I couldn't agree with you more. NBC's coverage of Bode and expectations had to have placed extraordinary amounts of pressure on the guy. I don't know if the magazine covers and interviews affected him, but clearly, in the first interview I saw with him before the games actually started, he was uncomfortable with the media coverage. At first I was annoyed with all the Bode hype thrown in my face, but as he lost each event I just felt bad for the guy. And now this news you're sharing? They forget he's a human being.
