I am awestruck by his quotes. Frankly, I thought your post was a joke, but then I went to the story and can't believe it. This guy is a complete joke. He can't fall off the face of the map quick enough.
He is a joke. His quotes are amazing.
Scrabbleface could not make up more stupid comments.
I wonder what his sponsors will do ?
Some of the sponsors were not happy after his 60 minutes comments about skiing drunk.
Well, if his sponsors are smart, they will drop him. 0-5 at the Olympics + stupid comments, perhaps Miller will fade away without the attention. Hopefully.
Sure. :) And, I´ve forgotten, special thanks to the German Armed Forces, which are the employer to many (if not most) of our medal-winning athletes. The promotion of our elite sportsmen depends on a large extent on our military. It´s, that most athletes hardly can afford to train several hours a day throughout the year, and have a normal job. It´s either your job or your sport - and so the mil a friendly employer. I don´t know, is it similar in the US?
Well Bode, "your way" sucked.
I guess "the whole package" doesn't include medals, huh?
Who are his sponsors?
"But I like the whole package. I always have."
If you are looking for work, Bode, they are making a Brokeback Mountain sequel.......
The sponsors should drop him.
However, some of them may like the bad boy image of "Miller Time."
Let's get drunk and ski.
I will do some research.
I guess that Nike and a New Hampshire ski area , to start.
His way...Way, Way sucked.
Now, he could go home to his parents' cabin with no electricity and no running water.
Atomic, Barilla, Bretton Woods, Brinko, Nike, Charles Schwab, Selko Photo, Sirius, Swix, USSA, Tamarack Tennis Camp, Visa...

If Mancuso had not medalled everyone would be bashing her big time, much as they bashed Weir for his fiasco.
We ought not be telling our kids that if they can't be the BEST they ought not compete in sports.
He also said previously, that winning is not coming out first, but doing your best.
If you win, but didn't do your best, that is not good.
He's right and I can't fault any of these people for not getting the gold medals. The pressure, the expectations and the possibility of injury is immense.
AP has a story on the net today that the bright spot was last minute addition of Dick Button to all the skating competitions........
LOLOL so NBC thinks that was a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL
The Koreans like to hold grudges (Roy Jones in '88 was the biggest screw job I have ever seen in sports). Looks like they got their revenge in the relay, though
The non-primetime coverage was good. No pre-packaged stories, less commercial, actual discussion about the events, and no Bob Costas (he's OK, just sick of him after 20 years - he need to grow old looking like the rest of us). For example, the hockey guys (Clement, Ferraro, Doc & Davidson) dsid a good job and were even handed.
I am waiting ... forever, as I am on the west coast. *sigh*
Hockey bronze just finished. Go, Czechs!
Remember how they brought down the Olympic website last time when Ohno won the gold.
