We aren’t prepared to say that the NBA’s former “Bad Boy” Dennis Rodman has toned down his act. He is, after all, hosting “Geek to Freak,” a new weekly reality show that airs Fridays on HDNet. And the premise of the show is for the former Bulls forward–and cross-dresser and wrestler and party animal–to teach nerds how to be strange like him.
But get this: Rodman is now a soccer dad. That’s right–a soccer dad. He regularly takes his 5-year-old son D.J. and 4-year-old daughter Trinity to practice in his Newport Beach, Calif., neighborhood.
“I was just at a soccer game for the kids,” Rodman told Armour & Co. when we caught up with him a few days ago. “I walked onto the field and people said, `Dennis, what are you doing here–do you have any kids here?'”

The flamboyant Rodman, 45, tells us that’s just the way life is for the Worm these days.
“I can be a family man every once in a while,” said Rodman, whose oldest daughter Alexis is now in college. “I do have responsibilities in my life. Everything is cool.”
Yeah, until something breaks out at the next PTA meeting.
