Officially Ocho Cinco

Chad Johnson is no more. Long live Chad Ocho Cinco. The name change you all heard about, while being legally official when it was announced, is now officially official as the Cincinnati Bengals made the change on the roster and the depth chart.
They also have a release discussing Chad Eight Five’s new name:
“Effective today, the Bengals begin the process of listing the former Chad Johnson as Chad Ocho Cinco for all club business, per the legal change of his surname effected in Florida. The list of appropriate changes will include the player wearing the name Ocho Cinco on the back of his jersey for Sunday’s season opener at Baltimore.”
This also means those folks who bought Chad Johnson jerseys are now out of style and incorrect. Unfortunately, they haven’t updated the pro shop but the release indicated the new Ocho Cinco jerseys will be available this week.
I guess you could always send these now-defunct Chad Johnson jerseys to the same communities the NFL sends their incorrect Super Bowl t-shirts.

One thing you do not want to do is get rid of your best players — especially at the expense of troublemakers and attention seekers. [...]
