Does any superstar in one sport get less respect from people in another sport than LeBron James from the NFL? First the Cavs’ Reason For Existence allegedly got dissed by Braylon Edwards(notes) before the ex-Browns receiver had a reported altercation with one of King James’ friends. Then, in the wake
of the Browns’ embarrassing 16-0 defeat to the Ravens on Monday Night Football, reporters began throwing out the possibility of James joining the team around the locker room, probably because the strain of covering such a dysal organization has caused them to lose grip with reality. Coach Eric
Mangini and quarterback Brady Quinn(notes) bit and pined for James’ presence, but nose tackle Shaun Rogers(notes) wasn’t having that. “A great athlete?” Rogers asked. “Yes. A football player? No. Yeah LeBron, I said it. It’s a punishing game. I just don’t think you can step off the basketball court
after not going through this year in and year out and just play football. From that standpoint, I just don’t think it’s possible. You have to weather and condition your body to take this punishment.” Later, Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey(notes) chimed in via Twitter: “everyone trust me Lebron James
could not play in the NFL!NFL Football Jerseysespn is crazy to even think he could even make a practice squad. [He has] a 4.9 40 time.”
That sound you hear in the background is King James and his posse laughing their bling-covered bodies off. Let’s see, walk away from being one of the two best players in a sport that doesn’t routinely debilitate people, with more than a decade’s worth of guaranteed contracts at maximum millions awaiting
you? No. Do this so you can join the worst team in football and get laid out by bitter opponents out to prove how devoid of toughness you are? Hell no. It’s not even worth discussing on a slow news day. Then again, if this were happening to Michael Jordan in his prime, don’t you think MJ might’ve said“Screw it” and showed up at the Bears’ facility ready to strap it on?
