-Shaquille O’Neal will continue his quest to beat other athletes at their own sports on his new TV show “Shaq vs.” when he battles Albert Pujols in a home run derby during an episode set to air Sept. 1 on ABC. … Personally, I’d rather watch Shaq face a real test, like taking on an 8-year-old in a game of Operation.

-The Little League World Series will conclude on Sunday in Williamsport, Pa. … If you’re looking for a way to make yourself feel old, this is a winner.

-Michael Vick will play in his first NFL game in two seasons tonight when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Jacksonville Jaguars. … This one should be a dog fight.

- The NFL suspended New Orleans Saints second-year place kicker Garrett Hartley for four games because he tested positive for Adderall. … Sounds like somebody should have started studying the playbook before the beginning of the preseason.

- Sources with the Minnesota Vikings have said that the arrival of Brett Favre has created issues in the locker room. … Apparently the disputes resulted from Favre’s inability to make a decision regarding team meals. He initially claimed he would never eat apple pie again, and then stole the last piece from Sage Rosenfels only minutes later.
