I’m sure you remember when Chad Johnson wore the jesey two years ago with ‘Ocho Cinco’ written across the back of it and was quickly fined by the NFL after the game which ended Johnson’s fun in the interim. Well, Johnson has continuously stated he really wants that on the back of his jersey and has decided to take another route to make this happen. Chad has taken steps to legally change his last name to Ocho Cinco so it can be written out above his #85 jersey with the Cincinnati Bengals. If this does happen it will put the NFL in a pickle to allow him to display the new name on his jersey, but if it is allowed he is set to make a wad of cash from the move. Johnson’s jersey would immediately become one of the most popular purchases with fans and NFL players get a cut of the transaction form these sales. In the end I don’t see this happening for many reasons, but Chad continues to show off his self-promotion skills.

Chad Johnson announced today that he wants to be traded from the Bengals as soon as possible and will not attend any Bengals functions whatsoever. The rumors have swirled for months and Johnson has alluded before he wants to be traded, but today’s statements were quite damning. “I want to make this very clear,'’ Johnson stated. “I don’t know where he got that. I made no assertion to Carson that I would do that. Nothing has changed from what I’ve been saying for three months that I don’t want to play for the Bengals.” “I want to be traded before the draft, and if that doesn’t happen, I want to be traded as soon as possible,'’ Johnson said. “I don’t intend on reporting to anything.'’

Well well. This is going to be a very interesting offseason for the Bengals.

Last night DeAngelo Hall had a surprise for Chad Johnson. Below is the picture of the honorary haircut Hall unveiled.
