Oh, Dennis Would Never Try Something Like That

It is quite disturbing, Mr. Plaschke, that you have taken it upon yourself to call for the Lakers to essentially fire Dennis Rodman. Your campaign against him is with little apparent reason other than the fact that you don’t like him.

To suggest that Dennis Rodman is missing games for marketing purposes is absurd at least. In fact, it appears that you are using your column space to wage a personal war against Mr. Rodman. Is it you that really is trying to play the public for suckers?
