It was 10 years ago that Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco, and that last name was on his jersey.
The NFL apparently didn't have any problem with that. But a report this week from TVA Sports in Canada said the league has told Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif that he can't have "M.D" added to his jersey. In May, Duvernay-Tardif graduated from McGill University in Montreal and he earned a medical doctorate.
This news has not made NFL writers or fans happy.
