    Ocho's Backup Plan

    Geesh, it just dont stop

    Ochocinco to have tryout with Kansas City MLS team


    Mar163/16/2011 12:28:17 PM | More


    MSL team Sporting KC announced Wednesday that Chad Ochocinco will join the team on a four-day trial starting next Tuesday, after which the team can decide to extend the trial according to Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star.
    “We're always searching for players who can help our team and bringing in new talent,” Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes said in a statement. “We know that Chad is an exceptional athlete and that he loves the sport of soccer, and he did play a lot when he was younger. We're excited to see how his skills will translate once he arrives next week and begins training with our team.”
    Ochocinco’s decision to try out with Sporting KC comes as the NFL and its players remain engaged of a complicated labor situation that threatens the 2011 season and could drag out for months.

    “Due to the NFL lockout, I’m excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team,” Ochocinco said.

    I guess he played soccer his whole life and likes soccer more than football. We'll see how he does in tryouts tho. I'm sure he will get destroyed

    Hope he takes a soccer ball to the dome..

    It would be hilarious if he tears an ACL and then the lockout doesn't happen

    He better start running for distance. He'd half to play defense if anything?

    Probably the only place he could play, but he still would have to get in Soccer shape to run the pitch...this is purely a publicity stunt for Sporting KC to sell some tickets, or get the MLS some press when most of the media is focused on the NCAA, start of baseball, and the NBA

    He'll be the fastest player in MLS if this happens but I doubt he'll be able to play a full game at first. Football players don't have the crazy conditioning that soccer players have.

    This.
    Ocho is nowhere near the dumbasses like Irvan or Owens. The guy is very playfull and fun.
    I, however, would pay to watch him get into a match. You know he would make plays, put on a HOF jacket and say he was the best MLS scrub team player EVER.
    Then again, he's not playing under a crap coach that ruined Freddy Adu's career, should he get a fair shake. Just sayin.

    thinking the opposite of this. he'd probably be the slowest player on the KC MLS roster, outside of the goalies.

    great marketing ploy, though.
