Well, if you haven't figured that out by now there is no way I will be able to explain it to you Mr. NautiNurse.

Keep your eyes open tho- there is more to this story and you will end up feeling pretty bad about your vocal personal attacks over this matter.

And now~ back in the news for grown ups to get riled up over- our troops continue to fight and die for peace.

Whether Bode won or lost a gold medal is not a story worth calling Americans nasty names over ~to all people.

the media , and people on this thread- are trying to destroy him because he didn't win these past two weeks.

Not winning is not a sin. Not trying, not caring, not training, not being prepared, and "partying on an Olympic level" is what most people are complaining about.

It seems as though Freepers could begin an argument regarding the time of say. :-(

I agree with you that he screwed up. I am not so sure what caused his apparent disinterest. I think I can say he didn't do it on purpose to hurt people.

I think he could have handled his PR a bit better, But then again men are famous for masking their true emotions- but he still is a World Champion-and a heck of a skier. I suppose people would have embraced him had he fallen down and cried and played a victim of something.

I feel badly for him- not superior to him.

Now some people around here..well, lets just say that apparently we have some world~ class athletes - who have a good deal better experience than I in these matters.

Bwhahahaha! I am just WTH at your explanations. But don't let my opinion stop you from seeing what you want to see. Bode Miller came to party. He was TOO cool to actually WORK. And it showed. And it gave back to him exactly what he put into it, NOTHING. But, please, by all means, flick your bic and light up the night skies with it. The world needs more fans to wear the "We're Number 2" hand proudly.

I know you're tired of BODE but...

The allurements that turned MILLER into a non-compete could have
been deliberate. If so, a brilliant tactic to gain medal advantage.

Conspiracy Geek.

You like what Miller stands for, yet you can't say what it is. Only Olympic athletes and otherwise perfect people can be reasonable judges of character, and none of us are the best at our trade.

Your feeble attempts at logic are reminiscent of John F'n Kerry mental gymnastics. Have an extra drink during après ski in honor of Miller's 2006 Olympic level partying and socializing accomplishments. After all, Miller seized the opportunity "to go down that other route."

Prost!

I don't expect everyone to win if representing the USA in the Olympics, but I do expect them to do their best and conduct themselves with manners and dignity.

And your position on the USOC is what? Did the athletes not get your memo?

As a matter of fact, I do. The rest of your post defies logic. Projecting your own emotions toward me does not make it fact.

Prost!

Some protestor just grabbed the mic from the President of the Olympic committee closing the games, and was hustled off by security. Wearing a black shirt, no idea what he said...
