This whole Bode / Media deal.

Everybody's jumping on the negative comments about Bode, blaming the
ignorant media and such.

But perhaps that's just what the "Bode haters" are trying to say. On day 1
of the Olympics, NBC called him this Olympics' American hero, and said he
will "probably get 5 medals", and even possibly 5 gold.

My reactions to him DQing two events and coming below podium on the other
two were rather aloof, I must admit. "Hero, ha!" I thought to myself. But it
wasn't really towards Bode, or his supporters... but more toward the aire
that has been created around him by the NBC and papers and such.
