Everyone Is Out to Get Bode Miller

You know what, I might have liked it better back when Bode Miller was drunk and didn’t give a crap about winning gold medals. He might still be drunk, but he appears to give many craps about winning the World Cup. (And he doesn’t even play soccer!) The final downhill even of the World Cup was cancelled yesterday, costing Miller a shot at the championship. Of course, this is all a conspiracy,

Swiss skier Didier Cuche won the downhill title for the second year in a row, beating Miller by just five points. Miller is also in a close fight with Cuche and Benjamin Raich for the overall World Cup title.

“The evidence points to they didn’t want to get the race off,” Miller told The Associated Press in an interview outside his trailer. “The Swiss have an angle to not race because their guy wins the title if we don’t race today and it’s very risky for them to get that title if we do race.

“The Austrians have an angle because they don’t want an extra bunch of points that Raich isn’t going to score that me and Cuche would score for the overall title.”

I have three things to say about this skiing-related article. I have no idea who these non-Body Miller people are. Aren’t the Swiss neutral? Skiing has two i’s back to back, which looks weird.
