Bode: No more Olympics for me...

"There's too much emphasis on winning," Miller said. ;D

"Being the front man for it in the last Olympics, I thought it was terrible," he said. "That was the reason [my behavior] was so terrible, the reason I was a hard ass."

And later...

"For some guys, it was a huge deal to win the nationals," he said. "For me, it doesn't make much difference."

 

Sportschick weeps.

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

 

Sportschick?

 

Mmmm, glitter

 

How do you spell "LOOOOOOOOOSER"?

"In my mind, I'm better than any other racer," he said. "I've been racing against those guys for five, 10 years. Given equal conditions, I feel I can beat those guys any day."

And the mind plays terrible tricks.

You're not better.

Douchebag extraordinaire

 

A classic excuse-maker and loser with a capital "L." Glad to see JR and I agree on something.

 

And sportschick's weepiness turns to anger.... ;D

 

I like dickheads, which explains my attraction to Bode. Can't argue with the douchebag comment.

But he's a hella great skier, and anybody who claims otherwise isn't watching or knows jack about skiing.

 

It's like saying Alexander Daigle was a great hockey player.

It's nothing about nothing.

I think what some scout said about him applies to Bode: "He likes hockey, he just doesn't like playing".

"Great" only applies to those who perform.

And I'm buying Lyman a beer.

 

Aren't you a lovely guy.

Why don't you go find some hockey thread to post on? At least you'll know what you're talking about there.

And Bode's has performed. Multiple medals and a World Cup, but I guess that doesn't count since it wasn't a gold medal.

 

P. U. N. K.

 

LOOSER! FRAUD! OVERRATED!
