Here's another great column about how much fun he was to watch. Why? Well, because he had fun. Heaven forgive that he should actually TRY TO WIN, or at least be upset when he doesn't even do his best.
The title of the column is "Bode's No Role Model, But He's Fun to Watch". In the AZ Republic today. The title about says it all, but here's the link if you feel like wasting some time...

I understand the "having fun" part and I'm not against that. But this young man is a model of pure self absorption. I'm guessing that he will quietly fade into obscurity, as well he should, and will become just a footnote in history.
I had the pleasure of watching Jean-Claude Killy ski back in the '60s. I'd rather watch him again today than contribute to the further delinquency of Bode Miller.
