A few days ago, geezer sportscaster Jim McKay did a tv profile of 1984 downhill gold medalist Bill Johnson who was trying to make this year’s Olympic team at age 40, but who crashed in a race and now suffers from brain damage.
McKay lauded him as a hero but it became clear to me that the whole thing was really a misguided ego trip by someone who has no idea what else to do with his life… and still doesn’t.
