Ocho Cinco: A real zero

He did it. I can’t believe he actually did it. The football player formerly known as Chad Johnson is now legally referred to as Chad Ocho Cinco. Chad has gone from a funny, entertaining wide receiver to an egomaniacal diva in just a matter of one season.

The transformation is really amazing when you think about it. I’ve never, ever cared about where the Bengals finished a season, but now I’m whole heartedly rooting against them. I hope they don’t win a game. It’s nothing against the team; I just want Ocho Cinco to look even more ridiculous than he already does. Although at this point I’m not even sure that’s possible.

Chad needs guidance or quite possibly professional help. What if the Bengals were to trade him to the Detroit Lions or the St. Louis Rams? They’ve both retired the number 85. I’d love for him to have to go through the trouble of changing his name all over again. For now, we’re stuck with Ocho Cinco. He made his debut under his new surname this past weekend and had a less than stellar outing: one reception for 22 yards. That’s not exactly the kind of performance you would expect from someone who had the nerve to change his government name to numbers. I’m sure Ocho Cinco won’t have too many games like that one, but I sure hope he does.

Chad changing his name shouldn’t bother me as much as it does, but I can’t help it. It’s just so unbelievably ridiculous.

On a more positive note, the Falcons looked really good against the Detroit Lions. It’s only one game, but Falcons fans have to feel a little bit better about the team. If Matt Ryan and Michael Turner (who rushed for over 200 yards) can play that well all season long, they might not be so bad.
