Chad Johnson officially out of the NFL

from the article:
"A lot of people look at Chad Johnson and say he's crazy and he does a lot of stuff, but I don't think people really understand how smart I really am," Johnson said.

:crazy:
 
I think we should all follow and change our lastnames to our screen names - yeah!....no....
 
This dude is an i-d-i-o-t. I hope he gets traded somewhere where there is another receiver that has his number and won't give it up. So he has to wear 86 or some other number with that name on his back. That would be perfect and make about as much sense as this moron does.
 
I don't know if he is crazy or just having fun but if he wanted to do it right and have his name roll off of people's tongues

He should have gone with
Chad Ocho de la cinco

I wonder if they are going to get Andres Cantor to broadcast a game or two (the guy in soccer that says goal for about 30 sec) LOL

:specnatz:
 
Whew! :whew Glad to hear it's just a name change...I just had my FF draft last night and thought I just wasted a 3rd round pick on him.

No way will I draft him, he is off my board, I have two drafts coming up on Monday and Tuesday, between the hurt shoulder and all the belly aching in the offseason he is poised to be a major letdown this season, no thanks.
 
I have him on 2 of my teams and the title of thread scared me. That's one crazy hombre. I gambled by picking him on one ffl team and he was assigned on the other ffl team.

A torn labrum isn't something that'll go away. I'd be surprised if he makes it to mid-season.
 
A few years ago I remember reading repeated postings from a number of people in here that said something to the effect of "Chad Johnson isn't like Terrell Owens. He's not a "cancer" or a bad guy. He's just having fun. There's nothing wrong with that."

Look at him now. It's like somebody built a copy of Owens and then at the last second dropped the brain and had to go with the "Abby-Normal" one sitting in the next jar. I wouldn't have Chad Ocho-Cinco on my team if he played for free. The guy (Just like Owens before him) is like a walking reminder that we are so lucky to have Andre Johnson on our team. Every time I see a story like I say under my breath "Thank you AJ for being normal".

I admit, I used to be one of those people, but I admitted I was wrong in the original CJ to change his name thread.

The guy's just a class clown now. Freakin Dufus!

Great and funny post, and completely accurate. I laugh every time I hear someone tell me that CJ isn't TO Junior.
 
I'm not fluent in Spanish, but doesn't "eighty-five" translate to "ochenta y cinco"? :confused:

So, he's changing his name to Chad Eight Five?

He's obviously trying to prove how intelligent he is:

A lot of people look at Chad Johnson and say he's crazy and he does a lot of stuff, but I don't think people really understand how smart I really am.

He said it. It must be true!
 
And from a parent stand point it is retarded ..

Son why did you get beat up at school, cause I defended you on changing your name to something retarded.

I'm pretty sure his kids will live...They'll be ok...
 
Actually, from a financial perspective it is pretty smart...

You are correct sir. There's an article in SI.com (that I am too lazy to link), but basically it opens the door to anyone change thier name from Joe Smith to Joe GoDaddy.com or Joe Toyota Tundra. He looks like a true @$$, but I seriously doubt CJ or COC cares what we think.

That would be great! Jesse Dread-Head...nah! Sounds too made up and I'd have to start referring to myself in 3rd person all the time.
 
Multi-name last names don't have to be hyphenated to be last names. See Jack Del Rio.

I'd rather see Delores Del Rio OHHHHHH!:thisbig: Thankyou ladies and gents you've been great! Don't forget to tip your waitresses. Drive safely! Good night!
 
this is like someone getting a Chuck Norris joke tattooed on their skull. funny for 10 seconds and now doomed for eternity with something so awfully unfunny when you're not drunk
 
I think I have him on two of my autopicked drafts...Dude is missing most of his brain cells. Anyone that thought incidents like Superbad and "McLovin" was just movie prank, look no further than Chad Ocho Cinco to see how stupid some people really are.

So what happens with old Johnson 85 jerseys? And I guess he is now going to sell a bazillion Ocho Cinco 85 jerseys.
 
everyone should call him ochenta y cinco. if your gonna co-opt a culture's language, don't make a mockery of the language, the league, your team, and yourself by being so damn ignorant. He has taken the Deion Sanders self-promotion thing to another level

jesus christ 2nd, he's not making a mockery of the language the words "ocho cinco" still mean something in the language it just doesn't mean what it supposed to mean in regards to his football number... & if the guy wants to change his name, who cares? it's just like gtexan said, he can always change it back.

& truthfully, it's guys like like him that help to keep the NFL as popular as it is. He's a fan favorite for a reason.
 
Great move Chad.

Who cares if other's think less of your ideas...

You only have one life to live...

Do you my Brutha!!!

I think it's entertaining, but nobody would care about his story if he sucked as a WR. At the end of the day, what makes the NFL popular is the product on the field. Good football is what brings people back year after year.

FWIW, my wife - not a big football fan - thought this story was hilarious. So yeah, there is probably an element of hardcore and casual fans that this kind of stuff appeals to. Myself...it's a bit of a cheese act, IMO. But it's all good. It's all entertainment at the end of the day. Can't take it too serious when it's all said and done. They win/lose, we watch.
 
Name changes are anything but permanent. If he gets bored with it, he can change it back.

Chad Johnson is making a comeback. Three years after changing his last name to Ochocinco, the man born Chad Javon Johnson will be going back to his given surname.

"I've done enough with Ochocinco," the former Mr. Johnson told ESPN's Trey Wingo. Yes, like having the least productive stretch of his career since the name change became official.

Ochocinco didn't elaborate on why he was making the change, but given that his return to Cincinnati is questionable, the logical explanation is that he wants a fresh start wherever he ends up. That means no silly name changes and probably no fighting with his coach, like he's currently doing now. (If Ochocinco does stay in Cincinnati, he'd have to pay for the unsold "Ochocinco" jerseys.)
