Bode Miller is totally awesome

Some people don’t like outspoken athletes, especially when they don’t back up their outspokenness with winning. Not me. Give me a team with Terrell Owens, Latrell Sprewell, Ty Cobb, Barry Bonds, Vijay Singh, Ron Artest, Kobe Bryant, John Daly, Ron Artest, Freddie Mitchell, &c.

Wouldn’t that be an awesome team, no matter what they played? Sure, they might bicker and fight and lose every game, but that’s the fun of it! I’d buy season tickets.

Another person I’d want on my hypothetical team — I think they’d play Arena Football — is drunk skier Bode Miller, who Metro interviewed on the final day of the Olympics:

Don’t you feel like you lost a great chance?

Not at all. I wasn’t the one who had great expectations of results. I’m very satisfied of what I did here — I did my best. Sure, I didn’t win a medal, but I’m still proud of what I accomplished.

C’mon, any regret?
None. I came here to have fun and to live the Olympics at my best. Quality of life is the most important thing to me. I didn’t want to come here, shut myself in my hotel room for two weeks and then come back with no medals.

Are you talking of your friend Daron Rahlves?
Exactly. At the end, we got the same results. But, thanks to many parties, I was very “Olympically active.” And that’s good.

Bode Miller totally just went to the Olympics to drink and get laid. And then he turned Olympics into an adverb. This guy is awesome. Do they sell Bode Miller jerseys? I bet they’re cheap after that stinker of a performance he turned in.
