I don't think he's a nice guy, but, they are all childish idiots.

i think they both could have and should have held themselves to a higher standard. if you want to talk about being a team player it extends farther that just the 3 other racers in pursuit, the 18 other sppedskaters and the rest of the US olympians. its extends to the people who pay for your training and hoot for you at home. i don't thik either of them represented the team (american) very well.
i think Shani acted like an asshole after winning the 1000. regardless of the media bashing he recieved, deserved or not, for not competing in team pursuit he should have acted like a professional. i think hedrick acted like an asshole in general. i don't think hedrick gave a damn about him being a team player. i think hedrick saw 5 medals and was only thinking of himself. i think, him being the team captain, should have acted like more of a professional and kept his feeling out of the media. i think he should have congratulated Shani after he won the gold the same way shani did him. that is being a team player.
its a shame this drama over shadowed the games. it worked out well for Bode miller though. the more they talked about these two they we heard about him.
