BAD BOY, BAD BOY, WATHCHA GOIN' DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU

          The Bulls suspended Dennis Rodman after his "profanity-
     laced tirade" following his ejection from the Raptors-Bulls
     game Sunday, according to Terry Armour of the CHICAGO
     TRIBUNE.  The suspension will cost Rodman $104,878 and as a
     result, the NBA will not fine or suspend Rodman.  Rodman: "I
     apologize to all the people and the kids who heard all that. 
     It was uncalled for.  I apologize to the people it was
     directed to.  I just want it stated that it was done in the
     heat of battle, and I made a mistake" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE,
     12/11).  In Chicago, Bernie Lincicome writes: "Will this get
     worse?  Oh, probably so.  It always has everywhere Rodman
     has been.  He never should have been hired.  He never should
     have been rehired.  And the Bulls deserve whatever misery he
     brings" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 12/11).
