everyone think about Bode quitting the US Ski TEam?

I for one am disappointed. He's one of the great talents on a pair of sticks. He my not be a great role model (few are) and he complains a lot for a guy making a living skiing but you can't deny the talent. Not this past season but the one before he lost a ski in the downhill and FINISHED THE RUN ON ONE SKI. That's talent.

I too

am disapointed for the same reasons you mentioned. The dude is absolutely awesome to watch rip it up!!!! Total balls to the wall. reckless abandon or whatever kinda tag line you want to put on it. Kinda feel jipped not being able to watch him this coming year.

This SI piece seems to shed a little light on the enigma that is Bode Miller:

Hadn't seen that, thanks for posting. I've read his book and that article really cements the fact that Bode's a complex dude fer sure.
