Ocho Cinco es El Stinko

If you have wide receiver Chad Johnson (aka Chad Ochocinco) in your fantasy league, our condolences go out to you. Chances are, based on his production for the Bengals so far this year, you picked him way too soon.

But who could blame you, right? After all, the guy went to the trouble of legally changing his name during the preseason. You'd think he'd be primed to back up his obvious attention grab with a big season. But that's been far from the case so far. Through three games, Ochocinco has just 88 total yards receiving and not a single touchdown.

Granted, the Bengals entire offense is struggling, especially their line. As an athlete, though, part of the problem with drawing attention toward yourself as an individual is that when you suck as voraciously as Johnson has this year, your failure is magnified. One has to wonder, as well, where your committment lies; with your team or with your desire to shock people or make them laugh.

So, Ocho, if it's attention you want, you've got it. Too bad it's not the type of attention, though, that's going to help you sell all those leftover Chad Johnson jerseys.
