Chad Ochocinco was unsuccessful in his attempt to crack the roster of MLS soccer squad Sporting Kansas City, who evaluated the Bengals wide receiver in a week-long tryout. He wasn't offered a contract, but today he was named an "honorary member" of the team by coach Peter Vermes.

Now that he has a little free time on his hands, Chad Ochocinco is attempting to make the jump from professional football to professional futbol. Next week, the outspoken Bengals wide receiver will get a four-day tryout with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer.
