Update: Bode Miller Still Missing His Sack
Once again, Bode Miller is executing bad form. Though still enjoying the World Cup circuit, Miller said that if he’s still skiing in 2010, he will skip that year’s Winter Olympics because his 2006 experience was so painfully dreadful.
"There’s too much emphasis on winning," he said during an appearance at BodeFest, a charity ski event that raises money for his Turtle Ridge Foundation. "Being the front man for it in the last Olympics, I thought it was terrible… That was the reason [my behavior] was so terrible, the reason I was a hard ass."
Pardon me while I laugh. A hard ass? Bode must be confused. A hard-ass walks into Turino and beats the fuck out of the competition. A hard ass is intense, fierce, and takes no-nonsense from the competition’s beginning to its end. You, Bode Miller, are not a hard ass. Partying with women that look like they were rode hard and put away wet and then coming through with no medals doesn’t make make the cut. Thumbing your nose at the USOC, US Ski Team, and international ski federation doesn’t help either. Those actions simply make you a whiny bitch that can’t live up to hype you helped generate.
It may be a newsflash to the Bodester but I vividly recall him signing the multi-million dollar Nike contract on his own — I don’t think he was under pain of death by "the man" to do so. I also remember the Join Body campaign, the countless "Cribs-esque" visits into his life, and all of that Bodhisattva on skis bullshit he was aching for us to buy into and embrace so he’d make more money.
This jackass fucked up his own chi and now he wants to whine about it? I refuse.
The thing is, I don’t blame him for taking advantage of the fame and the millions or even for refusing to give the Olympics another try. What I blame him for is representing a country and having so little respect for his position that the only medal he actually made an effort to bring home had a bottle of Captain Morgan etched on the back. The fact that he can’t recognize that, opting instead to blame America’s poisoned culture, makes this "too much emphasis on winning" business as laughable as it is disgusting. How Bode Miller can look himself in the mirror after a comment like that completely baffles me. This guy needs to be tarred, feathered, and thrown in a chicken coop. He is unfit.
So here it is, Bode. You’re a coward that sold out for the fame, money, and women and threw a tantrum when you didn’t like the consequences. Face it. Embrace it. Own it. It’s the only thing we’ll ever remember about you.

Miller is a disgrace and he only cares about himself. I wouldnt’ have cared if he lost if he gave it everything and I think that goes for a lot of people. But he was representing the United States and didn’t even bother to perform. Even if he wanted to compete, I don’t think I’d cheer for him again.
that’s a rough lookin bitch. wakin up next to that would hurt any man’s athletic performance the next day!
One of the most upsetting things about this guy is that millions of skiers would give anything to have his talent or represent their country and he doesn’t give a damn about any of it. Life is a big party. Life is all about fun. But if you have that type of talent and you can represent your country with it, you have an obligation to give it all you’ve got. Miller can keep selling that bullshit but I’d like to see who actually buys into it.
“Partying with women that look like they were ridden hard and put away wet”
What does that even mean?? HAHAHA
Rode hard and put away wet is one of the best expressions ever.
Bode Miller isn’t the first athlete to waste his talent. It’s just that he’s a drunk and a douchebag.
“It’s just that he’s a drunk and a douchebag.”
And in this he does a fair job of representing most of his American peers on the international stage, no?
This dude takes himself way too seriously. If he’s a hardass for anything, it’s gettin with that scary bag in that picture!
Look on the bright side, except for a random thing here or there when he tries to get the press re-interested in him, we’re never gonna hear from this douchebag ever again
