Anyone see Shaun White last night telling this story?
Here is Salon's coverage:
Here's Shaun White, telling us about how his mom dropped his gold medal off at the dry cleaner. Apparently he has his own private half pipe in Colorado, where he's been perfecting stunts that no one has ever seen before. I guess all those sponsorships fund a nice life, don't they? But you can't begrudge this kid much, with that wild red hair and that humble smile. Chris Collins compares him to Michael Jordan. "He really doesn't want to just win, he wants to dominate, he wants to embarrass the competition." In other words, if he were Russian, we would simply call him "evil." Because he's American, and friends with Tony Hawk, we call him cool.
And also? He is pretty cool.
