raysox Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6224036Ochocinco, or Johnson now(?) is trying out for the MLS. He will play 4 days with Sporting Kansas City, if they like what they see he could be playing another football in the offseason.Thoughts? @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvrdgsfn Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Really? I mean if there was one shining light about a NFL lockout, would be I wouldn't have to hear about him....Oh, btw Chad, how's that fight of yours coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I like the guy, he has a love for soccer and hopefully he has the skills to go with the passion for the sport, cause it would be awfully interesting with him in the league.

Kevin W. Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I would laugh my ass off if it turned out that he was actually good at playing the game. God knows he won't make the same kind of money in the MLS as he will in the NFL but it'd be hilarious to see him playing.

raysox Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I mean, its not like he's some scrub. He has some talent. I actually wore my KC Wizards jersey today. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I mean its no secret that I don't care for the guy, but maybe with him playing in MLS, maybe the league will gain a few more fans of the sport in America. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnivore Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Heard it earlier and think it'd be awesome. I wonder if they'll actually keep him after the trial, but...it'd be neat if he managed to get into an actual game before deciding to "retire" from the sport. I doubt he'd want to do it for a whole season, much less in Kansas City, but...no downside to this for either side.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I remember a ton of chat a while ago about how Allen Iverson could be the greatest soccer player of all time. Does anyone else remember that? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hey, if it works out, this would be a boon for the MLS - they'd finally have a bona fide American superstar. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm pretty damn well certain Landon Donovan still plays in the league. And in your area, no less.Or are you trying to insinuate something? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Shows how much I know about soccer. In all seriousness, I think that to be a sports superstar, not only does Joe Sports Fan have to know your name, so must people who don't like sports. Landon Donovan doesn't pass either of those tests as far as I can see. Chad Ochocinco would. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even on some "let me just put my name out here & get a free jersey with "MASTER P" on the back." He was legitimately trying to make the team. That was great, Master P was everydamnwhere back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 For what it's worth, Flame, he also tried out for the Raptors. Even managed to drop it into one of his singles ("can I really hoop fool/ask Vince Carter", from the single "Step To Dis"). But yeah, Percy Miller sure was one omnipotent sumbeesh back then, wasn't he? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 During the Rugby Sevens tournament, the announcers mentioned that one of the US players was an out-of-work NFLer who saw a sevens game on TV and told his agent to get him on the team. This work stoppage could be a great thing for some of the sports/leagues that aren't quite as mainstream since a lot of these guys' talents could be applied in other ways.As far as Ocho... if he has a genuine love for futbol, then good on him! But even if this is just about publicity, it'll still give MLS a well-needed shot in the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnivore Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Master P actually played in the CBA too. But the difference here is, Chad is already a professional athlete. This isn't Garth Brooks with the Padres and Mets in Spring Training. He actually appreciates the sport and says he works out with it during the off-season. Probably similar to guys like Tony Gonzalez wanting to play in the NBA during the off-season but not being able to. But unlike them, Chad didn't play soccer because of the season. Meh. If MJ can play baseball and improve over a season, Ochocinco probably isn't far off here. If he did it until the lockout ended and the team let him, it'd be a boon to their otherwise forgettable club.Here's an interview from 2007 with Ochocinco talking about his love of soccer. This isn't a new thing.http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=420353&root=us&cc=5901 NCFA-FCS/CBB: Minnesota A&M | RANZBA (OOTP): Auckland Warriors | USA: Front Range United | IFA: Toverit Helsinki | FOBL: Kentucky Juggernaut Minnesota A&M 2012 National Champions 2013 National Finalist, 2014 National Semi-finals 2012, 2013, 2014 Big 4 Conference Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJM Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Publicity stunt...I'm sure he's passionate about it and would take it seriously, but kicking a PAT is nothing like dribbling through defenders and putting one past the keeper.
