to fellow panelist Ernie Johnson.

Johnson came into Thursday's TNT coverage wearing a Bulldogs helmet and a covered silver platter. Underneath the covered plate were some frog legs, which O'Neal was ready to enjoy.

Although Shaq looked like he was enjoying his frog legs, panelist Kenny Smith did not like it.

"I just wanna let y'all know, these frog legs good. These are the best frog legs I've done had ever. You didn't think I was gonna do it, did you?"
