Dennis explained his act in typical fashion. "The refs watch me instead of the game," he complained, "Since it was me, I get picked on. Every damn game, I'm the guinea pig. Why am I so different from the rest of the league?" Good question, Dennis. How does he stand out from a group of ten NBA players? Is it his superior technique or maybe his height? Perhaps his history of histrionics during games warrants some close scrutiny by officials? Or do you suppose there's any chance it's that GREEN HAIR???!!! This is a guy who changes his hair color as often as the rest of us change our underwear. The referee Dennis head-butted wouldn't have minded except that he can't get those orange and pink stains off his forehead. It gets so boring watching the Bulls win all the time that the only action is in betting what color Dennis' hair will be during the next game.
Actually, Dennis isn't a whole lot different than a large batch of other millionaire athletes who think they are exempt from the rules that we lowly thousand-aires and hundred-aires have to follow. If any of us had head-butted someone at work, especially an authority figure, there would be no mention of fines or suspensions. We'd be foot-butted out the door, post haste. So don't come looking for our sympathy, Dennis. Pay your fine, shut your mouth, and play the game you've been blessed with the ability to play.
