No. 85

I remember when NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson requested being traded from the Cincinnati Bengals a couple of seasons ago. He was also known as "Ocho Cinco" because of the number he wore on his jersey. It occurred to me that he would benefit if he had a say as to which team he was traded to because, after all, what if No. 85 was already taken by another player on that other team? He might even have to negate the trade. If, for example, he were traded to the 49ers, No. 85 was already being worn by Vernon Davis. I couldn't imagine that Vernon Davis would be willing to give up his jersey number for any new player, even Chad Johnson. I didn't know the rosters of other teams well enough, but No. 85 already being taken could have been a sticking point. And if it were already taken and he had to wear a different jersey, would he then be referred to as "Ocho Uno" or "Ocho Dos" for instance, depending on which number he had to use?

But then I thought, "Nahhh! This is ridiculous, Chad Johnson doesn't identify with the number 85 that much."
