That's it. I am watching the Olympics now.

you missed the asian chick busting her knee last night and skating through the pain to take silver in pairs.

 

[MOTODH]

"yah he was seen at the bar last night" ha that cracked me up, its kinda sad though(his results)

 

[SkaredShtles]

Why do you hate Bode Miller?

He is a kickass skier.

 

[skinny mike]

mmcg sounds like a sheep right now. a pure, bonafide sheep. and N8 and burleyshirly are sounding like dumbasses.

 

[indieboy]

how the hell can you over hype someone who has world titles under their belt? if you consider someone who consistently wins at the level he competes at, a bum then something is skewed with your pov.

Yeah - but mmcg is the only surprise in that.

 

[Changleen]

This is like that fvckin ghey ass Bender thread in the DH forum. The guy is obviously quite a good skier. He didn't win outright so the dumbass idiot part of America rejects him. What's new? You've always had a part of your country that's as mature as teething two year old.

 

[The Toninator]

Never said I could.

Just pointing out that he failed to live up to the hype.

hey did you happen to catch his runs? no i'm not a mmcg hater, i'm watching right now. he ROXOR the DH. he won that part, their just starting the other part now.

i wonder how it will end...

 

[The Toninator]

oh man. i just saw it. it was a set of in and outs (i dont know the real name for it) and he actually split a red and blue. there's like foot between them and somehow managed to split 'em.

 

[The Toninator]

"yah he was seen at the bar last night" ha that cracked me up, its kinda sad though(his results)

they say that about him every night.

 

[Wumpus]

Some overhyped Austrian skier leading the comp got DQed for the same thing.

[MMcG]

Did you see how winded he was at the end of his run?? Maybe a few less beers woulda helped old Bode out and helped him with a clean run.

Now you're just trolling, Dick.

you're too much. the guy was winded after pulling a SECOND ahead.

 

[JRB]

I heard that Bode Miller is gay and was drinking with that queer figure skater.

 

[MMcG]

you're too much. the guy was winded after pulling a SECOND ahead.

Even the commentator on TV was noting how fatigued he was after that run.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Even the commentator on TV was noting how fatigued he was after that run.

Slalom skiing is an anaerobic exercise, dumbass.

 

[amydalayna]

Even the commentator on TV was noting how fatigued he was after that run.

and i thought he was ridiculous for saying so. they guy just threw down one of the fastest runs.....

just admit it, bode was fast last night. he screwed up, but he was fast.

 

[brungeman]

I'm a pretty good skier... but I wish I had 1/4 the talent he does!!! the guy is fast... and impressively strong to recover from some of the near misses he has had, and still finish!!!

 

[MMcG]

Well he's got a few more chances to prove me wrong right?

What events are left for him to compete in?

For the US medal hopes - here's hoping he proves me wrong.

what's left is the Super G, Giant Slalom, and Slalom.

I think you're ridiculous for saying that unless he gets a medal, that he's all hype.

 

[narlus]

i happened to catch the replay of that near fall/unreal recovery from Bode's run @ the '02 olympics...damn, i'd forgotten about that. to go onto win the race after that was unbelievable.

 

[MMcG]

what's left is the Super G, Giant Slalom, and Slalom.

I think you're ridiculous for saying that unless he gets a medal, that he's all hype.

I know you you think that, and I respect that.

I guess I'm the kind of guy who likes to root for the unknown guys like that Ligety guy that took the Gold for the USA.

 

[amydalayna]

i'm all about cheering for the underdog,
but saying that someone that is one of the best is all hype is just plain silly.

I'm convinced that in the area of alpine skiing critique, MMcG is an idiot.

 

[indieboy]

or just a true american jackass

Unknown? He was the National slalom champion and the National downhill combined champ in 2005.

Just because Joe Public doesn't follow alpine ski racing doesn't mean he's an "unknown".......

 

[MMcG]

I guess what I'm saying is that Bode needs to prove it to me.

I like many other people around the world don't religiously follow the sport of alpine skiiing. So for me, and probably for many others, they wanna see some results from this guy.

Now I give mad props to the female DHer from the US who came back from that major fall the other day in practice to compete today. And her finish was strong considering the circumstances too! Thumbs up to her.

 

[MMcG]

or just a true american jackass

yep that's me Indieboy.

 

[JRB]

Would someone verify the rumor about Bode and the figure skater, please???

 

[I Are Baboon]

So MMcG starts a critical thread about Bode Miller and gets called an idiot, dumbass, jackass and dick for having a negative opinion. Nice. Funny, I don't see MMcG firing back with the insults, either.

 

[MMcG]

Impressive accomplishments. Way to go Ligety!

he hasn't proved it to you with his MANY world cup wins. the only thing this man hasn't won is an olympic title.

it's like saying Nico or ACC didn't do **** b/c the one year you got into downhill racing they both lost a world cup race or world championships. that's a ****ing absurd thing to even begin to claim.

you ever done somehting that has very, very small margins that caused you to not get what you wanted? is boonen a chump b/c he was outsprinted by pettachi the other day? is lance a chump b/c he didn't win every stage you witnessed of the tour?

my guess is you'd say yes based on what you've said through this entire thread.

It's all hard for him to dispute. He always seems like a prick. Much like Jackson always razzes people.

Down with MMcG. He shall take the place of MMike, as the resident hated.

He's not. He's apparently a very even headed individual.

I'm still going to change his mind.

insulting him will do wonders in your attempt to get him to listen!

I did finally see him lose faith in people with that zmtber kid.
