Someone once said that scuba diving is like going back to Mother Nature’s womb albeit temporarily because every scuba diver would like to rise above deep waters no matter how cool the scene down there may be.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU standout defensive end Tommy Blake said he had to get away from football after he became overwhelmed with stress.
Blake will miss his second straight game, and third this season, when the Horned Frogs play Saturday at Wyoming. His status is expected to be re-evaluated next week.
“I feel like I was putting too much pressure on football, and I wasn’t taking care of myself as good as I should have been,” Blake told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in his first interview in two months. “I had to pay attention to Tommy. Not the football player. Just Tommy.”
Former United States Olympian Mickey Bey Jr. (9-0, 6 KOs) scored two knockdowns en route to hammering out a second-round knockout over outclassed Castulo Gonzalez (9-4, 3 KOs).

Jolting left hooks continued to penetrate Gonzalez’s lackluster defense, as Bey bounced several head snapping left hooks off of his opponent’s skull. Late in the 1st, Bey drew a caution from referee Jose Cobain to get his punches up.
