The Facts:
According to Miami radio station 790 The Ticket, which is in Johnson's hometown, the receiver has legally changed his last name to "Ocho Cinco." Johnson's -- sorry -- Ocho Cinco's reported name change has been rumored in NFL circles for weeks, and according to the station today, it's official.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Well. ... Johnson did forewarn the public that a major surprise was coming during a recent interview on ESPN's SportsCenter. "A lot of people look at Chad Johnson and say he's crazy and he does a lot of stuff, but I don't think people really understand how smart I really am," Johnson said. "So come Sept. 7, I believe when we play the Baltimore Ravens, I think that's the game, there's a surprise for everybody -- for everybody. When I say something, it is what it is, just enjoy it. Because it's going to last 16 weeks, plus some more. ..." If the report is correct he should be able to wear his nickname on the back of his jersey without penalty, which he's wanted to do for quite some time. Chad Ocho Cinco; more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
