It is official – Chad Johnson is now Ocho Cinco

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
As if the Cincinnati Bunglers needed any more bad publicity.

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 appears the decision is not too popular.

Two years ago, Johnson gave himself the moniker — a reference in Spanish to his No. 85 — and put it on the back of his uniform before a game. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before the kickoff. After the season, coach Marvin Lewis — who dislikes Johnson’s attention-getting stunts — referred to the receiver as “Ocho Psycho.”

Is Ocho Cinco wacked out or what?

While Cincinnati may not quite have the talent for the Super Bowl, Ocho is not helping things any. He recently held out to be traded and since then has had injury problems.
