anitram said:A lot (or most) of this is the fault of NBC who routinely hypes up American athletes to such points of obnoxiousness that it's nearly unwatchable. Bode happens to be one of their picks this year.

BonosSaint said:On the flip side, you've got Bob Costas almost disappointed that Ohno was fine with his short track bronze and then Costas trying to stir up a little controversy about the Korean team doublemanning him. Like any SMART athlete, Ohno kept his mouth shut because he is going to keep competing against the Koreans. All he said is it was his job to figure out how to get around it. NBC wants these kodak moments and doesn't like when they don't get them. NBC is an ass.

Alot of these guys dislike each other because they compete against each other, I suppose.

I'm not really sure where the problem is though, We've put together a team of Canadian all star goal scorers and yet we've been shut out twice. Maybe we should balme the coaches for not getting the team ready for the games.

I'm so mad that I missed all the drama w/ Fusar Poli, I read in the paper that she glared at him on the ice and turned her back on him in the kiss and cry
"One of the good things about my career is I have such extensive knowledge, so I always go as hard as I can," Miller told The Associated Press. "Some guys can go 70-80 percent and get results, but I wouldn't do that.
"If things went well, I could be sitting on four medals, maybe all of them gold."
