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.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.
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.Chad,Shut up and play football.Sincerely,Everyone
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!Why wouldn't he change it back after he retires?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 the hell not?
Is he supposed to play defense too?The guy is a very good WR...but Leon Chad can't do everything.Ive never seen a guy get so much mileage from playing on such bad/mediocre teams.

Please tell me you are being sarcastic here.This is the reason I will not draft him....unless it is in the 6th or 7th round...
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.

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"good for chad, I hope he gets to do it with out the No Fun League doing what they do best.
"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.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.

How is that not funny?Gotta love the guy.
I'm a Steelers fan and I love this guy. Love him.
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.Please tell me you are being sarcastic here.This is the reason I will not draft him....unless it is in the 6th or 7th round...
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.Chachi said:Why bring that up, seriously?PatsFanCT said: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.![]()

Perhaps there's something different about this scenario that makes it funny. I can't figure out what it is though. Just some guy changing his name, and there's nothing funny about name changes.How is this funny, thousands of people change their names everyday?[icon] said:How is that not funny?Gotta love the guy.Some of you codgers need to lighten up

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.
well ochenta y cinco is just too many lettersIs his number Eight Five, or Eighty Five? If it's Eighty Five, then Eight Five is the Ebonics spelling.

"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."
Another is Chuck Norris.Chad Johnson says he could beat Michael Phelps

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.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.
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?fatness said:Chad Johnson says he could beat Michael Phelps
