If you read the actual quotes from Patrick and the part that represents the columnist's views instead, it is pretty clear that it is Rosie Dimanno who is ranting, not Patrick.
I will save everyone the trouble of posting on this thread. I will do it for you.
Next post: Patrick is a bad boy.
Next post after that: Stop hating on Patrick
repeat.
Mathman: I read the entire article. In it, Patrick takes swipes at his rivals and claims three quads in the long program diminishes the quality of skating, among other things. I really have to wonder if he's even seen Hanyu's programs, let alone Fernandez's or Uno's. I'm pretty much the sort of person who says, "Let the chips fall where they may.". Now, I'm really hoping that Patrick is off the podium at Worlds. I'm just so sick of him.
