Chad Ochocinco to bring back his inner Johnson

((ht: aol.sportingnews.com))

Yeah, the headline drew you in...didn't it...

It appears Internet favorite but not necessarily Tom Brady's favorite wide receiver is changing his name...again.

And according to the folks at the Sporting News, its so he can get married.

If you remember the back story, then Chad Johnson changed his name to Ochocinco to note his jersey number (85), back in 2008 when he played for the Cincinnati Bengals.

And yes, we took Spanish in school. Senora . Rarey would be proud of this, to be truly 85, his name would've had to be Ocho y Cinco, the way the Spanish say it.

But that's another story.

Read what the Sporting News had to say RIGHT HERE

Most of you "Pop-Culture" folks know Chad, who we actually like and think is a pretty good dude, appears to be prepping to marry reality TV person Evelyn Lozada. And for that we say "Congrats". Sure, a lot of people are turned off saying he is a self-promoter and to an extent they wouldn't be wrong.

But we also know that Ocho, while in Cincinnati would often host movie nights at a local theater and pay for anyone who came with him. And he also hosted "Tweetup" dinners at various towns that he traveled to.

How can that be considered a "Bad guy"?

Ocho the football player had a rough 2011, signing a free-agent deal to play for the New England Patriots and struggling...mightily.

He may not be with the Patriots next season, but we wish him and his apparent new bride-to-be luck wherever they end up.
