Ochocinco is going to play a reserve match for Sporting KC

It seems Chad Ochocinco's "don't cut me" plea at the end of his second day with Sporting KC worked (either that or the fact that he bought dinner for the team later that night), at least temporarily. On Friday, Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes asked Chad to extend his four-day trial so he could play in a reserve match on Monday. Chad, of course, eagerly agreed.

Vermes explains the decision in the video above, stating that the reason his trial was extended wasn't so much because he's been amazing on the pitch -- though he has improved each day. It's really because he's a gentleman and a super nice guy -- exactly the opposite of how those jerkholes in the media portray him.

So now Ocho's footy dream will carry on through the weekend a culminate in a run-out during a reserve match. And if the free press and equally free dinners keep coming, maybe even longer than that.
