Chad Johnson/Ochocinco considering another name change

[Questfor31]

The No Fun League Strikes again ... this dude is entertaining as hell.

Most people don't get it, the guy is just trying to make a statement at the NFL's expense.... I love that he matches the NFL's fines and sends the matching funds to charities. The twitter thing where he says he's seeing a movie and buys tickets for everyone who shows up... Buying a cheap fake Diamond earring on the HBO show Hard Knocks... Instead of some $20,000 dollar diamond like TO would buy. The guy makes fun of himself and he's totally making the No Fun League look like a bunch self important old stuffed shirts who don't realize that the game is not some sacred institution, but a game for fun...

I think it is pathetic that the league would give him a fine in the same neighborhood as Flozell Adam's fine.

Ocho is good fun, but the NFL has their image to protect at the same time. I don't have a problem with Ocho's harmless antics, nor do I have a problem with the NFL slapping fines on him.

agree with you but how high do these fines need to go? there should be a tipping point beacuse soon he'll be gettin fined $100k for bring some fun and some douche like flozell will be getting away with murder

[MTK]

Flozell isn't getting away with anything, he was just fined $50k and he could face a suspension for future offenses.

I like what Chad is doing. He's sending a message that the players are going to celebrate no matter what the fine. It's a passionate league. F what Goodell is doing....

We need more guys like TO and Chad as far as their celebrations.

this was his fourth and it's not for throwing footballs into the stands, i just think he should have been suspended this time, it was a cheap shot and could have hurt tuck

Yeah, they said that after the previous infraction too.

Johnson, Ochocinco, "Hachi Go"? Chad's next name change - Shutdown Corner - NFL Blog - Yahoo! Sports

According to someone who watches his broadcasts at UStream -- which I might do someday if my television is stolen, there are no books left in the world, the rest of the internet dies and a sniper is perched outside ready to kill me the second I leave my home -- Chad Ochocinco plans on changing his name again.

He made the announcement on Sunday morning before the game against the Lions. This time, the new name will be "Hachi Go," which is Japanese for "Eight Five." From Glenn S. Moore at The Dugout Sports Show:

"I'm not sure how Mr. Goodell is going to take it," Ochocinco said as he held up the jersey.

But why "Hachi Go"?

A Japanese film crew was in town a couple weeks ago to do a piece on the Bengals for a NFL show over there. They said all NFL fans in Japan know who Chad Ochocinco(notes) is and they seriously made a proposal to Chad to change his last name to "Hachi Go".

"Some fans of mine that are Japanese said I should change my last name to 'Hachi Go'."

Well, by all means, if someone suggested it, you should do it. Can I be in line next? The season after "Hachi Go," I think you should be "Chad Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia." It would mean "Chad Fear of Long Words," but really, I just want to see how it looks on a jersey.

That's true, I'm friends with both of them

I lived in Japan for a couple of years. You'd be surprised how many NFL fans are there, albeit generally casual and uneducated ones.

I've been here over three years and I can count on one hand the number of people I've met who even know that NFL is a different sport than rugby. You do realize that Japanese people tell you what they think you wanna hear right?

[mlmdub130]

maybe it's just me but i think this guy is hilairious

Yup, sometimes that is true. I also remember watching the playoffs at the houses of two different friends, which was not just telling me what I wanted to hear.
