Jeremy Shockey scoffs at LeBron James’ football-playing abilities

There has been a lot of chatter recently about the notion that LeBron James could somehow help the Cleveland Browns on the football field this season. In fact, earlier this week, James said that he could be “really good” if he put his time & energy into it, and the Browns (seemingly jokingly) even entertained the idea of bringing him on board. And who could blame them, right?
Well, don’t try to feed any of that jive to Jeremy Shockey! The Saints TE made his feelings on the subject clear via his Twitter account earlier today. saying that James couldn’t “even make a practice squad”, and calling out his 40 time as proof. Now, we’re not sure why Shockey feels so threatened by King James, but it makes for good blog fodder on a slow work day, and that’s good enough for us!
UPDATE: Giants’ WR Steve Smith has weighed in on his Facebook page, saying that he wouldn’t want to have to defend James. Of course, Smith plays offense. So he somehow managed to make this even more of a moot point. Way to go, Steve.

As we previously noted, James was an All-State WR in high school, and Randy Moss even suggested that he could be a better pro than Antonio Gates. Continue reading after the jump for the latest ESPN segment that got Shockey so fired up.
