Let the sideshow begin.
NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco begins his tryout with Sporting Kansas City Wednesday morning (11 a.m.), when he'll try to impress coach Peter Vermes and secure a contract with Major League Soccer.
Sporting Kansas City is streaming the tryout live on its Web site, although it is closed to the public in Kansas City.
On Tuesday, Ives spoke with Vermes for his latest column on Fox, and the coach said that he believed Ochocinco was serious about the trial but that it was a long shot that he'd make the team.
Give the rest of the interview with Vermes a read and let us know what you think about this unique trial.
Do you hope Ochocinco makes it? Think this is a waste of time? Wish it was't happening? Like the publicity for MLS? What position do you see Ochocinco playing?
