Eight is too much

Since I know you never get tired of the antics of Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson...and since the Bengals play the Ravens in the season opener at M&T Bank Stadium, I thought you'd enjoy this:

There's a blog item circulating through cyberspace that Johnson -- who has been fined as much as $5,000 for putting his nickname, "Ocho Cinco," on the back of his jersey -- is taking steps to change his name legally to Chad Ocho Cinco so the NFL cannot keep him from wearing his preferred moniker on his back.

Sounds like a pretty good idea. Reminds me of the time I considered doing the same thing because of my penchant for putting up a snowman (for you non-golfers, that would be an 8) on every Par 5. Fortunately, somebody talked me out of it or I might now be known as Ocho Schmucko.
