"I honestly don't know if I'll be able to do it," Vonn said.

Shut up and suck it up.

I saw this gal last night on Biggest Loser.

She's missing her lower left arm, skis and shoots better than I do?

Sometimes I find the Paralympics far more intriguing than the "real" games. I stop listening to athletes who get jacked up before a big game/competition, then compete, flail all over the court/course/field, then do the news conference as to why they failed.

She's already given us a reason as to why she may fail-sit down and let an ABLE BODIED person compete in your stead!!!

I was watching HBO's Real Sports to catch the segment on Bill Johnson, downhill skier from the 84 games.

The leadoff story was the Weir guy, the ice skater that wears fur.


LOL, sometimes being flamboyant is just an excuse for being good at home and not so sparkly on the road.

The guy is not likeable. He's more in it for himself and 'shopping'

LOL, he was talking about winning 18k for placing third in a competition.

There are people out there that could live for a year on the winnings and he's complaining that it peanuts compared to what baseball/football player earns.


Eighteen thousand dollars for practicing and a weekend competition?

Get a life, moron.
