Is Bode Miller the biggest fucknut in the Olympics?

[matcom]

:eyes:

go away Bode, just go away

[GOPisEvil]

1. Not only has he been all hype, he seems not to care.

However, Lindsey Kildow is a bad-ass if she can ski tomorrow!

[LostinVA]

11. She and the silver medal figure skating pairs ROCK

Major talent, but also major heart.

[Dave Reynolds]

2. Hell, any American that can

point his skis downhill and not fall down too often can make the team, seems like. The press made him into something he is not, which is Olympic material.

[xchrom]

3. all i know is that he's cute -- is the more i

should know?

whad he do? i wanna know -- before he and i turn into a serious relationship.
:crazy:

[WillParkinson]

33. Very cute!

And "interesting" interview, too.

[yvr girl]

4. What exactly is a fucknut

and is it...dirty?

[TennesseeRain]

5. I think it's like a fuckwad

only a little crazier? :shrug:

[Alleycat]

6. Why is everyone using him as the whipping board?

So far the Olympics have not been very productive for the US with a few exception such as Joey Cheek? the speed skater dude then of course the snowboarders but why Bode Miller? I kinda enjoy the fact that he does his own thing and doesn't conform. He seems to play by his own rules. Don't we do that here at DU? As far as the sking while drunk comment it was blown way out of proportion. I remember being 18 and sking after a few beers in the lodge.

[jakefrep]

9. I've been wondering the same thing...

He's a harmless eccentric goofball. Apparently that's some sort of crime nowadays in the sports world.

[Alleycat]

12. Not to mention all the other "mistakes"

Michelle Kwan- she should not have been put on the team knowing what they did.

Apollo Onho- from my point he didn't do so well either

[laheina]

15. Eccentricity only becomes a crime

When it makes you less marketable. Olympic sponsors don't seem to like that much. Bode doesn't give a shit and just wishes that the press would leave him alone to ski.

[LisaL]

16. Seems like it's the skiing he had the problem with in these

Olympics.
Eccentricity is one thing when one wins. But when one loses-it's quite another thing.

[laheina]

18. True true.

I know that his record coming into the Olympics wasn't good for the season.

However, I haven't been watching the *actual* Olympics, so I wouldn't know how that's been going.

[LynneSin]

28. Then why must every other commericial be BODE-TIME

Nike picked who they wanted us to cheer on and be our new Olympic heros. Why not let the games play out and in the end pick those who have shown true Olympic Spirit like Joey Cheeks, who donated his money US gives for medals to a really great charity!

[Catchawave]

7. Other: What Olympics ? LoL....

Seriously, unless an American Network can carry it "live" in the future...when I can selfishly enjoy all the results "live" early in the EST a.m. on 40 other channels, and a brazillion internet sites....going to look for an upside down olympic avatar now...I'm just so pissed...this has not been a fun ...oh yeah, and Bode sucks too :rofl:

[LynneSin]

29. I wish they would do the "Pay-per-View" thing

I remember when CBS tried that awhile back where for $150 you'd have 3 channels of all Olympics, all time time and very little commetary other than a basic announcer. But people thought that was too much money just so you could watch your favorite sport without intervention.

However, with the advances in Digital Cable and On-Demand, I think I would fork over a few dollars here and there in order to watch (or even re-watch) my favorite sports. I think the original idea was just too much for people just wanting to see specific sports. A Ski fanatic could pay $20 and would get live & complete coverage of all Skiing events along with repeats during off-hours. I would probably do the same for figure-skating, which is my favorite.

As long as NBC controls the Olympics you'd better start looking for that upside-down Olympic symbol because we're going to need it. They've had a lock on the Olympics for too long and their broadcasts try to be too much for too many people: All Style but no substance

[bridgit]

8. yup...

[Inspired]

10. He seems to be the biggest this time around.

[jakefrep]

13. Not by a longshot...

...that honor goes to the idiots that gave the Chinese pair a silver medal after they fell.

[LisaL]

14. Those would be the judges.

[jakefrep]

27. Figure Skating judges = idiots= fucknuts

It's all the same.

[devilgrrl]

17. Right up there with Christopher Bowman!

Remember that git?

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

19. The biggest waste of figure skating talent in the US in the

past 20 years along with the infamous Tonya Harding. What a shame, Chris had such potential and he literally blew it up his nose and everyone knows what happened to Ms. Harding.

