Bode Miller let us down at Torino. How should he be punished?

[derby378]

All that hype, all those Nike "Bodeism" ads, and he's got no medals to show for it, not even a bronze. Instead, he's got three DQs, and he openly admitted to drinking and partying when he should have been practicing and training. So what do we do with him?

1. I was kinda torn on this--voted for shrub, but on closer inspection, I

kinda like the one where he works in the Nike sweatshop.

I mean, heck, they gotta get some value out of the guy SOMEHOW, don't they? :shrug: Might as well do it one shoe at a time!

2. Kinda adds a new spin to "Miller time," don't it?

Gee, why isn't Bode carrying the flag at the closing ceremonies tonight? I have no idea... :silly:

4. Oo yea, cheezy Miller Genuine Draft ad campaign would be good!

3. Or they could just try to get their money back from him

:shrug:

5. Forced to endure a non-stop week watching his own Nike advertisements

6. How about

Forcing him to practice??

7. I mentioned forcing him to practice figure skating

Watching him fall on his ass over and over while trying to execute those triple jumps would mean endless hours of fun.

8. Bode is forced to watch bad sports movies

which include The Fan, Rocky V, Caddyshack II, Rollerball (2001), The Babe, The Slugger's Wife, Cutting Edge, Hoop Dreams, Summer Catch, White Men Can't Jump, and mnay others for 175 hrs straight.

11. Can we drive him to Hell's Octoplex?

I insist on a twelve-hour back-to-back replay of Campus Man being in there...

9. Punishment for Bode would be more attention than he deserves

He says he doesn't want attention, but if you believe that...

10. He's a prime example of what this country has become

Lazy, boozing frat boy mentality can get you propped up by the stupid MSM and corporate assholes.... then you can't deliver when it's time to produce.



Boy, The W way of achieving seems to be catching on.

12. I like Bode.

Sports need characters to be interesting,if all we had were goody two shoes they would be boring.Bode adds character to the sport of sking.They can get old and are usually full of themselves but they add to the drama that is sport.In a vanila sport Bode is chocolate.
