More than just the name thing. He talks alot of sh*t just about everyday. (remember his "who can cover #85" list in his locker? The HOF jacket? ) He needs to STFU and play, AND WIN SOMETHING. He's a buffoon.

I think he's a great personality in the No Fun League.

I think he was a great personality. Hes clearly crossed the line from a guy having fun, to someone who desperatly needs people to pay any kind of attention to him. Sad really.

If you dont think getting rid of your family name in order to self promote yourself is a POS move its no wonder you seem to be the only person in this forum still facinated by Chad Johnsons antics.


Many a athlete has done very well for themselves without getting rid of their family name.

What about other people? Madonna, Usher, Prince... are they stupid for getting rid of their family name?

Well now your talking celebrity "entertainers" . People that are fake and shallow by nature. Their job is to self promote. Thats how they make thier living. Last I checked Ocho Cinco is supposed to be a football player. And the name Ocho Cinco is just stupid as hell.


Really not that big a deal for me. I just think its rediculous. I wasted enough time typing on this subject. I guess I just think a little respect and dignity is more important than self promotion. If I was Ocho Cincos father I would be disgusted.


FYI- Prince's real name is Prince.

FYI, Prince went by The Artist Formerly Known By Prince or this symbol for a long time:

Chad comes in and puts up excellent numbers! He cant help it if he doesn't have a Brian Westbrook at rb. Don't get me wrong Rudi was good but somebody like Joseph Addai is better or Brian Westbrook as stated above. Plus, look at that defense. When you have Dwight Freeney Bob Sanders and Robert Mathis who is better than about all of the Bengals D. TJ only puts up good numbers because teams have to double Chad or suffer the consequences
