GoBears 2008Sep 4, 2008

The NFL and the Bengals have agreed to let Chad Ocho Cinco (ne Johnson), to use his new legal name. How does this change his season outlook?

Week One at Baltimore

Ravens fans are temporarily confused when Chad is introduced, providing Cinco with a five-second respite from boos. The Ravens defense knows exactly who he is.

Week Three at New York Giants

Chad arrives in New York the day before the game and orders lunch:

Soup Guy: "No soup for you!!!"
Chad: "But I speak Spanish! Look, I even changed my name to Ocho Cinco!" (Chad shows back of his jersey)
Soup Guy: "Adios, muchacho!"

Week Five at Dallas

PacMan Jones riles Chad by telling the media "Chad Johnson? I'm not scared of him."

Throughout the first half, whenever Chad sees PacMan on the way back to huddle, he shouts, "WHAT'S MY NAME?" PacMan replies, "Chad Johnson!"

Early in the third quarter, Chad blows by PacMan on his way to the endzone. On his way off the field he again asks PacMan what Chad's name is. PacMan, knowing that he is beaten, replies "Chad Ocho Cinco."

After the game, T.O. announces he will change his name to "Ochenta Y Uno." "The 'Y' doesn't stand for anything," he explains. "Like Harry S Truman."

Week Six at New York Jets

Brett Favre, frustrated that the limelight due him has been stolen by Chad's rediculous name, tries to call himself "El Magnifico Numero Quatro." He is promptly sued by a Guatamalan Lucha Libre star.

After the game, Chad is invited to film an episode of a Spanish version of Sesame Street, featuring the numbers five and eight. However, the invitation is quickly canceled as it is revealed that 85 in Spanish is in fact not "ocho cinco."

Offseason:

Chad is traded to the Rams, a franchise that has retired the number 85. Ocho Seis quips: "It's not like I got a huge '85' tattoo or anything."
