As we all know the NFL is in a lockout. Meaning NO FOOTBALL until further word. So what will NFL players do? Most players have financially prepared for this very moment. But the players are not allowed to practice, and they may miss game time. So what will the players do with their spare time, and to stay in shape?
Well Chad Ochocinco of the Cincinnati Bengals has decided try out soccer! Yup, soccer. Chad is trying out for Kansas City's Major League Soccer team. He has been trying out for four days and is very serious about making the team. Chad says that soccer was his first sport of choice. His grandmother is the one who persuaded him to take football serious after the 10Th grade.
Chad also stated that is was not about the money and that he would play for free! He is playing to stay in shape and for the love of the sport he has always had. He said that conditioning was an early issue as he expected. Obviously, because Chad hasn't ran at this pace since the end of the Bengals season. But keep an eye out for Chad Ochocinco possibly on the soccer field this season until the NFL and its PLAYERS work out this madness.
