CINCINNATI -- Oh-oh, Ocho. The Cincinnati Bengals' top receiver has yet another name.

The NFL had agreed to let the player formerly known as Chad Johnson wear his new name on the back of his jersey this season. There's one catch for the receiver: It's not exactly how he wanted it.

Instead of Ocho Cinco, he'll be "Ochocinco" because that's how he wrote it when he submitted his name-change form last August in Florida.

"It's his legal name," AFC information manager Corry Rush said Thursday.

The receiver said last year that he wanted his name to be "Ocho Cinco." Neither he nor his agent returned phone messages Thursday to discuss the name being one word instead of two. Shirts and other gear are selling on his Web site under the "Ocho Cinco" name.

I think the only reason he is still around is to keep the focus off the fresh group of criminals they brought in to play this year. Am I the only one that noticed the pure comedy of the Bungles signing Tank "I have been arrested for more felonies than Pacman" Johnson, Gary Russell (fresh from his being cut by the Steelers for being at a giant pot bust), and drafting a guy named Bernard Scott who comes into the league already having been arrested 5 times and was kicked off one college team for punching a coach?

The over/under on the arrests for this team this year has to be in the double digits.
