Scariest Looking Chicago Athletes

In honor of Halloween, I'm going to post pictures of the scariest looking Chicago Athletes I can think of. This is current and all-time. If you guys can think of any other better ones link me to the picture and I'll include it. Cue scary music.

Dennis Rodman Wants To "Rock And Fucking Roll"

Here's a little video of Dennis Rodman. This made me laugh out loud. Not only does he ask a girl about her new fake breasts, but he swears, gets a lapdance, and in general acts like a drunken idiot. I have no idea what "Pangea" is that he keeps trying to promote, but I can tell you this: D-Rod's still got it.

Phil Jackson Coached Many Great Players; Greatest? Dennis Rodman Of Course

Phil Jackson received an honorary degree from the University of North Dakota and while giving his speech, he touched on some interesting topics. The most interesting of which was answering the question of who the greatest player he ever coached was. According to Lakers Blog, his answer was a little mystifying:

“He could probably play a 48-minute game and play the 48th minute stronger than the first minute of the game,” Jackson told the crowd at UND. “He was that terrific an athlete.”

Jackson credited Madonna for helping Rodman overcome his “shy” personality.

“Madonna saw what was in there and wanted him . . . to do what she does: be outrageous, and kind of talked him into opening up his character,” Jackson said. “And Dennis didn’t know how many ways he could open up his character.”

No, not MJ. Not Pipp. Not Kobe. Not Shaq. Not Fisher, Fox, Harper, Malone, Cartwright, Armstrong, Paxson or Smush Parker. Dennis Rodman was his guy. Sometimes Phil likes to joke around with reporters, but this one seems legitimate. And Madonna was good for him? I wonder what kind of crazy acid he was tripping on when he gave this speech (or pretty much while he has done anything in the last 40 years).
