So U.S. Olympic hopeful Bode "Bodelicious" Miller "loathes excessive media attention"? For someone who loathes the media so much he sure was quick to believe their assertions that Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds had been flying under the radar with their steroid use. Uh, is this new news? No. What is news is the Bodeman has gotten more media attention with his mouth than with his skiing. Another way he has grabbed attention is his suggestion of legalized doping. Is this guy for real? He CRAVES excessive media attention! He DEMANDS it! Good thing he has not been to the top step of the podium more this winter than he was last season or he could be spreading his ideas through other forms of media besides Rolling Stone, Newseek, Outside and Time Magazines. (Who did I forget?).
Bode, who met his Canadian girlfriend in an Internet chat room, (not that there's anything wrong with that) went on 60 Minutes not too long ago and revealed to Andy Rooney that he had skied under the influence of alcohol or at the very least, a really killer hang-over. He then basically went on to say that he would do it again. Needless to say, he has attracted more criticism about that than my attempts at putting on a decent dinner. The ski commissioner rejected his behavior and declared "The fact is, you simply cannot ski while drunk,". Well, it appears that not only can Mr. Miller do that, he can do it well. This same attention-hating athlete competed in well over 130 straight World Cup races and is currently ranked 4th in the overall standings. He has two Olympic medals, four world championship golds and 19 World Cup events. On skis, there is no one on the slopes more amazing to watch. He has given new meaning to the words speed freak. But when this skiing billboard opens his brash mouth, that's when things really hit the gates!
Mr. Bodelicious....
Curiously, two weeks before the Olympics, he is not on the slippery slopeswith his unorthodoxstyle preparing for Turin, but golfing with his brother and shooting his mouth off. I, for one, will be watching to see how he does at Chamonix or at the very least how good of a tan he got while he was on the greens. This guy drives me crazy!
Bodemeister, you iconoclast, you!...Just continue your smirking disrespect for the media, pushing buttons and allowing your mouth to run off course. It all will bode poorly for you. We will watch your rolling snowball turn into an avalanche ...Or you could stick to doing what you do best...GO FAST!
Either way, you real man of genius, we salute you!
