Guru, hope you don't mind but I gotta borrow something from ya,

World's biggest < >

Either he really is a mental midget, or he seriously loves to F with the media. I was watching an ESPN interview with him and he said that in the season opener vs. Baltimore he had something planned... what a tard.

Other names he is considering,
ElDumbo
Benny the Retard
Cedric the Entertainer-oops taken

If someone legally changed their last name to "Suckmybigblackcock" - and a judge actually allowed that change  - would the NFL allow that name on the back of the jersey?

No...the league office would shut that down in a hurry.

I think Chad Johnson is just as sick of the Favre-ritism on ESPN and wants to give them something else to talk about for 3 minutes.

Granted....we need it but I honestly think he is serious. It would be funny as hell if they allowed him the name change and then he was traded to another team and he was unable to attain the number 85. To see Ocho-Cinco on the back of jersey number 87 would be pure comedy!!!!!

[Brian Fein]

did you ever see "The Fan" with Wesley Snipes and DeNiro?  I could see that situation happenning. 

"I'm Ocho Cinco, baby, you got my number!"

Go for it.  Change your name and put it on your jersey.  It doesn't hurt anyone, and it's good for marketing.

I like Chad Johnson.  He's a fruitloop and show-off, but he's harmless.  It's attention, but it's not a lot of negative attention most of the time.  It's him acting like a goofball, but he takes the fines and people love it.

This is a more appropriate thread to use the world's biggest <  >.

Ocho Stinko.  What a clown. 

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Ocho is a good player who doesn't get in REAL trouble.  He is bit flashy, quite childish but he get a bad rap.  I would have no problem having him on my team.

this guy cracks me up....he is by FAR my favorite player in the league.  he is a comedic genius, and many years from now, there will be an awesome movie that is just a montage of his antics.

Ocho cinco means "eight, five" not eighty-five.  He is such a moron.  I looked this up:  eighty-five in Spanish translates to "ochenta y cinco".

People take him too seriously. He grew up in my neighborhood (Liberty City) and guys like him are a dime a dozen and are truly clowning and mean no harm.

And if you grew up in Liberty City amongst the poor, blighted run-down areas, you have to have a sense of humor just to come out of there or else, you get overwhelmed by it.

He's just doing a comedy routine, which the NFL really needs. I love the proposal celebration that he did a couple of years back. He's a throwback to some of those characters that the NFL had in the 70's before they cracked down on stuff (Alzado, Matusak, Billy "White Shoes" Johnson).

The NFL should allow decent celebrations. It's hard to get into the end zone so if a player wants to celebrate, that's fine. I miss all the touchdown celebrations they had in the old days. You don't want to be scored upon? Then play defense.

Chad's a whackjob...the NFL needs more like him and less T.O.'s.
