Still, Ochocinco insists he is serious about rekindling a soccer career. He said he has no need for money, even with the NFL at a standstill, and that he came to Kansas City for nothing more than to feed a passion. "Would you play for free?" someone asked during the media session. "Yeah," Ochocinco said, "can I?" At this point, it seems the Ocho might press on with this endeavor for no other reason than HC Marvin Lewis made light of the effort by suggesting the veteran wideout rarely follows through. “What has he ever done that he’s completed? What circle has he connected in any way?” Lewis asked, drawing the following response on Ochocinco's Twitter page: “Lewis won’t say anything bad about Carson Palmer, stays kissing his [behind], but disses Ochocinco daily,” Ochocinco tweeted. “Palmer has given a big F-U to Marvin Lewis, but Lewis steadily says how wonderful he is.Makes Lewis a hypocrite. ..." In other words, it's on!
