The question still remains on whether wide receiver Chad Ochocinco will remain with the Cincinnati Bengals after next season but one thing the baller does know is that he's finished with the "Ochocinco" thing."I'm changing my name back to Johnson," Ochocinco told Trey Wingo on NFL Live. ""I don't have a choice right now. I've done enough with the Ocho thing."
Back in 2006, the wide out made name patches with "Ocho Cinco" on them to put on his jerseys. He wore them around in pre-game warm-ups but was not allowed to wear them in-game. To combat that, he legally changed his name to Chad Ochocinco before the 2008 season so he could officially wear the name on his jerseys in game. Of course, "Ocho Cinco" is Spanish for eight-five, an allusion to his jersey number. Check out his announcement, along with a discussion of the future of the Bengals here:
