Cincinnati Bengal wide reciever Chad Johnson has legally changed his name to "Ocho Cinco," to reflect the number on his jersey. But his jersey won't reflect the name change, at least not for now. Reebok says the jerseys have already been made with "C. Johnson" printed on the back, but that should Senor Cinco opt to purchase the stock of smocks (it'd cost him about $4 million). It may take a level of narcissistic knuckleheadedness even beyond the out-stretched reach of rival reciever (and egomaniac) Terrell "I Love Me Some Me!" Owens of the Dallas Cowboys to write that check. Ironically, Sports Illustrated has picked Cinco's Bengals to finish not ocho-cinco, but rather a sad cinco-and-ocho to capture last place in the AFC North. No word whether Reebok plans to compliment any future name change on the jersey with a change to the number to "1" to reflect the number of people to whom any of this nonsense matters. Go Joe Flacco!
