It’s just one bite, after all. You drop your spoon in the sink while savoring the malty goodness. You scored a smidgeon of brownie and peanut butter cup in your bite. What the heck? Maybe, just one more spoonful. After all, you didn’t get any chocolate-covered pretzels the first time. You know how this ends. Before you know it, you’ve tanked half a pint of ice cream while the freezer door stands open

Most people spend time like a gambler at a slot machine. They don’t bother pulling the arm, they just push Max Bet as fast as they can. 

Back when sports didn’t have TV contracts, player-coaches were a bit more common. Baseball hall-of-famers like Ty Cobb and Frank Robinson played the game while coaching. NFL great Tom Landry played defensive back while serving as defensive coordinator for the NY Giants. Perhaps the best player-coach of all time was Bill Russell.

It’s Not Too Late “You can’t go back and make a new start, but you can start right now and make a brand new ending.” – James R. Sherman Visiting Haleakalā Crater on Maui feels otherworldly. The volcano stretches just 10,000 feet above the Pacific. But that belies the fact that it descends another 19,000 …

Gary, Jason, and I had our pre-interview chat with Phil M. Jones this week. Jones is the bestselling author of Exactly What to Say and will be delivering a keynote at Mega Agent Camp later this month. If you’re coming, you’re in for a treat.

Wilt Chamberlain was one of the all-time greatest NBA players of all time. He holds many all-time records, including the most points per game in a season (50.3), most points scored in a game (100), and most free throws made in a game (28).
