She's only 17, dude. Not cool to stalk her...especially from above!!

She's not my type anyway.

Yeah, she could probably kick you out of the sky, and seeing how you don't like ladies who fight back, I could see her not being your cup of tea.

He likes ladies that fight back, it's just that he sometimes has a hard time pinning them down.

Diver Katie Bell lives about 10 minutes away and She-Beast Holly Mangold (Weightlifting) is from somewhere nearby. Probably eating small villages.


My next door neighbor's son got a full scholarship to Ohio State for swimming and had his sights on this Olympics before he broke his leg and was out of the pool for two months. That woulda been cool. Even as a rookie and with the setback he was one of the more consistent go-to guys on the Buckeyes.

Maybe his little sister will get to Rio. She's almost as fast as he is. They've had a bunch of people over watching the swimming events on a big screen in the back yard.

I think Holly Mangold may be tougher tham All Pro Nick
