Ocho Cinco!?!?!?!?

[Kingsgirl4]

The Cincinnati Bengals receiver has legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Fla., a switch that became official this week. Johnson, who lives in Miami, didn't return a message left on his cell phone Friday night.
"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."

As a Cowboys fan, It is nice to see this. This is making Terrell Owens seem almost normal... What is he thinking???

Whooooooooo! Once again, I have a crazy person on my fantasy team!!!!!

One thing, KG4? While this may make "Ocho Cinco" more than just a little off center, it certainly doesn't make Terrell Owens "normal" by any stretch of the imagination...

Silly Cowboys fan.

I like it.

P.S. Cowboys fan?

 

[Spike]

I embrace Ocho Cinco as a member of our Latin community.

 

[SLAB]

I love it!

Ocho Cinco may be a bit over the top, but entertainment needs people like him!

P.S. Cowboys fan?

Yes, she's a Cowboys fan. It's one of those family things you just have to deal with...

 

[Kingsgirl4]

I have to be a Cowboys Fan! Another way to torture my mother when I was young!!!!

 

[nebs]

That's the ONLY way that makes sense. Lakers fan too?

No, that hatred Mom and I share. It is a family tradition!

I am a Bengal fan since 1981... I hate Ocho Stinko.. He is what's wrong with sports (his little off season tirade and almost not reporting to training camp)

See that's the thing.. I like watching everything Ocho and the best part is that I don't have to deal with him being on my team.

 

[nebs]

Oh and I like that I can just say Ocho now. lol

 

[StevenHW]

"Ocho Cinco"? That's the most strangest sports player name since "He Hate Me" from the defunct XFL.

Oh and I like that I can just say Ocho now. lol

In this individual's case I have always just opted for "Idiot".

I don't get the opportunity to live in Cincinnati, but I read what they have to go through.. It reminds me a lot of Ron Artest.. Seriously.. It's that bad. REAL talented player who just doesn't "get it".

 

[est.1999]

the reason he did this, and NOT to make it seem "normal" at all, was a money thing. Players get a percentage of jersey sales and since he never got that contract extention that he wanted, this was his way of making some of that money back.

Still a stupid move IMO lol.

I wonder, if after he retires, does he change the name back to Johnson?

Atleast he didn't get arrested.

Hey how does this sound Bill Ocho Cinco Artest

 

[Spike]

Hey how does this sound Bill Ocho Cinco Artest

But Artest is #93?

You know...I just thought of something. If he meant it to read, "eighty five," then it should be "ochenta cinco." His just reads "eight five."

Picky, yes...it's kinda what I do.

You're not alone; I've thought that many times.

 

[est.1999]

they've been talking about how ocho cinco doesn't mean 85 for a long time. They've been saying it's ochenta y cinco just as long

I have to admit to not having paid much attention to the NFL yet...I'll jump back on board this weekend.
