There were swirling rumors late last night and this morning that Chad Johnson's name change -- as first reported by MDS at PFT -- actually happened. ESPN's James Walker kind of relayed the story via 1790 the Ticket, and that's the hot item on Ballhype but I'm here to tell you, folks, we are now living in the same world as Chad Ocho Cinco.
Per my conversation with the Broward County Clerk of Superior Court this morning, the name change for "Chad Johnson" that was filed on August 8, 2008 became official on August 28, 2008, meaning that you better jump all over your NFL.com shop now, before the "Chad Ocho Cinco" name actually becomes a fully licensed NFL product.
Seriously. We need Darren Rovell on this one to find out just out much Chad, the NFL and the Bengals stand to make off of apparel sales; I'm of the opinion that if Chad Ocho Cinco (annoyingly long but it will never get old) has a huge season, then he's going to sell a ton of merchandise.
Assuming of course that Roger Goodell doesn't storm the Broward Courthouse and force them to change the name back.

Today is the greatest day ever.
Now if only Michael Vick would legally change his name to Ron Mexico...
also, what happens now if he is traded to a team with someone already wearing 85? will he change his name again to ocho dos?
Seven (7) straight 1,000 yard seasons on a losing team...he has earned the right to that ego...when you back up what you say you are going to do with actually doing it then it is not "trash-talking"...it's fair warning...
ocho-psycho?
ocho stinko. GO BROWNS!
Ocho-Douche-o
I like this dude. He has a good sense of humor.
ocho-gayo
To Wowman:
Chad is a hazard player and needs an attitude adjustment.
7 1000 yard seasons, big deal...he's a selfish player and when he doesnt get his way he cries home to mommy.
what a stupid moron.
Hey Brian are you from Montana? You sound just like my racist jerk of a little brother from Montana who is filled with hate and rage against anything he can not understand!!
It is people like you who cause all of the world's problems, this planet would be a better place without the likes of you hate mongers walking our streets!
i agree with dave he should have changed it to Dickhead which he is
Brian, funny you don't mention who YOUR team is...But trash talkin about the Bengals and Cowboy's ...Looks like your the prime example of people I teach my kids to stay away from. Grow up BOY! Love Dem Cowboy's! Jealous Azz, you just WISHED Pacman was on your nameless team! Ocho Cinco...I like it. Sorry Brian, Did I just cause you another menstrual cramp? Go fly a kite
Mr Puck... That is some funny ass shit..
get off the crack Mr. Johnson and get a real life with your real name, you are making more of ass of yourself as each year passes by. grow up
Dickhead, it is !
How about changing it to " Maricon Puto ocho cinco "
if he meant to name himself "eighty five", he screwed up. that would actually be "ochenta y cinco" or "ochenta cinco" in spanish. by naming himself "ocho cinco", he actually named himself "eight five". oops.
ocho-cinco is a salesman and football player not to many people get this much exposure from a horrible team so he is just selling his name. He is one of the best recievers in the NFL so start cinco de mayo early
