Shaquille O'Neal (Image via Getty) In a moment of peak podcast chaos, the NBA Hall of Famer boldly declared that if the Cowboys don't take down the Philadelphia Eagles in their Week 1 showdown, he'll strut down the Vegas Strip in a dress and not just any dress. He's talking ' Charles Barkley's legendary Weight Watchers' dress. Yes, that one. Because apparently, trash talk now comes with a fashion statement. Shaquille O'Neal puts his Cowboys loyalty on the line with a hilarious dress bet On the latest episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq , the 7-foot legend didn't mince words when hyping up America's Team. 'We're winning this year... guaranteeing,' Shaq said confidently. But then he upped the ante. 'If the Cowboys lose, I will wear the dress that Chuck wore on the Weight Watchers commercial... on the Las Vegas Strip... with no underwear on .' Sir. What. The dress in question? It's a deep-cut reference to Charles Barkley's infamous black dress worn in a hilarious ad campaign years ago. So not only is Shaq betting on Dallas, he's doing it with vintage Barkley cosplay on the table. And in full view of the Strip, no less. NFL fans are already losing it over Shaq's bizarre confidence Of course, social media did what social media does best, implode. Cowboys fans cheered Shaq's loyalty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Colombia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo Eagles fans laughed like it was already Christmas.

And let's not forget, this isn't the first time Shaq has bet big on Dallas. He once joked about wearing a Cowboys cheerleader outfit in the past. This man has zero fear of fabric-based dares. Cowboys vs. Eagles in Week 1 just got way more entertaining The Cowboys and Eagles already have one of the most heated rivalries in football. Their Week 1 clash was going to be a must-watch regardless. But now? It might be the most anticipated opening matchup in years. High stakes on the field. Higher stakes off the field (and in Shaq's closet) and let's be honest, half the country will be tuning in just to see if Shaq's gonna need a fitting. Whether you're team Cowboys, team Eagles, or team 'please let this man wear a dress,' this matchup suddenly has extra layers. So now, we wait. Will Dak Prescott and crew save Shaq from public humiliation? Or will Philly hand the world the most glorious postgame walk the Strip has ever seen?

WeightWatchers emerges from bankruptcy after slimming down debts
WeightWatchers has emerged from bankruptcy after slimming down its debts, as it pledged to combine weight-loss jabs with lifestyle changes amid 'quick fixes' dominating the market. The company said it was shaking up its leadership team and launching a new menopause programme. The group filed for bankruptcy in the US in May in order to eliminate 1.15 billion US dollars (£840 million) worth of debt on its balance sheet. The court process enabled it to restructure its finances and write off the debts, which made up more than 70% of the total amount, while agreeing new terms to pay back its lenders. WeightWatchers' chief executive Tara Comonte had said it needed to transform amid a 'rapidly evolving weight managing landscape'. Competition has grown fiercely with demand for prescription weight-loss injections under brand names like Mounjaro and Wegovy growing, while studies into the long-term effects of the jabs are ongoing. On Tuesday, the group said it had appointed a new chief medical officer, physician Dr Kim Boyd, to lead the integration of emerging science into its wider lifestyle-based offering for members. Dr Boyd said she planned to expand the company's 'legacy' by 'combining the best tools of modern medicine, like GLP-1s, with science-backed lifestyle change and the power of community to deliver better outcomes'. GLP-1s, the scientific term for weight-loss jabs, work by reducing food cravings. WeightWatchers recently partnered with anti-obesity drugs provider CheqUp in the UK so patients taking the medication can access its 'companion' diet and lifestyle support app. Ms Comonte said it was a 'pivotal moment for the group, adding: 'With renewed financial strength, an expanded leadership team, and the addition of Dr Kim Boyd to lead clinical strategy and programme innovation, we're accelerating our transformation. 'In a landscape dominated by noise, quick fixes, and conflicting advice, WeightWatchers continues to lead as the most trusted, science-backed platform, proven to drive better results and lasting impact.' The restructuring resulted in the company appointing a new board of directors. It also revealed it would be launching a new programme later this year to support women through perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, through tailored nutritional and behavioural strategies. The move will help it address a broader gap in healthcare and meet the evolving needs of millions of its members around the world, it said.
