Bode: Brilliant PR or just fortuitous mouthing off?

[HDHaller]

Okay, so Bode's booze comments have proved the final spark that was needed to launch his pre-Olympic publicity, the magnitude of which (covers of Newsweek, Time, etc) our sport has not seen in more than 20 years.

Were the booze comments well-engineered publicity or just Bode mouthing off at the right time and stumbling upon a pre-Olympic media frenzy?

I think it's just "Bode being Bode" (a dumb @ss)

You have to love Bode for his skill, his upbringing, and his refusal to comform, but sometimes his attitude and subsequent comments are not exactly promoting our sport in a positive manner. Drinking and skiing is foolish, although I believe he was actually talking about skiing with a hangover. I also believe he will some day regret some of the things he has said and done when he was young and foolish; but don't we all.
