I just called the Broward County (Fla.) Court Clerk and Chad Johnson is no longer.
Officially, legally, yesterday, his name was changed to Chad Ocho Cinco.
Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said the team has no announcement or response to the reports that the receiver has legally changed his name.
In 2006 Johnson was fined for wearing an "Ocho Cinco" nameplate on the back of his jersey for pregame warm-ups. He wore "Johnson" on the back of his jersey for the game.
Now, presumably, he would be able to wear Ocho Cinco on the back of his jersey and the Bengals could sell them.
Bengals.com hasn't made the switch yet, and there's nothing in the Cincinnati newspapers. But Wikipedia has come through as they so often do, and made the switch!