[hopein08]

47. I just googled him the other day!

Seems as though he got arrested for waving a loaded gun in the face of his girlfriend last fall. I actually kind of liked him at the 1992 Olympics. But those were the first that I watched and I was just a kid!

[chimpymustgo]

20. Hey, lay off Bode! He whom the media buildeth up, must then teareth

down.

It's quite Biblical, doncha know...

Go Bode - shut 'em up, please!

[underpants]

21. $30 Million diamond bikini

[chimpymustgo]

22. Bode should be your kind of guy, underpants. He swears he doesn't

give a sh*t about the medals - just wants a GREAT ski. And an apres ski...

The bikini?

[xchrom]

25. wow -- that model was really beautiful.

would a diamond bikini be comfortable?

[AngryAmish]

23. He is the Washington Generals of Turin

[peekaloo]

24. Poo on him. I like this Johnny Weir kid.

The "rebel" thang is amusing but the kid is talented.

[LynneSin]

26. How soon can they make those Bode Commericials go away

I guess they were assuming this dickwad was going to win some medals and Nike was going to capitalize on it.

You know who they should put in their commericials - that gal from China who skated in pairs figure-skating. She slammed straight down onto her knees and still managed to get up and finish an amazing performance and get the silver medal. That's what the Olympics are all about!

[LisaL]

35. She would be good for testing crush helmets, I suppose.

[Ron Mexico]

36. I saw that and was blown away by it.

If I was in charge of a company, I'd give that girl a contract, plus a "do-nothing" executive job that paid her a shitload of money.

And if she knows any martial arts, I'd pay her to drill Bode Miller in the chin. The last time I have to see him or hear about him can't possibly come soon enough.

I do enjoy rooting against him, though. To see him come home without even a bronze would be GREAT.

[sasquatch]

30. Stupid, worthless, hippie kid!

:hide:



:popcorn:

[Kid OfThe Black Hole]

40. you say that like its a bad thing

;)

[KitchenWitch]

31. Thank you!

Did you check into buying our 400 million dollar love nest? I am waiting.

[swag]

32. Fucknut is such a good word.

[Ron Mexico]

34. I couldn't agree more. I like nothing about this guy, not even

his name. It's assholes like him that ruin the Olympics for me.

[tjwash]

37. You must be from the East Coast.

"Fucknut" and "Jagoff" are the the two things I never hear anywhere but on the right coast...

[donheld]

38. He's hot, What can I say

I'll take him away.

[Wapsie B]

39. It's his appeal to marketers and hucksters.

He's gonna sell a lot of underwear and ski equipment.

[Crazy Dave]

41. I would have to say yes

And it's a shame that somebody that probably had more class and possibly more talent got bumped to make a spot for him.

I've heard that a lot of talented athletes get looked over and bumped off the American Olympic Team rosters (and only the Americans) because they have a "normal life", no human interest or hardship story behind them as they came from middle class families, they did good in school, their mom didn't turn tricks to buy drugs, they weren't in a gang, their dads don't have cancer, etc. therefore no twenty minute story before a two minute event about how their lives could have turned out different and he/she could have been dead or in jail instead of being at the Olympics.

Nope, they only had great athletic skills and how boring is that?

[tigereye]

42. no

he's really fun to watch, and when he's on the mark, no one skis faster. He's quite talented - there's just way too much hype. I like iconoclasts.

What kills me is how they build these people up just to knock them down.

[Yavin4]

43. No One Can Ever Out-Fucknut Tonya Harding

Unless they shot someone in skeet shooting.

[JackDragna]

44. Who knows?

I had no idea who any of these people were before the Olympics. Now, we're supposed to care, with their cutesy names like "Bode" and "Apollo?" I think it's all just an idiotic PR campaign to get us to care about insipid, tired sports. The biggest attraction in the Winter Olympics is a sport that A) is judged, making its results completely invalid and B) would not be half as popular as it is if the female participants had to wear long leggings.

Please, please, someone kill the Winter Olympics.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

45. I'm a little repulsed by the networks obsession on the accidents this year

Yes, there have been many, but all the morning shows seem to be doing these little documentary films of all the falls and crashes and manglings. Hard to reconcile Katy's big smile with the guy coming down the mountain 90 miles an hour on his head.

[Rabrrrrrr]

46. Is he the drunk skier?

[sasquatch]

49. Yes

And the dumbass doesn't give two shits if he wins or not. Hell, let's send some kid that actually wants to win instead of some apathetic retard.

[AirmensMom]

48. Yeah.

Can't stand him.
