Long arm of the law Shaquille O’Neal (right) is looking to continue a sideline career in law enforcement now that he’s in Ohio playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Spokesman John O’Brien of the Cuyahoga (pronoucned ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County sheriff’s office says the Cavs center has applied to become a special deputy. He would have the right to carry a gun and make arrests but not be a paid, formal employee. O’Neal previously served roles with law enforcement agencies in Arizona, Virginia and Florida. The sheriff has forwarded the application to the state agency that must consider the request to deputize O’Neal. State attorney general’s spokeswoman Holly Hollingsworth says that if approved, O’Neal would need 36 hours of police training and would have to take the Ohio police exam. Parting shot “The NFL, with the players association, have been an embarrassment, because the legends of the game who have run into hard times, medically and economically, have been deserted.” — Jim Brown The Hall of Famer speaking after his appearance at a U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing on head injuries in football.
