Why I Love NFL..!
Sep. 7th, 2008 10:43 pmCincinnati Bengals receiver now officially named Ocho Cinco
Elsewhere in the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals have confirmed that Chad Johnson has now legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco.
The receiver made the switch last week in Florida as a reference to the number he wears - Ocho Cinco being 85 in Spanish.
Now the Bengals will list the player formerly known as Johnson under his new name, including on the back of his jersey in Sunday's season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
Ocho Cinco has led the team in receiving yards for the past six seasons, finishing last year with 93 catches for 1,440 yards and eight touchdowns.
No one seems to have asked him for his motives for this decision!
