Chad Johnson No More

Chad Johnson, star wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals has officially released the news that he has legally changed his name. "It's something I don't think anyone has ever done before," said a proud Chad in front of his locker in a shoulder harness. "I mean, to change your name, it's unpresidented, isn't it?"

His new full name? Chad Javon Ocho Cinco Ima Dumas. When asked why he also added 'Ima Dumas' to the name, he told the story of how his coach, Marvin Lewis, told him he should add that to the end of 'Ocho Cinco' if he was actually going to go through with it. "It had a really nice ring to it, kind of french like, so I thought, 'what the heck'? It's been great, people have really taken a shine to it. Now, people have this huge grin on their face when they say my full name, almost like they're going to bust out laughing."

"But Chad, why do this legally? What's the point?" I asked, trying to understand.

"What's the point?" Chad repeated with a blank stare on his face, pausing for several seconds and looking off into the distance.

Shrugging after a few minutes, he said, "Why is trampoline an olympic event?"
"Seriously though, I could have gotten the gold, silver and copper in that event if I'd gone. I know a bunch of guys in my neighborhood that would blow those skinny little chicks away on the trampoline."

"Ok CJOCID...thanks for the time," I told him.
