what do you think?

Answer 1

It's good harmless fun, some people are going to take it to seriously.  

Answer 2

I personally love it, and think it's not a big deal.  Of course, if he plays poorly the media will be on him for no focusing or whatever instead of having an injured shoulder.

Answer 3

I wonder if he knows his spanish is a bit off.

Ocho Cinco translates into "8-5" and not "Eighty-Five", which is what he probably meant (he always refers to himself in that context and not "8-5")

Answer 4

I think it is stupid, but then again that is just my opinion.  

Answer 5

Chad will use every means necessary to continue to gain attention.  He craves it.  By the looks of the responses to his name change, he continues to be successful.

His job mission is to help his team win.  He is failing in that responsibility.

Answer 6

For me, it just reminds me how annoying that guy is.  I agree that the NFL's too strict and ruins some of the fun, but this is just a lame way to get more press.  Which apparently has worked considering all the questions about this retarded subject.
