Chad Ochocinco talks a lot of trash but it’s usually just playful teasing on his part. And when he calls his shot- like a Lambeau Leap or a poncho and sombrero- he hits his mark more often than not. That’s why I’m counting on Ocho to be a man of his palabra and change his last name back to Johnson.
Chad told Bob Costas in an interview prior to the Bengals laying down for the Jets that he would go back to his given name if cornerback Darrelle Revis shut him down. Zero catches is about as shutdown as it gets.
Skip ahead to 2:40 to hear Ochocinco promising to change his name:

“If Revis shut me down I would change my name back to Johnson. That’s how confident I am in what I do.”
In Chad’s defense he did slip in pre-game warm-ups and injure his knee. Although initial reports said he was fine Chad now says he can’t extend his knee and he’s getting an MRI. Still, a promise is a promise. I expect to see Carson Palmer throwing to Chad Johnson on Saturday.
