The only thing satisfying about the recent Olympics was seeing Time and Newsweek cover boy, Bode Miller,  suffer the Sports Illustrated Jynx.

It was hard to watch.  The network coverage was more about the lifestyles of the soon to be rich and famous than the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.  I think the athletes picked up on that.  Bode Miller and Lindsey Jacobellis showed they had their priorities straight.  "It's only  a game, dammit, it's our cool lifestyles that really count."

I say it's "just a race" when you're 12 but when you make it to the Olympics winning is the only thing.  Or else I click the channel.

Here's a sketch I was saving for later but interest in the Olympics died out so fast I never got around to it.  Download body_miller_plays_silver.jpg
