Bengals wide receiver changes last name to Ocho Cinco
Associated Press

CINCINNATI -- Maybe receiver Chad Johnson can go by the name that his head coach hates.

The Cincinnati Bengals receiver has legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Fla., a switch that became official this week. Johnson, who lives in Miami, didn't return a message left on his cell phone Friday night.

"It's something I don't think anyone has ever done before," he told the team's Web site. "Have I ever had a reason for why I do what I do? I'm having fun."

Two years ago, Johnson gave himself the moniker -- a reference in Spanish to his No. 85 -- and put it on the back of his uniform before a game. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before the kickoff. After the season, coach Marvin Lewis -- who dislikes Johnson's attention-getting stunts -- referred to the receiver as "Ocho Psycho."

Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the Bengals had no comment on the matter.

Johnson has been a concern for the Bengals this season. He unsuccessfully lobbied for a trade in the offseason, threatening to sit out if he didn't get his way. When the Bengals refused, he relented and showed up for minicamp, but complained that his right ankle was bothering him.

He had bone spurs removed from the ankle and was limited at the start of training camp. In the second preseason game, he landed awkwardly and temporarily dislocated his left shoulder. Johnson is wearing a harness and expects to play in the season opener against Baltimore.

how funny would it be if the bengals traded him to a team who had #85 retired so he had to wear a different number!
 
I saw where some teenagers were getting Obama's picture and "Obama 2008" tatooed on their backs in Denver, and thought that was the most stupid thing I'd ever heard of. I was wrong. :rolleyes:

I mentioned something like this previously, thought it would be quite comical !

I prefer to call him Ocho Stinko , a crybaby all the way. :river

I wonder if he knows that "ocho cinco" isn't actually how you say 85 in spanish...
My guess is no.
 
Has anyone asked the Bengals play x play guys if they plan on referring to CJ as Ocho Cinco during live broadcasts from now on? How can anyone actually say that with a straight face?

Also remember, this won't be the first case of an athlete changing his name. Does everyone remember: Kareem Abdul-Jabar (Fredrick Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, Jr.) or Muhammad Ali (Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr)??

That is hardly in the same league. Those guys changed their names for religious reasons. The only religion involved in Chad Johnson's name change is the "Church of Chad".
