that would be awesome

Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson was fined $5,000 for wearing “Ocho Cinco” on the back of his jersey before a game in 2006.
To avoid getting fined, Johnson hasn’t done it since then. But Johnson now has a plan for how he can get away with having “Ocho Cinco” spelled out over the “85″ on his back.
We’ve learned that Johnson has taken the first steps in the state of Florida toward legally changing his last name to Ocho Cinco.
Seriously.
If Johnson follows through on this, his actual, legal name will be Chad Ocho Cinco, and the NFL would then (we assume) allow him to put his new last name on the back of his jersey.
From a business standpoint, this might be Chad’s way of picking up some of the extra cash that he wants to make but that the team has said it won’t give him. The jersey would instantly become one of the NFL’s top sellers, and NFL players get a cut of all sales of their jerseys.
In recent interviews, including one on ESPN Monday night, Johnson has made veiled references about future plans that he has said will change the way fans think about him. This is a strange one, to say the least.
that would be awesome
holy . what if he gets traded to another team with a wr who wears #85 and won't give his number up. It'll be The Fan all over again.
Simple.
He'll just change his name back.
I'd be willing to bet he'd still want 85.
I don't think he knows that ocho cinco means 8...5, not 85.
, what a crazy bas
That would be awesome if he changed his name. A nice big FU to the Commish.
This guys act is tiresome.He lost me opening game last year wearing the hall of fame jacket. He thinks he is T.O. There is only 1 T.O. All hype. I really think he is dumb.
Yeah he says he can swim faster the michael phelps, and he is serious!

He actually did it. I'm speechless.
Chad Javon Ocho Cinco.
That's what his checks will now read.
Now please trade him to a team with a player already wearing 85.
I can't wait to see what happens to this guy after he retires and no one gives a about him.
He's a crazy mofo, but he's also got dam funny!
People have weird names nowadays. I arrested a man-lady who is legally named .
It was spelled with a Ph though.
What a bag.

Would seem to be official.
tisk
What a shame. I'd never change my last name, might as well slap your grandpa while your at it.
lol it totally changed from "Chad Johnson" to "Chad Ocho Cinco" in one of my fantasy leagues.
It's still Johnson on all the major sports networks though. It will be funny hearing the commentary this weekend when Cincy plays us. I wonder if the commentators are going to go by his new name....
