KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Switching from football to soccer won't be easy for Chad Ochocinco, if it happens at all.

Locked out of his day job, Ochocinco opened a four-day tryout with Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday, and by the end of his first day with the Major League Soccer team, the star receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals was panting for breath.
