Shaquille O’Neal let it rip Thursday night during the “Inside the NBA” on TNT. O’Neal and Charles Barkley raced to the big board during the broadcast in front of a live audience in San Francisco. For the record, Shaq won the race, but it was what he said when he got back to the desk that had people’s attention. “In the words of Marshawn Lynch, I’m tired as (s-word), America.

Mace said she was speaking out because her home state’s top prosecutor didn’t take action even after she alerted investigators.
