I still think it’s funny that the Cincinnati Bengals’ wide receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Ochocinco.  This stunt has elevated him to the ranks of great name changers like Puff Daddy, Prince, and Cat Stevens.  Instead of spending his time proving his critics wrong and showing that he’s not overrated, number 85 is spending his time carrying out jokes to ridiculous lengths.  Now, the sports media is calling him Chad Ochocinco as if it was a dignified surname with a rich history.They pretend like that’s always been his last name and that “ocho cinco” is the correct way to say 85 in Spanish.  Every time he is mentioned in the press, a high school Spanish teacher cries.  But if my last name was as generic as Johnson, I might be tempted to change it to gibberish too.
