Well, it has saved him from from continuing to get a flood of misdelivered and junk mail.
Lotta guys named Johnson out there, and some of them have even done nuttier stuff than he has, and have the sheriff's department looking for them.
The nice thing about the name change thing is that it doesn't appear to be catching on the way that the whole body tattoos have. I just love looking at a bunch of 250 pound walking hematomas.
We're going to get ol' Chad registered for the space program. He'll be guaranteed a ride into the great unknown. The launch code for his mission will be Up Uranus.

You don't like Chad, beaverboard? I think he is great for football. At least, someone knows it is a game.

I was perusing another baseball forum this morning when I was reminded of a classic game between the Mets and Reds in '86; Roger McDowell and Jesse Orosco both pitched twice in the game (they swapped positions in the outfield, each fielding too) and the Mets ended up winning 6-3.
