The Winter Olympics has already started?
That Weir kid was the first for me. Then again, he had a crush on Miller too. Throw in Jacobellis and we had a real doozey of an "American" team. They didn't care one bit about America.
It was a joy to see Ligety get his gold medal though. Mom and Dad in tears, great to see a decent kid.
"and man, I rocked here"
Well, he is coming away from Torino looking as dumb as a whole bag of rocks.
Him and Johnny Weir ...

That'll go with his new lifestyle: Living in a VAN down by the RIVER. Sheesh. What a bum.
Too bad Avery Brundige isn't still around. He kicked two Americans off the Olympic team for drinking champagne on the cruise ship on the way to the games.

Don't forget Joey Cheek. He came off as a class act all the way.
Patton got that right.
Does he have a shred of pride?
No!!!!
she was from Portland OREGON. he is from Maine. I think his parents were hippies and they homeschooled him ... he grew up being more of a free spirit
Bode Miller on His Olympic Experience: 'I Did It My Way'
Unbent, unbowed and ultimately unsuccessful, Bode Miller said in an interview Saturday he is skiing away from these Olympics on his own terms - content without any medals and impressed by the local nightlife.
"I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here," ...
"awesome"...Sestriere's bar scene...
"Me, it's been an awesome two weeks," Miller said. "I got to party and socialize at an Olympic level."

Wonder who paid for his trip [scratch that, vacation]?
Not just an asshat, a complete asshat.
What made Tomba so unique was that he was such a big guy, but was very successful in the two alpine disciplines usually dominated by smaller, quicker competitors (the slalom and giant slalom). He didn't even compete in the two "speed" disciplines (downhill and super-G), so he'll always be a limp-wristed wimp in my book. LOL.
"That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war."
Viet Nam.
Win or lose, he's a jerk. Now he's a loser and a jerk.
