eball Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Is everybody aware that he is really calling himself "Chad Eight Five"? Eighty-Five is Ochenta y Cinco. Perhaps you've never played organized team sports, but it is EXTREMELY common for players and coaches to refer to players' numbers by saying each number individually, rather than the "complete" number. "Hey, eight five, run a go route." "One seven, throw the slant." Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Shoot, RJ, you don't need my permission for anything. Just wanted to point that out. No worries... I suppose it does indicate the different worlds in which people live that my first impulse was to say "that's not a correct translation." Getting ready for the upcoming term does that to one.

Matt in KC Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 That would be hilarious. Normally a player can pay another for the number. The guy who had 85 could hold him up for a ransom!! Or he could just change his name again to Ocho Quatro.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 There are people saying this is awesome and great, and I'm not saying it is neccessarily a bad thing, but, c'mon, this is extremely odd. He sounds like and is acting like someone who has bipolar disease and is off his medications and is in a manic phase. Saying statements like "people really don't under how smart I am..." is very strange. Who actually says stuff like this? He is legally changing his name. That means everything has to have that new name: his social, driver's license, creit cards, etc... How many people who think this is great would actually have the motivation/stones/chutzpah to go through with something like this? We should actually feel sorry for him.

H2o Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 He's another one of the rich people who've fallen off their rocker. Alot of people with money end up very wierd, if not crazy. Alot. He's always in the spotlight and obviously likes it. Therefore he does things to try and bring more attention to himself. This is pretty stupid, but it is funny.

Max Fischer Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Bengals wideout Johnson reportedly changes name to Ocho Cinco Aug. 29, 2008 CBSSports.com wire reports CINCINNATI -- Maybe receiver Chad Johnson can go by the name that his head coach hates. 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, according to several media reports. 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 website. "Have I ever had a reason for why I do what I do? I'm having fun." 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." Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the Bengals had no comment on the matter. Johnson has been a concern for the Bengals this season. He unsuccessfully lobbied for a trade in the offseason, threatening to sit out if he didn't get his way. When the Bengals refused, he relented and showed up for minicamp, but complained that his right ankle was bothering him. He had bone spurs removed from the ankle and was limited at the start of training camp. In the second preseason game, he landed awkwardly and temporarily dislocated his left shoulder. Johnson is wearing a harness and expects to play in the season opener against Baltimore.

The current scroll on ESPN: "Chad Johnson legally changes name to 'Chad Javon Ocho Cinco', NFL looking into the issue" Apparently Flordia's legal code doesn't apply to the NFL.

justnzane Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I am getting a laugh out of Ocho Homo's wikipedia page It just looks so horrible to see see ocho cinco where johnson should be. Now, if he has any kids, will they have to have the Ocho Cinco label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling if Rod Smart changed his name to Rod He Hate Me people would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
