Sunday Football Fever

About a week after legally changing his name from Chad Javon Johnson to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco, the Bengals have announced that they have started “the process of listing the former Chad Johnson as Chad Ocho Cinco for all club business, per the legal change of his surname effected in Florida. The list of appropriate changes will include Ocho Cinco wearing his new surname on the back of his jersey for Sunday’s season opener at Baltimore.”

I still think it’s all very funny…

Well, Chad Johnson has been hinting that he wanted out of Cincinnati for most of the offseason. Now he’s made it semi-official.

If I’m the Bengals, I let him go on draft day and here’s why:
1) He’s been a distraction all offseason and you can’t let that carry into the season. It makes life more difficult on the whole team. Plus, you don’t need a “cancer” in the locker room and that is what he’s become. He’s a toned down version of TO. Ask Donovan McNabb how fun it was to have TO cal him out for an entire offseason. Now Johnson is calling Carson Palmer out and that’s never good for team chemistry.
2) Wait until draft day and you can probably find a team in need of a receiver that would be willing to fork over a 2nd round (maybe even a 1st round) pick for him. Especially if there is a team that has targeted one of the college receivers with their top pick and that player is gone as their pick approaches.

Time for the Bengals and Ocho Cinco to part ways.
