My Opinion? … I Like This Guy.

April 09, 2026

OK … a week ago I had never heard of “This Guy”.  Of course, the only current or recent NBA head coaches I “might” could name are Steve Kerr, Gregg Popovich and JJ Redick.  Those first two because they are hard-core, quite insane, obscenity screeching TrumpMAGA Haters … and JJ is, of course, “JJ”. 

The ONLY Charlotte Hornets Head Coach I can name would be “Dick Harter” and that was 25+ years ago.  Who forgets a name like Dick Harter?  I’d be hard pressed to name a dozen current NBA players much less coaches.  Hellfire, I can’t name three WNBA teams much less coaches or players (not named Catlin or Sophie).

Any opinions I might have – and will be sharing below – about Michael Malone (that IS his name, right?) have developed over the past three days.   

Coach Malone’s opinions about Donald Trump and MAGA guys like me … whether he (Malone) is mentioned in the Epstein files … Did he ever have a liason with a “sports journalist(?)” at a remote Arizona hide-away ala Mike Vrabel – YIKES! … Does he (Malone) “Hate Jews” … Does he think we “faked the moon landing … and 9/11 … and Kennedy’s Assassination … and COVID” … and, and, and …  and what is his opinion on con-trails and Candace Owens and barbeque – vinegar or tomato sauce? … Where O’ Where is Silent Sam? …… I don’t know ANY of that YET … but surely some pathetic no-life Franklin Street board monkey and/or some equally pathetic no-life Hated Rivals are deep diving the Dark Web to find out.  Sordid details should begin trickling out any minute now … 

FWIW: I also applaud NC State’s selection of alum Justin Gainey as the solution to their most unusual WTH with Will WhatsHisName.

Lets go with a bullet-points format, OK?

The Masters: An Anachronism Like No Other

It’s slogan has become a punchline. The event itself has become Sports’ #1 annual anachronism. Never has it been more anachronistic than it was this past weekend. It is The Masters.

Another Greatest Ever Debate Rages…..

Coach K “looked for someone to hug”…. as confetti descended from the roof of The Lucas Barn in Eeevil Indiana. TruBlues clung desperately to their Helms Thing. The Argument for Greatest Coach raged along 15-501.

49 Years Later, Another One For The Ages.

On March 19, 1966 in Cole Field House, Willie Cager, “Big Daddy” Lattin, and the Texas Western Miners’ made college basketball history. 49 years later, in much beleaguered Indiana, in yet another “Game for the Ages”;….

Carol Folt In a Pickle Over A Portrait

UNC-CH’s much-maligned munchkin Chancellor Carol Folt (From Dartmouth) finds her self in a “pickle over a portrait”. Carol was not universally admired within Dartmouth Nation. …. I can understand why.

Republican Cannibals Yum Yum Eat’em Up!

Republicans are a nasty bunch. They commits more atrocities than a 747-load of Auschwitz guards. Just ask Jim Goodmon or the NandO. Repubs ARE rough on one segment of society – their fellow Republicans. How come that is?

No One In Their Right Mind

I never heard of Chris Borland until last week when he retired from the NFL at the age of 24. His very “early out” from a dream career in The NFL sent the public and pundits into tizzies. …… “Tizzies” always get my attention.

Goodnight Mr Nichol, Whoever You Are!

This title is a tribute to Jimmy Durante’s Mrs Calabash. “So I walked into a coffee shop with two homies.” One was a right-wing guy. The other one wasn’t. Right-winger related a story – When People Who Know Everything; Don’t Really.
