+1 To both of these. As long as he keeps it off the field I think it's fantastic. It bothers me when players' antics mess up the game, but I think it's great otherwise. He's a grown man playing a game for a living, and he seems to grasp the absurdity of it all. It's obviously a lot of fun to him, so I say "more power to him." I wanted to be a pro athlete when I was a kid because sports were fun - I think it's cool that he isn't taking it too seriously.

If he's going to change his name, he should change it correctly. So that means eighty-five, not 8-5.

On a somewhat related note but unrelated to Ocho Cinco, there was a kid in my high school gym class who's name was Ben Dover. No joke, true story.

he knows that it does not mean 85 in japanese, just like Ocho Cinco does not mean 85 in spanish. I wish football would bring back endzone celebrations, the one thing I love about soccer (other than the blatant racism and hooliganism) is the great celebrations some do after scoring a goal. Have some fund for God's sake.

I've eaten at McDonalds on at least two occasions. There was an awful aftertaste of grease ... and each time I felt ill within a short period of time. I don't know how anyone could do this on a daily basis ... perhaps he as built up a tolerance.

You can do that with things like strychnine, too.

Given my limited experience with McD (other than once owning the stock) ... I'll take my chance with strychnine!

But McDonalds may be part of the answer to what's his name's -- oh 8 5's -- problem/s. Then again, he may simply be marsupialed.

Does he now? His actions certainly don't imply that understanding.

Ive heard some just refuse to say it and call him Chad Johnson, lol. Regardless, I think this guy is funny as hell.
