Talk:Chad Johnson

message: It says "Chad Javon Ochocinco is an American football wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League." I think it should be edited to say "Chad Javon Ochocinco is an American football wide receiver and occasional kicker for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League." He did kick in a 2009 preseason game, and I'm sure he will sometime again if the kicker for Cincinnati gets hurt.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.177.190.9 (talk) 06:33, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Jim McMahon occasionally caught a pass for the Bears, but he's only listed as a quarterback. Larry Biittner once pitched an inning for the Cubs, but he's only listed as outfield/first base. And those were in regular season games. If 85 kicked in a preseason game, that doesn't really count. Is he listed as an alternate kicker on the official team roster? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 06:40, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: In a Yahoo! Sports article, Chad Ochocinco promised to change his surname back to Johnson if he was shut out by Darrelle Revis. The website is here , but I will post the paragraph that has this quoted.
"And then, of course, there was Chad Ochocinco, who promised to change his surname back to “Johnson” if Revis shut him down. Two matchups later, the man soon to be formerly known as Ochocinco had collected a pitiful 28 yards in one game, and had his 120-game catch streak broken in the other."
The Bengals just lost to the Jets last week, so he may change his name to Hachi Go, or he may just ignore what he said. User:Six-thirty-three  —Preceding undated comment added 15:59, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I know this is a minor issue, but I have noticed an issue with many editors changing the word "soccer" in the section chronicling Chad Ochocinco's recent tryout to "football". This is confusing to readers and not in compliance with WP:ENGVAR, which states that articles with strong national ties use that nation's version of English and colloquialisms. I would like to politely ask editors who have considered this change to please consult the guidelines and keep consistency throughout the article by not changing the wording.

message: Johnson is under contract to play (or has signed to play for the Montreal Alouettes; currently he has not played for the team in a game.

He hasn't played a single snap in any game."

message: Just wanted to get a feel for this -- is it trivial or nontrivial that Mr. Johnson witnessed the FBI's arrest of his neighbor, Roger Stone? Given that Johnson has commented upon the subject repeatedly, and numerous national and state news outlets picked up the story (including retrospectives a year after the event), I'm inclined to include it as a noteworthy part of Johnson's biography -- but clearly my opinions are not universal. It appears that the account "User:Roger roger 6am," who has not made any edits since 2019, attempted to add the event to the page when it happened and the text was removed within the day by User:Dermato1.
