Chad Johnson is back to his old name and back to his old attitude.

The veteran wide receiver, fresh off a marriage and changing his last name back to "Johnson" from "Ochocinco," drew plenty of laughs during his first news conference of the season with the Dolphins. One question Johnson was asked revolved around what he'd be doing if he wasn't playing football, and he revealed that he'd get a rather interesting second job.

"I was thinking about going into porn," Johnson said, which drew laughter from the reporters in attendance.

"It's not funny," he followed up with a straight face. "I got to earn a living. I mean I'm serious; that's what I would do. I don't have a choice."

How would Johnson's new wife feel about this? Well, apparently she doesn't have a choice, either.

"I have to provide," Johnson said.

The Dolphins are hoping Johnson provides them with more productivity than he provided the Patriots with last season. Either way, though, he's already providing his usual entertainment value.
