I was going to say the same thing. I mean, what else is the guy going to say? "I've been swimming all these years in hopes of getting an endorsement and now I've finally got one...yeah for me!!!". Unless you are already independently wealthy the potential of an endorsement deal is sure to light a fire under your butt when you reach his level.
I also heard the Cullen Jones interview this morning on my way to work. Quite an impressive young man. I loved his comment that he was swimming because he loved the sport, not for the endorsement deal. Certainly we master swimmers can relate.

Most definitely, it's a great meet in a fantastic facility, about 2 miles from my home. However, it has been light on attendance the past two years which makes it go VERY VERY fast.

Geek,
Cullen had used up his four years of college swimming this past year. I read in an interview on us swimming site that he is going back to finish his degree though.
