"Dennis Rodman used to play for the Bulls. Now he's running with them."

"The former Piston was among thousands who took part Wednesday in the first bull run of this year's San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain."

Many people were trampled; Rodman was not one of them.

``I wasn't afraid," Rodman said as he dined on ox tail stew at a cafe following the two-minute run. ``I like strong emotions."

``Running ahead of bulls is life, and I wanted to feel alive," said Sabbatini, Rodman's friend who ran with him who suffers from multiple sclerosis.

There were only four injuries that requires any help; a lot of it was due to the road being so slippery.

"The bulls originally were run through town to get them to the ring for bullfights held each afternoon of the festival. But over the years, it has become popular to run in front of the beasts."
