Mr. “I’m starved for attention” Chad Johnson officially changed his name in Broward County, Fla. this week to include his self-given moniker “Ocho Cinco”. Johnson’s name is now Chad Javon Ocho Cinco. Looks like Carson Palmer won’t be able to rip the name off Chad’s back the next time he trots his crazy ass out on to the field with it on the back of his jersey.
Two years ago, Johnson gave himself the moniker — a reference in Spanish to his No. 85 — and put it on the back of his uniform before a game. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before the kickoff.
What a douche-rocket. Nobody needs a Spanish translation of the number that is printed in 250 point font on your goddamn back. I would probably feel differently about this if A) Chad actually had a cool nickname and B) someone other than himself had given it to him.
If Christian “Nigerian Nightmare” Okoye had decided to change his name to Christian Emeka Nigerian Nightmare I would totally support that. “Nigerian Nightmare” is probably to long for the back of a jersey but imagine how badass would it be to see a player trot out with “Nightmare” stitched above his numbers.
