Chad Johnson... err... Chad Ocho Cinco is one strange cat. "According to Miami radio station 790 The Ticket, which is in Johnson's hometown, the receiver has legally changed his last name to "Ocho Cinco." Johnson forewarned the public that a major surprise was coming during a recent interview with Chris McKendry on ESPN's SportsCenter.

    Sure, it sounds dumb that he did this but Chad knows exactly what he is doing. He is smart and knows what gets people talking and he certainly caused lots of that this offseason. Plus, he was already one of the best selling jerseys in the league and now with his last name change people that already had his jersey will go out and buy one. Players also get a percentage from jersey sales and if it sells as well as I think it will we may be laughing at Chad now, but Chad will be laughing all the way to the bank.

    I think it's genius. Gotta love Ocho's attitude. Be your own person. Life's too short for anything less.

    Well you have to admit that the guy sure knows how to play the media, probably the one and only player that can do that.

    And you have to admit that If it is true Jersey sales will increase drasticly

    I just think it's silly, juvenile and escapist to conjure up an alter identity out of thin air and then have people routinely refer to you by that stupid moniker.

    Sincerely,

  • brittanystar07

    Hope he doesn't get deported for not having a green card.

      i wonder if this means he does lawn work now?
      • FIVERINGS
        Placard_complete_small
        During the offseason , that could be a viable option for him.
  • ThomasConroy
    This guy is an idiot. All he wants is media attention. Hey Ocho, to be repected in the NFL you have to play in the playoffs. You should read up on Jerry Rice because he is an example of class at the wide receiver position.
    • FIVERINGS

      Very true. Jerry Rice also had one of the best QB's to ever play the game throwing to him. Carson Palmer will never be a Montana, or for that matter, not even as good as Steve Young.

        He might be a J.T. O'sullivan!
