Shaq goes up against the Philly-ified in season two of Shaq Vs.

We're not exactly sure why, but Shaquille O'Neal's reality show Shaq Vs. — in which Ben Stein's BFF goes up against pros in their field — is back for a second season this summer. Apparently, getting his ass whooped by every athlete he went up against in season one wasn't quite enough. This season, Shaq will battle athletes both traditional and not so much. Eagles' wide receiver DeSean Jackson clearly fits into the former. Jackson will team up with Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic, Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans and Shaq to try and defeat Jason Gay in a 200-meter relay race (or they could just giggle about this for hours). But the real battle to see is the Big Aristotle versus 2007 Wing Bowl champ Joey Chestnut. No word on what they'll scarf down yet but we're putting in our bid for Jake's 5-lb. Philly Challenge. Either way, we're not watching. That is, unless all of the three following episodes come into fruition:

Shaq vs. Jet Li in a Shaq-Fu style fight to the death.
Kazaam vs. Robin Williams in a Rappin'-Genie-with-Attitude slam dunk contest.
Iron Chef America. Secret ingredient: Shaquille O'Neal

Shaq Vs. season two premieres Tue., Aug. 3 at 9 p.m. on ABC
