Chad Johnson really wants "Ocho Cinco" on his jersey.
And since the NFL won't be adopting an XFL-like "Wear whatever you want on the back of your jersey" policy anytime soon, Chad's got two options: 1) Wear "Ocho Cinco" on the back of his jersey and pay massive fines every time he does it, or 2) actually have his name legally changed to "Ocho Cinco."
According to Pro Football Talk, Chad has "taken the first steps in the state of Florida toward legally changing his last name to Ocho Cinco."
I don't know what to tell you here. This isn't a normal guy. Maybe that's good, maybe that's bad ... I'm in no position to judge. As I've said before, I believe that Chad just likes to make noise with his mouth, and has little or no concern for the meaning of the words that might come out of it (and here's more bizarre evidence of that).
If the name change did actually happen, I don't know if I could bring myself to actually call him Ocho Cinco. On one hand, people have the right to be called whatever they want, but on the other hand, I don't feel like I'm doing Chad Johnson any favors by indulging his megalomaniacal whims.
You know, If your child comes to you one day and says, "Daddy, I want to be called 'Xontar, the Andromeda Galaxy's Prince of Pounding Spaghetti-O's'," I don't think it's in the best interests of the child if you enroll him in school as "Xontar, the Andromeda Galaxy's Prince of Pounding Spaghetti-O's."
He's a kid. It's a phase. And I'm not sure that we're dealing with any greater emotional capacity here with Chad. |

I liked Chad when he as performing on the field and entertaining us with original TD celebrations. He is becoming a little too much like T.O. these days. I sense a season of termoil in Cincy this year... |

He's a troublemaker.
Soon, he'll be a Dallas Cowboy. |

Because it's stupid....... if he actually KNEW Spanish, he would have "Ochenta y Cinco."
Even if you don't like the No Fun League, the huge egos on players, esp. players who have never actually WON anything is even worse. I mean, come on, is there ANYONE from Cincinatti who has a reason to brag, Jerry Springer excluded? |

So no-one should celebrate until they win a championship? Is there a window? How many years can giants players celebrate?
I like TD dances and wild celebrations. Its much better than chop blocking and actual dirty tactics in football, that no-one bats an eyelid at. Chad is an interesting and fun guy with a massive ego. Thats what makes him entertaining. Please give me that over boring players who spout the same tired cliches every interview. I wonder if its a miami thing..Portis went there too...and he is hilarious. Oh and as he mentioned hes not from cincinatti..dade county baby..lol.
I'm starting to like the bengals actually, what with Chad's craziness and Carson trash talking OSU..good times.
I read recently that a few years ago Belichek mentioned 3 players that he really admired around the league. they were Moss, John Lynch and Chad. Two of those guys are now Pats..makes you think. |
