Ocho Cinco

Carson Palmer won't be able to do this anymore, I guess?

I promise not to rant too much about football, but this is just dumb. Chad Johnson, the wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco. Wow. Why the hell would you do that? Does he even know any Spanish? Is this just a bastardization of a language because Johnson thinks he's special? I've given him the benefit of the doubt over the summer over his issues with the team, but this just takes the cake. I know he put it on his uniform a couple years ago, and for all I care, it can remain a nickname. But this is ridiculous.

So, when does Jonathan Papelbon legally change his name to Cinco Ocho? See I had a baseball connection. And you doubted me.
