    Bengals putting Ocho Cinco on No. 85 jersey
    ESPN.com news services

    Updated: September 4, 2008, 4:00 PM ET


    CINCINNATI -- Chad Johnson is no more. It's officially Chad Ocho Cinco in the NFL.

    The Cincinnati Bengals announced Thursday that they have begun "the process of listing the former Chad Johnson as Chad Ocho Cinco for all club business, per the legal change of his surname effected in Florida.

    "The list of appropriate changes will include Ocho Cinco wearing his new surname on the back of his jersey for Sunday's season opener at Baltimore."

    Ocho Cinco officially changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Fla., last week. The league had not changed his name on their Web site or the team's Web site.

    "It's something I don't think anyone has ever done before," he told the Bengals' Web site last week. "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."

    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 on Sunday.

    Information from The Associated Press is included in this report.



    What a moron. Its like Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf gone insane.

    I find it amusing, but I can understand why some people wouldn't.

    Its all about Chad JOHNSON and not the Bengals. He needs to :sign0090: and play the game. There are more people on the team than him. I could care less about entertaining as a person. When you draw more attention to yourself than your team, you have absolutely no sense of teamwork whatsoever.

    Chad changing his name got more media attention than Chris Henry being allowed to return to the team. LOL

    ocho cinco doesnt even translate to eighty-five, so he is actually Chad Eight Five. if your going to legally change it , get it right. estupido would have been a better choice.
