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?

ESPN’s Skipper Shows Stephen A. Who’s Boss

Everyone who saw “this one” coming please roll your eyes and giggle. Ergo the rest of us all saw this coming from the get-go. Yesterday UNCer John Skipper suspended Stephen A. Smith for a week for his editorial re: The Courting Ritual of Ray & Janay Rice. ……

DEVASTATING emails…. Mating customs of AfAm Jocks… etc.

There are not enough hours in the day to catalogue the pure foolishness that finds its way to my desk. I climb said mountain for the reason that Sir Edmund trekked up Everest – “Because it is there!” I like the word “DEVASTATING” and the phrase “Toxic”.

A Liberal Is A Conservative who hasn’t…..

You’ve all heard that old line: “A Liberal is just ‘a Conservative who hasn’t been mugged YET’.” …… If that is true then North Carolina’s most notorious liberal stronghold – picturesque, idyllic and extreme left-leaning Chapel Hill – is about to go “Tea Party”.

In the wake of last week’s tragic, in-broad-daylight, mugging/murder of a UNC professor, Chapelboro’s oh-so-compassionate, tree-huggin’, frackin’-hatin, Obama-lovin’, faux-intellectual nimrods, nabobs and pointyheads are in Official Knee-Jerking Tizzy mode. …..

In The End The Monkeys Win…. sigh.

Since last I took to this bully pulpit (gee, how long has it been?), I enjoyed a stimulating lunch dialogue with “a very well-known sports celebrity”. Our several hours’ conversation wandered over many subjects. We laughed a lot over absurdum that seems to never end…. it gets worser and worser.

“Mary” has moxie…. and doesn’t like Coach K.

They are both from the South Side of Chicago…. but she doesn’t drop F-bombs in conversation. Neither of them are too popular along picturesque Franklin Street these days. He would certainly be recognized…. she was not as we strolled that legendary sidewalk earlier today. Both their names start with “M”.

She had a cheese quesadilla. I had a cobb salad. Who she ? Oh, I’m sorry. I had lunch Tuesday with Mary Willingham. ……

A Week In “The Southern Part of Hell”

If this planet was still revolving around the sun as Galileo intended it to do, we would talk about LeBron going back to Cleveland. IMO THE coolest thing ever in the NBA since Bob Cousey invented the no-look pass….. but in this post-Marvin Tweet Apocalypse World we can’t do that. Nooooo…..

CostCo Throws AMERICA in da briar patch…

As soon as I saw this story I yelled THANK YOU CostCo.

If you recall Uncle Remus (before he got PCed out-of-existence) you remember B’rer Rabbit & The Briar Patch. Wily ol’ B’rer Rabbit cajoled B’rer Bear & B’rer Fox to throw him in da briar patch by pleading to ‘dem “Please don’t throw me in dat briar patch” which, in reality, is exactly what he wanted them to do…..

CostCo Surrenders – Reinstates AMERICA ….. blames earlier decision on “some woman in our book buying dept”. Yeah, right!

So be it with the Obama-lovin’ owners at COSTCO who have banned D’Souza’s book AMERICA from their stores. What better recommendation to buy it than Obama’s buddies are afraid for you to read it.

There are plenty of places you can get the book. There are also several other buying club stores you can shop at other than CostCo.
