Looks like Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson will be able to use that "Ocho Cinco" jersey after all. Late last week, Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Florida. Will his jersey now be the hottest selling jersey at NFL shops this season?
"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."
The words – Ocho Cinco – mean "eight, five", in Spanish, a reference to his jersey number of 85. Johnson started called himself Ocho Cinco two years ago when he put a patch on his jersey before a game for the cameras. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped the patch off before the start of the game and at the end of the season, head coach Marvin Lewis referred to Johnson as "Ocho Psycho". After this stunt, NFL fans will probably agree with him.


1. Ocho Cinco is a better name for a fool.
He is blacker than black, "Chad Johnson" sounds to proper, I don't like it either.
He can always change it later to something like, Kareem Abdul Jabbar or Muhammad Ali maybe even Chaka Zulu, something with more substance.
