My Opinion? … I Like This Guy.

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?

“Roger Roger”

One of a plethora of classic lines from “Airplane”…. I miss Leslie Nielsen. There are certain jobs that come with a “hate – hate” relationship between the job-holder and the public: School Supt, City Manager, Major College AD, Manager of the Yankees and Commissioner of any pro sports league.

Does Your School Have a Ray Donovan… yet?

Ray Donovan (Showtime) is “a fixer”…… “a cleaner”. One of your key employees or clients finds him/herself in a helluva mess, you call Ray. Ray “fixes the problem”. You don’t wanna know how he does it, just that “it’s fixed”. Before Ray there was “Nico” on Necessary Roughness.

“Those Failing McClatchy Newspapers”

OK you self-righteous, pointy-headed jackasses, two can play this stoopid little game. The “suits” at “the failing McClatchy newspaper in Charlotte” decreed they will no longer mention Redskins.

I have no strong opinion about The Redskins Controversy. Keep it – Change it…. I really don’t care. I could argue either side of that debate. But I do have zip – zero – nada respect for the self-righteous, self-absorbed pointy-headed jackasses who operate failing McClatchy newspapers in both Charlotte and Raleigh.

Arnie, not your Wake Forest any more… sigh

Is your pristine image of Wake Forest College that tree-lined campus where Arnold Palmer played golf in the 50s…. That is NOT the Wake Forest of 2014 And it may already be too late to save it.

…. and her name is Cotten

Blondie will always be a Midwestern girl at her core. She studies Southern Culture like scientists watching lab rats. “Why are pretty Southern girls named after commodities?” is a typical question. A new girl had moved in “from Greenville”….. and her name is Cotten..

ANOTHER Kay Hagan “Friend with Benefits” – Slick Willie!

So Senator Hagan, are you and Bill “Better put some ice on that” Clinton lovey-dovey or what? Is your relationship with the notorious womanizer – “Slick Willie” – simply another of your “friends with benefits”? Wink, wink, snicker, snicker.

You want the “benefits” of a photo-op campaign “quickie”, then you plan on casting Boy Toy Bill aside and resume attacking Thom Tillis for disrespecting women. Kind of like how you “use” your relationship with Obama when it “benefits” you, then you run and hide from him too. We CAN “keep our own doctor” – Right, Senator Hagan?

Don’t worry Kay, no one is noticing. Ooops….. Yes they are. Shame…. Shame…. Shame on you Kay.

The Franklin Street Fact Factory

Saturday was a VERY good day. The Fighting Fedorians (maybe we need to change that name, huh?) are now five Ws from bowl eligibility. I had a heck of a fun time Under The Bubble – aka “in Chapel Hill”…. along Legendary Franklin Street.

We’re Baaaackk… as “Choo Choo weeps”

In 2003 a friend of mine was offered a gig with a “worldwide leader”. I immediately bet him $5 he would not last three weeks. This weekend begins Season Three of The Good Sports pre-game show on WCHL 97.9 FM with fellow provocateur Art Chansky. Go figger….
