This won’t be the last tweet regarding Ledecky on this list, but it’s one of the wittiest. Next, we can put Ledecky’s face on the $100 bill instead of Mr. Franklin’s.

Some of America’s top young talent keeping it lose at World Championships. Both of these studs helped the U.S. win gold in Kazan with their help on relays.

I once watched my then-4 year old daughter (I thought) in a dance class recital from the back of the room. The dad’s were supposed to give the daughters a bouquet of flowers at the end.

Not only did I watch the wrong girl, but I didn’t discover it until I started to hand her the flowers.
