Chad Johnson - aka Ochocinco - skips XFL kicker tryout, per report
Former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson - aka Ochocinco - skipped a tryout to become an XFL kicker that he said he was excited to attend Monday in Houston, according to a report Monday afternoon from ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert.
Seifert added that Johnson "informed the league Sunday that he had decided against participating" but did not comment publicly.

Johnson tweeted last week about the opportunity to try out.
