What does "overcooked it" mean??

[ClearCase_guy]

It seems to me that he markets himself relentlessly. Then complains about it.

[Poser]

Hmm... Someting about being an A-hole comes to mind here.

[sgtbono2002]

He can go back to skiing for the fun of it any time he likes.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Better lay of that Jack Daniels on the slopes, Bode.

[Hank Rearden]

Never heard of this bozo.

Don't think I need to.

[Texas_Jarhead]

It's the public that corrupts sports and its the public that causes athletes to take drugs... Yea whatever

[SJSAMPLE]

His mouth wrote checks his butt couldn't cover.
Boo-frickin-hoo.

"Fame is like a poison. I don't care for it. I used to have a better life when I was nobody."

Tic, Tic, Tic, very soon to be a nobody again.

[TravisBickle]

Here's a good idea for Bode.

Drop out of the Olympics, cancel all your endorsement deals, and just ski for fun.

[End Times Sentinel]

the media and the public corrupt it because of the pressure they create

Imagine how tough it would be if anybody actually knew who he was.

 it was probably sarcasm)

Then stop marketing yourself at every opportunity. Fame comes with a price. Is there anyone left on planet earth who doesn't realize that? He was more than happy to cash the endorsement checks when given the opportunity. Fame was fun then, wasn't it.

[bourbon]

Dear Bode: You are free to quit skiing and work at McDonald's anytime.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

American skiing ace Bode Miller says he can understand why some athletes turn to drugs in their quest for fame.

Says the man who was out 'til midnight drinking beer the night before his downhill run.(Where he blew his chance for a medal with poor form at the very end of the run.)

[ansel12]

"Sport was born clean and would remain so if it was about just competing for the fun of it"

"Sport" is what you make it.

[Freedom_no_exceptions]

I used to have a better life when I was nobody.

You still are.

[dfwgator]

Just shut up and ski.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

In this instance it means that he straddled a pole instead of skiing around it.

[all4one]

Typical Lib...blaming everyone else. His 15 minutes are up...what a tool. Sadly, there is another skier who is here in the U.S. who should have been picked for the team over this moron. I hope his sponsorships disappear...Nike time to drop this dope.
