Standard and Poor's Corp said it iskeeping Crazy Eddie Inc's 81 mln dlrs of B-rated convertible
subordinated debt on creditwatch with negatives implications.
    The company's implied senior debt rating is BB-minus.

likely because of a rash of senior management resignations and
Chemical Bank's withdrawal of a 52 mln dlr credit line.

bids, one by founder and chairman Eddie Antar with First City
Capital Corp and a second for about 235 mln dlrs by
Entertainment Marketing Inc, S and P noted.
