First Grade Teacher Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Bode placed 2nd, 1st and 2nd this weekend and leads by 290 points. Quote
moe ghoul Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Beer endorsements should be rolling in , Isn't he skiing as an "independent" or "unaffiliated" at this point? I remember reading something about that recently. Quote

I couldn't give a crap about cop killing redneck clans...I'm a little worried about our girl (Nicole Hosp) being 54 points behind Vonn, though.

She's Ty's favorite racer, so I root for her because of that. When Svindal---the best skier in the world got hurt---watching the second best beat up on everyone just lost it's novelty fast. Quote

If your hurt, your not "the best skier in the world". Like it not Bode is the best so far this year. Injuries are part of ski racing! Quote

Injuries are part of ski racing! Okay, try and understand it this way: the wrestling heavyweight high school state champion cracks a rib and is out for eight weeks. Then, the heavyweight that wrestles JV gets the flu and can't go. The coach turns to the fat kid water boy and stuffs him into a singlet. Sorry, but he is not therefore the best heavyweight wrestler. No great ski racer ever considers himself the greatest when the best competition is injured. Well, Bode's one exception. I've heard you're side of that argument a lot. It's just a fans opinion, just like mine. But I like to instill in my players a sense of wanting to win against a full side---it means more. You're more of the Tonya Harding school of thought. Quote

Who knows? But this thread has great flamewar potential. Are the mods snoozing? ski said: Moe, Doug is just trying to incite a riot. ROFLMAO!!!!!! Busted. Quote

Listen Coach CCCCCCCCCrazy, if the "fat kid water boy" then beats everyone in the world, he is the best. Got it? Last I checked Bode wasn't wacking any of his competition in the shins to improve his chance of winning. I hope to God you don't teach your players that a win is diminished if the other teams star gets hurt! Edited March 4, 2008 by First Grade Teacher Quote

I shoot a lot of wrestling---maybe 30 matches every winter (ya think I'd remember). It's a good gig if the home team is better and they pin the other guys in the first period...it's crappy gig if the other team is better and always on top---and overtime sucks. Quote
