Probably has something to do with the way he legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco.

But of course, since this is about the deranged Chad Johnson, we can’t really know what the fuck goes on in that mind of is. One thing’s for sure though, when he says he’s ready for the 2008-09 NFL football season, he is. And since he is one of the game’s top wide receivers, THAT is more then enough reason to worry, especially if you’re playing against the guy on opening day.

‘’Super extra focused'’ were the words Chad Johnson blurted out when talking to the media, asking him where he’s at after the drama that transpired between him and the Bengals in the offseason.

It was like only yesterday when Johnson wanted to be traded away from the Cincinnati Bengals. With merely days before the season officially begins, no.85 and the Bengals are like bread and butter once again.

The Cincinnati Bengals are scheduled to play one of the top defensive teams in football, the Baltimore Ravens, to begin the season. And since the Ravens defense can gut you like a fish if you’re not careful, the Bengals should be happy to know that Ocho Cinco will be there to possibly spread out that D a little bit.

BUT WAIT! Aside from the displeasure Chad Johnson had towards his team in the offseason, there’s still that one little thing Bengals fans should be worried about. Johnson still has that partially torn labrum in his left shoulder. Can he really carry the Bengals again with an injured shoulder?

‘’There’s nothing wrong with me, trust me,'’ Chad Johnson said. ‘’I mean, you’ll see it on Sunday. I can do everything. I can hit you with my left right now, but I’m not going to. I’m fine. I’ll give you a story after Sunday.'’

Ironically, the one that brought Chad Johnson back to sanity and be able to play again for a city like Cincinnati is Ray Lewis, the leader of that ridiculous defense the Bengals will be playing against at Baltimore.

Let’s hope Lewis doesn’t end up regretting bringing Ocho Cinco back.
