In 2006, the moderately insane publicity hound and Bengals wide-receiver then known as Chad Johnson, said he wanted to be called "Ocho Cinco, " a reference to his jersey, #85. Chad was even fined $5,000 bucks by the NFL for putting the name on the back of a jersey before a game.Last week, in what many thought was a joke, the wide-out formerly known as "Johnson" claimed to have legally changed his last name. He wasn't joking. Chad is now legally named "Chad Ocho Cinco," and the Bengals announced Thursday that they would "begin the process of listing the former Chad Johnson as Chad Ocho Cinco for all club business," including, yes, his jerseys.
Well, played Chad! Way to show the world that no one, not even Roger Goodell, can keep you from having a really stupid last name.
