Chad is going to change his last name to. (1 Viewer)

Ive never seen a guy get so much mileage from playing on such bad/mediocre teams. I know the guy catches plenty of balls, but he's had 10TDs ONCE in his 7 seasons, and been a part of ONE winning team. Imo, its all about scoring TDs and winning games. His team doesnt win enough, and he's averaged 7 scores/season in the NFL. Certainly decent #s, and again, obviously he puts up yardage, but Im not overly impressed with garbage stats produced by loudmouthed wideouts on teams that dont play defense. He's been in the league 7 years and hasnt yet produced 50TDs? With all that mouth? Ocho's a funny guy, obviously. We can all appreciate that. But the HOF jacket, the embarassing, non-stop offseason antics to get himself traded or released, and the name change? Im sorry. If that's a standup act, its getting booed off the stage mercilessly. But to simplify, you score 12 or 13 TDs on more than a couple of occasions, Ill not only laugh at your jokes, but Ill also take you seriously when the time comes. You score 10 times once after 7 years and talk like that, Im only gonna laugh.
Twitch, I usually like your perspective, but not liking what Chad is saying because he hasn't scored enough TD's or his TEAM is not good enough is a little weak. the guy is a clear top receiver in the league and what he says is either funny or it is not; but it should not have anything to do with his or his teams performance being better than it presently is.I have Chad on all my teams (I like to try and get the same players if I can), but I think his shtick is tiring to me. In this case, it may be fun, but most of the other stuff I could do without.
 
Chad,Shut up and play football.Sincerely,Everyone
Please don't speak for me and everyone else. I love the Chad. I wonder what is wrong with people who don't love the Chad. How can anyone not love the Chad is beyond me. The Chad is funny and the most entertaining player in the league.
 
Why the hell not?
do you realize how stupid he's going to look when he's going by Ocho Cinco 10 years after he's no longer in the public eye?
Why wouldn't he change it back after he retires?
Great point, I'm sure he will change it back and I'd put it at 100% he'll change it back once children are on the way. Chad ain't dumb, he wants us talking about him, what is going on, Chad Chad Chad all the time! :unsure:

Is he supposed to play defense too?The guy is a very good WR...but Leon Chad can't do everything.

 
Hilarious! They wouldnt let me have Ocho Cinco on my semi-pro team cause of NFL rules... Its freaking semi-pro football.

Youre exactly right, Sho. He's very good. With all that limitless smack, you'd just think he's a 1st ballot HOFer, when in reality he'll never sniff that place. He's fun. Its just old.
 
good for chad, I hope he gets to do it with out the No Fun League doing what they do best.
Yup, Chad changing his name is allot of fun for me. I feel sorry for the suckers who fall for this and buy the new jersey. "A fool and his money are soon parted"
 
I wonder if how it is stated means the NFL could say he only gets "Cinco" on his back (unless there were a hyphen).

Now THAT would be funny.

 
this blurb would've won the fake daily FBG Daily Email contest easily

too funny to be fiction

"A fool and his money were lucky enough to get together in the first place"I don't think Chad will actually do this.. he just loves us all talking about him.. He's probably pissed it's not a top story on ESPN.
 
meh. let him do what he wants, it's his name.

some people think he's entertaining. i happen to be one of the ones who dont.

this is his way to get back the spotlight, since TJ is now considered by many, as the #1 WR on that team.

 
This is the reason I will not draft him....unless it is in the 6th or 7th round...
Please tell me you are being sarcastic here.
I wonder about posts like that. There have been more of them this year than ever, about unwillingness to draft certain players for some (real or imagined) character "infraction". I understand not drafting someone if they're suspended half a season, sure. But because someone ticks you off? It's pretty nonsensical to pass up a more productive player while drafting and draft a less productive one. I certainly hope lots of people do it, though. Be outraged. Take a stand. Let a good player drop to me. :rant:

The best part is that Ocho Cinco doesn't even spell the number 85. But that's probably the Ebonics version of his number, so it's just as well.
Why bring that up, seriously? :thumbdown:
Is his number Eight Five, or Eighty Five? If it's Eighty Five, then Eight Five is the Ebonics spelling. That's why, seriously.The fact that he legally changed his name to represent his jersey number, and then spelled his own name wrong is pretty funny.

A lot of things he does are funny, but in this instance i just don't get how it's funny. It's more straight up weird then funny.

 
actually, my favorite is when the sideline reporter (in this latest pre-season game) asked him how he was feeling.. .he said, "about 85%"dude is just too funny... would be another thing if he didn't perform, but he always does.
:goodposting:frankly the bengals probably welcome a little shine away from the police blotter.

well ochenta y cinco is just too many letters
 
Seriously, though. This dude cracks me up.

I'd stalk him if I was a chick.......................

What the heck, I'll stalk him anyways.

 
Chad Johnson says he could beat Michael Phelps

"The problem with Michael Phelps is there's no competition where he is," Johnson said. "Now if he came to where I'm from, which is the inner city, Liberty City (in Miami), I was the three-time Charles Hadley Pool champ." When co-hosts Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon chuckled, Johnson said, "Don't laugh. ... I know a couple people who could beat Michael Phelps right now. Seriously, I'm telling you. And I'm one of them."
:lmao:

Another is Chuck Norris.

:wall: on the Leon reference...I hope he is back for more this yearThere ain't no we in team

 
Somebody needs to setup a swimming race between Chad and Phelps. That would be a goldmine!

Love Chad, but my money is on Phelps

LOLChad does make himself look stupid though saying he could beat Michael Phelps. Even if Chad were given 6 months to train, I say he has no shot

Now THAT would be funny.
It would be funny but he'd be able to do it. There's already precedence for having two names on the back like Van Horne and Randle El. Unless CJ is an idiot (which i think he already is) and officially changes his last name to Cinco and Ocho to his middle name.
 
If this happens, do we really start to call him COC?

And does this also mean that Calvin Johnson can just be CJ instead of CJ2?

 
I don't see what the big deal is. The guy seems to want more money from jersey sales, which this move will surely make happen. Or maybe he just wants more publicity, which will also probably lead to more $$ at the end of the day. How can you knock a man for coming up with a legal, creative and non-obscene/offensive (i.e. Rodman wanting to wear #69) way of marketing himself?

If that came from certain players it might rub me the wrong way. But when Chad says nonsense like this is just makes me chuckle.He's a very good player. He plays hard. As long as these stunts/comments don't interfere with his performance then what's the problem?

Some of you guys who want him to shut up and be more serious - get over it. It's football. We seriously need some perspective about this GAME.

And besides, maybe Chad is able to focus better if he blows off some steam via jokes. Personally, I'm one of the biggest goofballs at my workplace. I tried forcing myself to be a lot more serious when I first started in the company but that's just not me. I started performing a lot better once I started letting the laughs fly. I'm a hard worker and a good employee but I'm a clown through and through. If I had to go back to being so damned serious all the time I'd go insane.

The bottom line is he's one of the best wr's in the game. He thinks he's better than he is but since when are we surprised to see elite athletes with an ego?

Just when I thought I was out... he's pulls me back in.

For Chad's sake, I hope his career has a better ending than The Godfather: Part III.
