We first reported a couple of weeks ago that Bengals receiver Chad Johnson had filed paperwork aimed at legally changing his name to Chad Ocho Cinco.
According to our friends at 790 The Ticket in Miami, it’s now official.
Chad Johnson is Chad Ocho Cinco.
But if that’s the case, his team has yet to get the memo. There’s still a Chad Johnson on the roster — and no one named Ocho Cinco (or, as some might prefer, Asso Holo).

Ha! So we can officially start calling him COC!

HALLELUJAH!
how does this make him an a**hole? He’s a genius. This will send his jersey sales thru the roof, and he gets a cut of that. This is brilliant, and completely harmless. Yeah, it’s batshit crazy, too, but why not? It’s just a name. Or, it was. Now it’s Chad Ocho Cinco, which is much more than just a name.

remember when he demanded a trade, what if he does get traded to a team with 85 retired, would he then change his name again?

Its funny. I like him. He’s not hurting anyone, he’s not cheating, he’s not using steroids. The NFL is always regulating everything that players do. What they wear, what the say, how the celebrate, how long the hair can be. (almost) Glad to see he found a way around their regulations.

Anyone who thinks a team would trade for him and not let him wear 85 is dumber than he is.

Back in the day another NFL receiver number 85 legally changed his name. Mark Duper of the Dolphins changed it to Mark Super Duper.

Hey Florio, did your misty-eyed soliloquy about Sen. Obama and his race inspire the “Get African American Women” ad on the left side bar?
Classy…Probably not what Dr. King had in mind though, huh?

so what? we all get pissed when people get arrested, but we shouldnt expect stuff like this by now from recievers. good for him. how many people have the surname “johnson”? like most with that or similar names, it was given to his ancestors by someone else. probably by someone who was not so nice. im pretty sure that he has made his own name in this world, hasnt he earned it? he isnt the player with the last name johnson, but he sure as sh*t is the best “ocho cinco” in the history of the game.

Here’s the stoopedist thing to me - “ocho cinco” translated is just eight five. If he were smart enough, Chad would research a wee bit and realize if he wanted to be referred to as eighty-five, he would legally change his name to “ochenta y cinco” (maybe I’ll change MY name to that and sell the rights to Chad when he gets a clue).

But, hasnt anyone noticed the obvious?
His jersey will read “Cinco.”
Not “Ocho Cinco.”
In the NFL they usually dont put your middle name on your jersey.
He should have used a hyphenated “Ocho-Cinco” as his full last name.
Dumass.

I can’t wait until that first game when the corner sticks a forearm shiver into his shoulder and sends him to the IR so we don’t have to hear about his stupid, unimportant, meaningless… second rate… never won anything ass again. OCHO… You’re a bum… you know how I know??? Cause you have as many super bowl rings as I do. Keep up the antics… that’s all you got anyway. Scrub.

Yeah should have done this 2 years ago when you where a god in the city. Nobody in Cincy gives a sh!t about what this assclown is doing. As far as it boosting his jersey sales, bwwhahahahahaha yeah right. This guy should be packaged w/ rudi johnson like a pair of b rated dvd’s you see collecting dust at blockbuster for 9.99. I guess anything to keep the attention on this man’s rapidly dimming star.
