R.I.P Chad Johnson ...

[purbeast0]

Chad Johnson legally changes name to "Chad Ocho Cinco".

He actually did it: Bye, Chad Johnson. Hello, Chad Ocho Cinco
By MJD

Chad Johnson no longer exists. From now on, when referring to the Bengals wide receiver who wears #85, he'll have to be called Chad Ocho Cinco, for that is now his legal name.

It's been rumored for a while now. Miami radio station 790 The Ticket reported that it became official last night, and Will Brinson of the FanHouse confirmed it with Broward Country officials this morning.

Presumably, it will read "Ocho Cinco" across the back of Chad's jersey now, and there will be nothing Roger Goodell can do about it.

I don't even know what to say at this point. My initial reaction still stands, but now that it's real, I feel more sadness than anything. In all my years of watching sports, I don't know that I've ever seen anyone who needs attention quite as badly as Chad (sigh) Ocho Cinco. Jose Canseco, maybe. Ocho Cinco isn't quite the pity case that Canseco is, but he's on his way.

If he's going to call that much attention to himself, he better have a huge season.

LOL!

Does this mean Terrell Owens will finally change his name to Terrell Biggest Crybaby Ever, so he can follow suit with that on his jersey?

Cuz he was fined for taping the words "ocho cinco" over his last name on the back of his jersey a while back. Now he can do it without being fined.

I hope somebody's explained to him that it reads "eight five" and not "eighty-five"...

Ocho Cinco sounds better than ochenta y cinco IMO.
