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?

An Email From Nip

An Email From: Nip ?? Another mysterious gal who “… saw your profile and wants to meet” ? …. or, maybe that Nigerian banker needing my assistance moving that money? No, wait; I do know “a Nip”. At least I did 45 years ago.

Another “Way” with Feet of Clay?

94.8% of all human activity on Planet Earth is on hold awaiting “The Chizik Vetting” and whatever Chapter 157 of The Great Unpleasantness will be; there is another perplexing issue for the Jury of Public Opinion to resolve. Do you think Bill Cosby is a serial sexual predator?

One of those “Everybody Knew” People

ALERT: This is another of those insufferably syrupy “BobLee’s Home Town Memories” columns…. If you grew up in a small town around the 60s you surely had “a George Denmark”. How could a small town exist without “a George Denmark”. Everybody knew “George” even if they didn’t know him personally.

Always Die in 3’s?

We started it 7-8 years ago – the “Celebrities Always Die in Three’s” game. Celebrities DO indeed “die in 3’s”. No one knows why. Sometimes, of course, more than 3…. Sometimes less than 3 at a time. Sometime 3.

Ducks VS Bucks …. and CHIZIK !!

HAPPY FREAKIN’ FOOTBALL NEW YEAR! An Absolutely Amazing Day in College Football. Both actual games in the CFP Semis were Incredible Football Theater, each in a very different way PLUS….. in a remote section of America, once known as Tobacco Road, there was a TSUNAMIC KABOOOOM. Lord Knows at BLSays we do LOVE a KABOOOOM!

Trying to describe yesterday is akin to that Okeefeenokee swamp boy who fell into a vat of molasses. Rolling his eyes heavenward, he simply asked The Good Lord to “give me a mouth to fit the occasion”.

Do I Remember Jimmy Gautier?

“You probably don’t remember Jimmy Gautier; but he…… ” so began the recent e-missive from P. Coleman Buck, longtime “of Counsel” for BobLee Global LLC. Not remember Jimmy Gautier ?? Everybody remembers a “Jimmy Gautier” by various names.

Half A League Onward into the Breach of ’15!

Ahhh, the glorious potential of a New Year. A pristine canvas awaiting clever brushstrokes culminating in endless exclamations of “I Told You So”. As in centuries of pristine canvases past, humanity shall persist in its quest to reinvent wheels and cram square pegs into round holes.

And for Those Reasons…. I’m Out.

One of our favorite shows is Shark Tank. With Shark Tank the signature line is “… and for those reasons, I’m Out”. When he/she does not want to invest in the whizbang business opportunity. “I’m Out”…. of the Fedora Fan Club.
