@JoeFortenbaugh Best Prop / Game parlay for Cleveland vs Canada game? 75 R+P+A for Harden/Mitchell combined (+130) feels like stealing money in a game 7.

My wife, and most important teammate, sent this to me today. 13 years - cancer free - still standing. #winning

The older I get, the less I want meat that hasn’t touched a grill or smoker. Something about that smell and flavor is intoxicating. Maybe it takes longer and can be more trouble but aren’t shortcuts for suckers.

Maybe that is just me.

[David W Compton @davidwcompton]

Teammates should never feel alone.

I’m blessed to coach leaders on how to meet people where they are — driving real connection, better communication, and more real winning.

I’m ready. All day. Every day.

I didn't come here to tread water and merely survive.
I came here to waterski. Let's do this.

@texasroadhouse We bought these and no glaze packet was included. They were still really good, but missing some of their magic. @texasroadhouse

McAfee has become the modern day Howard Stern. He's got LeBron real comfortable talking about everything. Stern was the master at getting his guests to let their guard down.

Not broken. Not perfect. Just ‘scratch and dent’—people and business alike.

That moment you realize for certain that the human you raised is a far better person than yourself…is the absolute best!

God has big plans for me, again. I’m ready.

Takeaway: Being great is a relative phrase. Greatness is determined by your closest reference point.

My dad to an 8 year old me,

“If you find yourself as the smartest person in the room, David…remember it might say more about the room. Always challenge yourself.”

Spoke to a former Indiana Mr Basketball finalist about NCAA tournament matchup with a future NBA star.

Mike Bibby hadn’t acknowledged him all night and been average. He then felt Bibby looking at him as he backpedaled on defense.

Bibby looked him in the eyes and…

[David W Compton @davidwcompton]

almost whispered,

“You ain’t shit.”

Bibby then repeatedly scored at will. The former standout was benched.

Until then he had always been, in his head, the best of layer on the floor.

“I realized then that there was a different level to basketball…and I wasn’t on it.”

[David W Compton @davidwcompton]

I used to regret my time in media.

Now…I believe me getting to know and interview business owners and community leaders for 20+ years…asking them what worked and what didn’t…gave me an advanced business degree of a hundred lifetimes.

Listening wins in the end.👂
