What is wrong with him?

CINCINNATI -- Maybe receiver Chad Johnson can go by the name that his head coach hates.

Johnson

The Cincinnati Bengals receiver has legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco in Broward County, Fla., a switch that became official this week. Johnson, who lives in Miami, didn't return a message left on his cell phone Friday night.
"It's something I don't think anyone has ever done before," he told the team's Web site. "Have I ever had a reason for why I do what I do? I'm having fun."
Two years ago, Johnson gave himself the moniker -- a reference in Spanish to his No. 85 -- and put it on the back of his uniform before a game. Quarterback Carson Palmer ripped it off before the kickoff. After the season, coach Marvin Lewis -- who dislikes Johnson's attention-getting stunts -- referred to the receiver as "Ocho Psycho."
Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the Bengals had no comment on the matter.
Johnson has been a concern for the Bengals this season. He unsuccessfully lobbied for a trade in the offseason, threatening to sit out if he didn't get his way. When the Bengals refused, he relented and showed up for minicamp, but complained that his right ankle was bothering him.
He had bone spurs removed from the ankle and was limited at the start of training camp. In the second preseason game, he landed awkwardly and temporarily dislocated his left shoulder. Johnson is wearing a harness and expects to play in the season opener against Baltimore.

He's turned into another T.O. He's a complete moron. What a slap in the face to his family to find out there son changed his given name.....to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco.

I think the team should put "Ocho Psycho" on his jersey. What an idiot.

Ocho and Marvin: Under One Roof! The Water Episode

In an effort to regain control of his team, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis decides to take the drastic step of bringing volatile wideout Chad Johnson into his home, in a spirited attempt to get both men to understand one another better.

Marvin: Okay Chad, here’s your room.

Ocho: Got it, got it. Thanks, coach.
Marvin: Bathroom’s down the hall. The kids are in bed around nine or so, so try and keep noise to a minimum after that.
Ocho: I hear ya. No problem at all. Listen, coach, I have to wash my hands. Is there a bathroom I can use?

Marvin: Oh yeah, almost forgot: my contractor is here today to replace some of our piping. The water in the house was shut off for the morning. Here.

Marvin: Just use this to wash your hands.
Ocho: That? No, no, no. I can’t use that. That’s drankin’ water. I can’t use that.
Marvin: What are you talking about? It’s water. It’s the same. You can drink it, bathe with it, water plants with it, whatever.
Ocho: No, it’s not. This water is specifically for DRANKIN’. I can’t use drankin’ water on my hands. It’s dangerous. I need sink water.
Marvin: But… you CAN use it. It’s not dangerous at all. They’re both just water.
Ocho: No, there are different kinds of water.
Marvin: No, there aren’t. All water is the same.
Ocho: No, it isn’t.
Marvin: Yes, it is.
Ocho: No, it isn’t.
Marvin: Yes, it is.
Ocho: Then how come they tell you not to drank the water that’s in the ocean?
Marvin: That’s seawater. It has salt in it.
Ocho: EXACTLY. That’s a different kind of water. Like drankin’ water.
Marvin: No, no. That isn’t how it works. All water is THE SAME, Chad. It’s the same base molecule, H2O. Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen.
Ocho: The fuck you talking about? There’s no oxygen in water. That’s the air.
Marvin: No, you don’t understand. At the molecular level, all water is the same: H2O.
Ocho: Like “Halloween: H2O”?
Marvin: NO! Listen to me. Water is all the same, but then other things can be dissolved into it, like minerals, or flavorings, or salt…
Ocho: Why would I add salt to water if it makes it taste so bad?
Marvin: You wouldn’t. That just happens naturally in the oceans.
Ocho: Then, if it naturally has salt in it, then it’s NATURALLY a different kind of water, just like Vitamin Water…
Marvin: Again, that’s not water. That’s a sweetened beverage.
Ocho: Or Fire Water…
Marvin: That’s a liqueur.
Ocho: Or Waterworld…
Marvin: That’s a motion picture starring Kevin Costner and Jeanne Tripplehorn. None of those things are water. Not Waterworld, or Vitamin Water…
Ocho: Then why does it say WATER on the goddamn bottle?
Marvin: Because that’s a brand name. Just because you CALL something water doesn’t make it water.
Ocho: What about Brian Waters? He seems very watery. Always dripping.
Marvin: No, no. Brian Waters is an offensive lineman. Not a kind of water. Water is an INGREDIENT in Vitamin Water, and even in people, but that doesn’t make either one ALL water. They have other stuff in them.
Ocho: Okay then, let me ask you this: Would you wash your hands with Vitamin Water?
Marvin: No, you can’t wash your hands with Vitamin Water.
Ocho: See? I rest my case. THAT is why I can’t use the drankin’ water for my hands.
Marvin: HOLY SHIT. ARE YOU THE DENSEST PERSON ON THE FACE OF THE FUCKING EARTH?! FRESH, CLEAR FUCKING WATER IS SAFE TO DRINK AND TO WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS WITH. WHAT FUCKING BYZANTINE LABYRINTH OF BREATHTAKINGLY FUCKHEADED LOGIC CAUSED YOU TO DEDUCE THAT YOU CAN’T WASH YOUR HANDS WITH A GODDAMN SPLASH OF AQUAFINA, YOU DROOLING FUCKING MORON?
Ocho: Hmm… I’m still not convinced about this, man. I think I should probably call Ray Lewis. He can settle this.
Marvin: No, no. You want proper sink water? FINE. I’ll go over to the neighbors and get some for you. I’ll back down on this juuust for you. Okay? That’s the kind of effort I’m gonna try and make, so we can co-exist, EVEN THOUGH YOU LACK THE BASIC, RUDIMENTARY FUCKING UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT COMPRISES WATER AND WHAT DOES NOT.
(leaves, comes back with bowl full of water)
Here. Here’s some sink water.
Ocho: That’s not sink water. That’s in a bowl. That’s dog water. I can’t wash my hands in dog water.
Marvin: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

He is a jackass. And T.O is no where near as bad as him, and never has been.

Chad JOHNSON is in a league of his own. I would love to see the bengals or NFL force a number change on him! HAHA!
