Jeremy Shockey isn’t buying the LeBron James-as-a-NFL-player idea and said as much via his Twitter account.

From the National Football Post:

James said Tuesday night that he could be “really good” if he put the time commitment into playing the game, and he was a talented wide receiver in high school.

“I think he should come on down,” Browns coach Eric Mangini said today. “I know he’s pretty busy right now, but if he wants to give it a shot, the guy is gifted. He’s competitive and tough. I’m sure whatever he applied himself to, he’d probably be good in baseball or soccer or swimming.”

But Shockey isn’t convinced.

“Everyone trust me Lebron James could not play in the NFL,’’ he wrote on his Twitter account. “ESPN is crazy to even think he could even make a practice squad. He;s a 4.9 40 time.’’

Shockey must not have seen the Browns performance on Monday night or else he wouldn’t be making such ludicrous statements.

LeBron could play receiver or tight end for the Browns; The Hamburglar could play receiver or tight end for the Browns.

- THE 700 LEVEL reports that Michael Vick will star in an eight-part “docu-series” (reality show?) on BET.

- STATE FARM has video of LeBron James working out with his old high school team. He says that if he wanted to, he could quit basketball and play in the NFL. Duh. Who wouldn’t want a 6’8″ phenomenal athlete playing tight end?

- Per DEADSPIN, Alabama fan (and Father of the Year candidate) Dave Grzyb is pleased that his daughter’s domestic abuse charge won’t interfere with the Crimson Tide’s season. Nice. The site also details an open letter to Ron Artest that went awry.

- WITH LEATHER has video of a hockey fight. Funny.
