Even my most contrarian friend is anti-Bode. LOL

This woman is still defending James Frey. LOL.

I am watching highlights now on NBC. Too many so good to list that Bode just isn't worth the time. Let the skiing fiends have him back so the rest of us can get back to normal.

What is the broadcast time for the Closing Ceremony? 9 pm?

I for one am very sad the Olympics are over...I am always sad when they end, especially the winter games...

The network spun the dice with Bode, as did Nike, and they lost big time...they should've known...one of the snowboarders would've been a better bet- more mainstream.

Shaun White is on this weeks cover of Rolling Stone : )

I posted that somewhere but don't know if you had seen it.

He is going to be hugely marketable.

I had the misfortune of being in the hospital for 5 days last week and missed so much coverage.

The internet allowed me to go back and watch so many events I missed. The NBC site was very good with videos.


I also get sad and NBC now has a highlight clip with the Bocelli song ( about 2 minutes long) It will bring tears to your eyes. Its not a spoiler.

ENJOY : )

The biggest bust in Olympic history

Bode Miller got it right a long time ago. He said he might not come to these Olympics, and he never really did.

The phrases Miller heard most in the Turin Games were "Did Not Finish" and whatever means "last call" in Italian.

A new definition to "It is Miller time."

Let's get drunk and ski.

Well, what can you say to that? Party on, loser!

I guess it never occurs to Bode that the "Olympic level" life is going to come to a screeching halt if he remains on his unserious losing streak.

Been without a computer hookup since last Thursday, oh the withdrawal! Massive system failure at my provider.

I'm getting a backup.

Did watch a lot of Olympics this weekend and it was great.

Thanks for hosting these threads. I especially liked the posted schedules.
