Chad Hedrick is a complete and utter ass.
I hate him.
I hate his big, freshly fake enameled teeth. I want him to fall and break one of those suckers right off.
I hate how he makes sure all his Nike branded gear is front and center for the camera every time he weasles his way in front of one. I hate how he always tries to make eye contact with the camera, like he's got an imporant message for all the folks at home. I hate how he changed his hat right before he got his medal to make sure Nike was getting their money's worth. You're about to get a gold medal and THIS is what you're thinking of? Make sure the sponsors are being taken care of? Then you have the GALL to bitch at Shani Davis for favoring himself over his country because he chose not to participate in the team pursuit? What THE fuck is the matter with you, Chad? Patriotism at the Olympics is apparently only important to you when you can win more gold, eh? THEN you expect us to believe that's not the case? That's bullshit.
I hate how he apparently listened to his PR people and came up with a "story" to make his gold medal seem more important. The day he won was "the thirteenth anniversary of his grandma's death." The THIRTEENTH anniversary of his grandma's death. THIRTEENTH. She'd been dead a pretty long time, don't you think, to create such a maelstrom of emotion in her grandson? I wonder what he was like on the first anniversary of her death. He must have been prostrate with grief for days. If that day hadn't been the thirteenth anniversary of his grandma's death, I'm pretty sure he would have come up with some story about how his dog had been run over by a car back home and he was worried about fido. Or how it was a year ago today that his girlfriend broke up with him. OR had refused to give him head or something equally stupid. If he was actually torn up about his grandma's death, then I'm tall enough to reach the top shelves in my kitchen cupboards---which I'm not, just in case you were wondering. Someone told him he needed a story, so he came up with one. It's all bullshit.
I hate everything about him. He's a Grade A Prime Shithead. I sincerely hope he bombs his last race. He's a poor sportsman and an even worse American.
He's the dumb asshole the rest of the world thinks all Americans are, and I, for one, am ashamed to have him representing my country at the Olympics.

Ugh, I can't stand him, his fake-ass teeth, and his arrogance.
Posted by: Amy at February 24, 2006 08:52 PMI've been catching up on my MOB surfing, and the MOB is not amused with whining from the American men. The women are better sports this time around.
Posted by: Douglas at February 27, 2006 12:15 PMOh, thank god. I spotted a CHAD HEDRICK nugget today and was tossed right back into the state of tooth-grinding rage that came over me SO often over the past two weeks (and it WAS often, because wherever NBC set up a camera, Chad Hedrick's face suddenly popped into view - tell, me, do you think he plucks his eyebrows along with the dental work? His facial expression just screams "I am a sociopath!" )
So I just punched "Hate chad hedrick" into my google search and your site came up! It feels like much-needed therapy to read your comments. It was unbearable to listen to the media lend credence to anything he said at all - like how he implied it is NORMAL for an Olympic athlete to change his finely-tuned training plan to add an event he never intended to enter, and that there was something wrong with Shani Davis for doing EXACTLY WHAT MOST ATHLETES (unless they are desperate for publicity) DO - namely, train for their specific events, and do the best they can in them, and not deviate from that plan. How DARE Chad Hedrick imply "lack of patriotism" or "lack of team spirit" to Shani Davis for not knuckling under?
Sorry, a little puke just came up when I saw Hedrick in my mind's eye again.
Here's what I told my husband right after Hedrick won his first race, right after my husband stopped punching the sofa because of the "grandmother" comment: "If you mention a dead person, or a sick person, at an event, and you don't tell me THE NAME of the disease, and A FOUNDATION to which I can contribute money, go screw yourself, because you just used somebody's LIFE to make you sound special.
Dear lord, please let him not make the Wheaties box.
Although Apolo and Joey "How cool is it to donate your money to people in need?" Cheek are now Wheaties boys, which is nice, they were both just cute as buttons.
Thanks for allowing the rant, even a week after the Olympics.
