Winter Olympics: A Rant
Ugh! I'm ready to go look at that stupid cloth, its got to be better than this year's Olympics. Exibit A: Bode "I like to drink alot of" Miller (Lite). This guy was the posterboy for the Olympics. A skier on the cover of Time, and Newsweek? He must be the real deal. But NO! I guess he would rather get wasted at a bar the night before than focus on sking. Sure dude, its only the OLYMPIC GAMES! I have to say, I saw this coming. Bode couldn't decide if he wanted to cool and just ski, or play to the bad-boy persona the press expounded on. Result of a conflicted interest: no medals. He has one run left on Saturday, but its combined, so he can't get the personal Olympic glory/redemption he needs (And we all know he won't win anyway). And don't get me started on ice skating. No Michelle Kwan, and men wearin fake eyelashes! And what about NBC's coverage that in 4 hrs. gives you 10 mins. of good stuff? And those opening ceremonies? Absolutly absurd! Did you hate the Olympics as much as I did?

i had a big discussion of the olympics with my vball coach on the ride back from my game. we concured that the American Olympians have way too much pride. the most obvious manifestations were the womens snwbrd cross with Lindsey (she brings shame to the name) and her "let me show off my indie, crash, and lose" move, and Bode Miller's "Eat, drink, and party, for tomarrow i DQ." Sympathy to Nike for investing so much money in advertising using Bode as their poster boy. All in all, i'm ashamed of American, our ridiculous pride, and what sports heros are exemplifying. Kudos to the ones who kept their eye on the finish line and persevered from the beginning to the end (figure skater sasha).
