The Facts:
By the power vested in Broward County, Florida, Johnson's name is now legally "Chad Javon Ocho Cinco," in what he calls a reinvention of the Ocho gig. "Ocho Cinco 2.0," is what Johnson is calling it, but what the NFL is calling it remains to be seen.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson "changed," his name to Ocho Cinco for warmups before the game against the Falcons in 2006 and before Carson Palmer ripped off the nameplate to reveal C. Johnson. That was a violation of NFL uniform rules and he was reportedly fined $5,000. Now he's done it legally. According to the document from the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, the name change won't "invade the property rights of others, whether partnership, patent, good will, privacy, trademark, or otherwise." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an e-mail Friday that the league is looking into it.
