Obscure Scrabble words at work

With the official paperwork filed first with Broward County and then with the Bengals and the NFL, the an irritating Cincinnati wide receiver has official approval to wear "Ocho Cinco" as his name on the back of his jersey. I see this an opportunity to use one of those severely underutilized two letter Scrabble words and will henceforth refer to him as Chad Ocho Cinco né Johnson.

There are a couple of great comments on the ESPN articles hoping that Ocho Cinco né Johnson gets traded (as he demanded in the offseason) to the Rams, who have retired the number 85 for Hall of Famer Jack Youngblood.

I would prefer that one of his teammates, say T.J. Houshmandzadeh, changes his last to Ocho Cinco so that Ocho Cinco né Johnson would have to put "C. Ocho Cinco" on his jersey.

Hm, but if I could get Ocho Cinco né Johnson to sit down for a slice of za on a table made of aa cooled by an oe, no od could stop me from saying "um, uh, er, ay."

The strange thing is that Ocho Cinco ne Johnson has fewer letters than Dutch soccerist Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. Of course Ocho Cinco né Houshmandzadeh would have them both beat.
