That guy really loves himself. He seems like the kind of person that has giant portraits of himself all over his house.

That is so stupid, but it's funny!

Seems like every six or seven years there's a professional athlete so wrapped up in themselves that they're more concerned with their image in the public eye than with their performance on the field/court.

Sorry, Chad....er....Ocho Cinco....I'm not impressed. Shock value isn't what it used to be back in the day...

...Dennis Rodman....Jim McMahon....Mike Tyson....

I would laugh my ass off if he were traded somewhere and he couldn't use #85. LMAO

Ocho Cinco sounds like a dish you'd get at Chipotle or Chi-Chi's.

It's been a few years since I was in Spanish class but I'm pretty sure that "Ocho Cinco" isn't spanish for 85.

What a maroon.

You're right. "Ochenta y cinco" ("eighty and five") is correct for 85. At least that's the way I learned it back in junior high school; I've since learned that "ochenticinco" is also acceptable. Chad's name just translates to "eight five"!

85 Brain Cells That 85 Never Had...

I'd read that book lol- But seriously, how you going to change your name to something like that? It's probably worst then when stupid people name their kids after fruit or objects etc. Tisk Tisk.

In a related story, I have learned that President Bush has decided to change his name to "La Cucaracha"!
