Bode Miller is an ass.

I've had enough of Bode Miller. This is the guy who went on 60 Minutes and said he has skied drunk, and has often competed on two hours sleep after a long night out. He and his fellow American ski team gladly called themselves the best in the world and created the expectations of many gold medals at these Olympics. After a fifth place finish earlier this week Miller said medals weren't important to him. Sorry pal, you can't have it both ways. Then yesterday he missed the podium again and said he was happy that he didn't have to drive into Torino for the medal ceremony. It's no secret that this guy didn't train much at all this year at which leads me to say he should have stayed home. Yes he's probably the best skier the US has, but if he isn't going taking the games seriously he is just depriving somebody who has busted their ass and genuinely wants to be there a spot on the team. Somebody else may not finish as high as him but at least they would appreciate being there and would give it their best efforts.
