Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Johnson has reportedly official changed his last name. Usually change name because they want something more unique or need a new identity. However, the-wide-receiver-formerly-known-as-Johnson had odd motivation in changing his name. Believe it or not, his new surname is now “Ocho Cinco,” his jersey digits in Spanish. From the ESPN.com article…

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. After the season, coach Marvin Lewis — who dislikes Johnson’s attention-getting stunts — referred to the receiver as “Ocho Psycho.”

This is truly hilarious. The QB and coach didn’t like his attention getting scheme, so he legally changed his name so he could have that name on the back of his jersey! Insanity!

Also, what in the heck. Chad Johnson thinks he can swim faster than Michael Phelps? This guy is both hilarious and out of his mind.
