This story is now more than 25 years old and I have told it more times than I can count, but it hits very differently today.

I was anchoring SportsCenter one afternoon and Lou Holtz was on the show. I was quite excited to talk with him, he had been an icon all of my life.

He was very friendly, asking me all about myself as we walked toward the studio to record an interview. I told him: “Actually, Coach, it’s quite exciting, my wife and I are expecting our first child in the next few weeks.”

He stopped dead in his tracks and put a finger up near my face. And I’ll never forget what he said.

“Young man, the most important thing you can do for a child is make sure every day they know how much you love their mother.”

And, just like that, he started walking again.

Our daughter was born a month later, our son came two years after that. And I have thought about what Lou Holtz said to me that day about a million times since.

RIP Coach, thanks for the best advice anyone ever gave me.

@priceacarter He's the only player (outside of Mahomes) that the Chiefs could get an absolute haul for in draft picks. If they're going to make a trade, it would have to be him.

First lesson: pornography should be illegal so that it’s insanely difficult and costly to access. This would save lives.

Second lesson: sin makes you stupid.

When you’re enslaved to sin, you do stupid things, and innocent people pay the price.

Don’t delude yourself into thinking, “I’d never let it get that bad.” The truth is, if you look at porn, you’re not in control. Porn is.

Stop looking, confess your sin, and allow accountability into your life so you’ll never watch again

“But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.”

Lord be with Charlie’s family. Comfort them in your love. Bring us back to you.

@_willcompton 3 years has flown by! We're two weeks away from having our third. My wife and I have done a lot of reflecting as we close this chapter of being a family of four and begun a new chapter as a family of five. It goes by so fast!
