Back in the old days before zillion dollar endorsements for amateur athletes...

Bode Miller was a mess and an utter embarrassment during these Olympics. Michelle Kwan had the good sportsmanship and honor to allow an alternate to take her place on the team when she knew she couldn't give the U.S. team her best performance.

On the other hand, Miller was only there for the parties. He is old enough to know better. He will never be on a box of Wheaties. He is toast.

I think the Flying Tomato should get a Wheaties box...LOL

Well again- that is very easy for you to say from where you sit. I still like him... and so do millions of his fans. I think he will just go on and win something else.

Skiers are still going to love this guy.

He brought a lot to his sport and he has given a lot to his sport.

Sorry- it will take more than this to tear him down.

Well said, NautiNurse. I sure feel sorry for Bode's alternate, sitting at home (or wherever) watching Bode's performances these two weeks and hearing him rave about how he "got to party and socialize at an Olympic level."
