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....

1. What if he goes to another club, and gets a different jersey number?

I remember Joe Montana traded 16 for 19 when he left SF for KC.

2. Excellent question...

The Bengals should just retire the # at this point and make him take a new #.

12. Then he can wear his jersey inside out & change his name to Chad Wash in Warm Water Only.

13. Touché . . .

15. He would pay the owner of 85 to get it.

Players do that all the time.

3. No hablas Espanol, Chad?

Ocho cinco is not "eighty-five," it's just "eight" & "five". Are you lazy? I like your TD dances, but you are kind of dumb. Surely someone on the team could have taught you how to say eighty-five in Spanish. Vaya con Dios.

4. dumb ass

"ocho cinco" translates to "eight, five."

shouldn't it be "ochenta y cinco"? i.e., "eighty-five"?

[Sodbuster]

7. Shouldn't he have added an 'O' at the end of Chad to make it into Spanish?

Chado Ocho Cinco ...........

10. Si...egoísta

14. It doesn't have the same rhythm.

Seriously, why people (not just here) are obsessed with attacking one of the handful of players that's trying to make the NFL not take itself so damned serious is beyond me.

16. Someone should tell Chad that there's no point in

changing your name to something that grabs attention like "PacMan", "Prime Time Deion Sanders" "Sweetness Walter Payton", "White Shoes Johnson", "Too Tall Jones", "Ickey Woods" (Ickey shuffle), "Broadway", "Hacksaw", "Mean", "The Juice", "Snake", "Minister of Defense", "Refrigerator", etc., etc.,......

UNLESS YOU'RE GOOD!

17. He should have changed his name to "Siete y Nueve"
