Chad Ochocinco Says He Is Getting A Tryout In The XFL...As A Kicker

Alright Vinnie Mac, I see you! It seems like the XFL has been relying on the game and the crazy rules to provide more of the #content than big name players in XFL 2.0. Alright, one player was drafted because of his name. 

He also may be the greatest player in the history of football in addition to a living, breathing meme. We'll see about that.

However, other than Shawn Oakman, there haven't been any splashy names I have heard of until this Ochocinco news came across the timeline. I know the haters will say that this is just a PR stunt, which I would say may be the case if Chad Ochocinco was being brought in as a 42-year-old receiver. But Chad Ochocinco the 42-year-old kicker seems just fine since I'm pretty sure guys like Morten Andersen kicked into their 100s. 

Besides, Ochocinco has footage of him booting 60 yarders without even wearing proper gear.

Has actual game film of him kicking in a professional game.

And knows more about the physics of kicking a ball than anyone on the planet after playing more man hours of FIFA than anyone on the planet.

Plus if you think the man that built his company on entertainers like Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock isn't going to give a little extra push to give a kicker roster spot to a guy that brought this much entertainment to a place known as the No Fun League?

Now all we need is some sort of kicking competition with another funny personality to really get things cooking in the internet streets before XFL 2.0 kicks off...
