Move Over Messi

(any opportunity to post this video is a good one. "BILLLLLL!!!!!")

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chad Ochocinco will try to play a different kind of football during the NFL lockout.

Never short on publicity-grabbing ideas, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is set for a four-day tryout with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer starting Tuesday.

The club said Wednesday that after the tryout, it would determine whether to extend the trial period.

"We're always searching for players who can help our team and bringing in new talent," Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes said. "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."

I know 3 is the resident futbol expert in the building, but to be honest I think USA soccer just got better today. Stick Chad right behind Jozy Altidore as a sort of Center Forward, and have landon attacking on the wing: Solid Gold. Backlines of all 282 countries just shit their pants hearing the news of "Esteban" taking the pitch. World Cup 2014 anyone?
