Former NBA bad boy Dennis Rodman was sentenced yesterday to three years probation for spousal battery and will spend at least 45 days bagging trash on the streets when he's not at counseling appointments.

It could have been worse. Rodman originally was charged with brandishing a deadly weapon and trying to dissuade a witness — his girlfriend — but those charges were dropped as part of a plea bargain.

When he was arrested he blamed stress from his divorce.

Are you kidding us? He has a documented history of domestic violence and he is blaming one of his victims?

We have no sympathy for this guy. Or for any man who beats up on women.  We think he should have to pick up the trash wearing panties and a bra while all of the women he has harmed drive by and wave guns in his face.

(Maybe that's why they've never asked us to be a judge.)
