Bode Miller To Play Minor League Ball
It’s just for one game, and is a charity thing/publicity stunt. Bode will be suiting up for the Nashua Pride. From the ESPN.com news services article… Downhill skier Bode Miller, who won two silver medals at the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002 but was shut out in a disappointing showing in this year’s Torino

Bode Miller “Rocked.”
I get about half of what Bode Miller has been saying. I understand that there can be great performances that don’t result in gold medals or world championships and wins. I get that. I get that you have to live for your own expectations, and not those of other people. I get that winning and

Yesterday in Torino…
There’s just no good way for me to do this. By the time I blog about someone winning a medal, like… 12 hours have passed, and, chances are, being the internet-savvy bastard that you are, you’ve known about it for quite some time. But I’m going to pretend like none of that has happened. Joey

Yesterday in Torino…
Join Bode? Okay, where? Oh, you’ll be the guy not standing on the medal podium? Alright, cool, I’ll join you there. I guess that’s a little harsh, but for someone who made that much noise before the Olympics, I was expecting a little more. And there are other events left for him, sure, but the
