From the Sun Sentinel in Florida: Thousands in Orlando want Shaq to help with mortgages.
Shaq is used to facing down the NBA's most intimidating players, but is Orlando's mortgage mess too much for him?
A week after Shaquille O'Neal told the Orlando Sentinel that he's working on a plan to rescue Central Floridians facing foreclosure, he has learned just how widespread the problem is.
People like Belinda Petroccia.
"There are so many shysters out there who take advantage of you financially and emotionally," said Petroccia, who saw her income dip with the tumbling real-estate market and now faces foreclosure on her Wedgefield home in east Orange County. "When I saw this, I thought, 'That's what I need -- maybe Shaq can help.'"
Wow, the tone of her wistful prayer is quite something, huh?
We've seen sweet plaintive missives to the Sweet Baby Jeebus, St. Joseph, Hanuman the Mighty Magic Monkey, Thor, Ra, and ... now, Shaq?
Welcome to the Pantheon of the Gods, Shaq, baby!
