Bode leaves Turin with no medals and no regrets
The Union Leader ^ | February 26, 2006 | Jim Litke

SESTRIERE, Italy – Unbent, unbowed and ultimately unsuccessful, Bode Miller said in an interview yesterday he is skiing away from these Olympics on his own terms — content without any medals and impressed by the local nightlife.

“I just did it my way. I’m not a martyr, and I’m not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here,” Miller said in an exclusive interview with the Associated Press soon after he skidded off the slalom course in his fifth and final race, completing an 0-for-the-Olympics.

I think Curt Gowdy is doing the announcing on ABC. But I could be wrong.

I'm going to be watching to see how long the banner on the grocery store in Franconia stays up. I'm guessing there's some of his neighbors who aren't quite as proud of him as they once were (me included).
But then, Franconia is a left-wing, no morals, hippy kind of town so maybe even more of his kind will be drawn there because of this.

I agree. Not everyone can win. But everyone can prepare and give it their all.

This guy did neither.

Yep Isn't he the guy that accused Lance Armstrong of using dope to win all of the Tour De France's? Without a shred of evidence he claimed that Lance was a doper. Too bad Bode did not win all the medals Lance could have sued him for all the money he would have made from the endorsements.

Bode leaves Turin with no medals and no regrets.........

And no class, no respect, no shame and hopefully no endorsements.

One wag on another site said he "underwent random testing and came up negative for medals". ROFLMAO.

Bode is going to discover that all those people he partied with are going to want to have no part with a loser.

Maybe it's that new lingo, I guess "rock" now means "suck" Kinda like how "bad" used to actually mean "good."
