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?

ByBy Bully: Thanks for the memories

Dagnabit, I’m gonna miss Bully Barber and his Monday Hoot’n Haters. Whatever will we have to look forward to each Monday until “24” comes on at 9:00 PM?

Yep, Hoot ‘n Hate 2014 is done – fini – kaput. Stick a fork in it. Take down the circus tent and load the animals into their cages (aka “ rusty VW mini-buses”). The 2014 “short session” of the NC General Assembly is drawing to a close….. and with it even any pretend purpose for Rev William “Bully” Barber’s weekly shenanigans.

As the June breezes scatter Bully’s last pulpit-pounding rage thru downtown Raleigh, we are left with but fading memories.

Playing The End Game Game

We finally got a peek at Investigator Wainstein. This leaves Deborah Crowder as the only unseen PrimeTimePlayer in The Unpleasantness. Ken expects to turn in his exhaustive report in the Fall giving us 3-4 more months of thumb twiddlin’, bitchin’, blamin’, and teeth-grindin’.

On A More Pleasant Subject

This is a deep cleansing breath column. One that does not beat a certain “not dead yet” horse of infamous unpleasantness. Fear not you fans of unpleasantness, we shall return to our favorite dumpster fire, but not today.

Your Turn, Reverend Billy

You’ve seen the transcript of Evil Art Pope’s recent interview with “some nimrod with a cheap haircut” from WUNC/NPR. Why would a busy man like Mr Pope give time o’day to such a two-bit hack?

Primal Hope / Primal Fear

I can’t keep pace with the verbal ping pong between Rashad McCants and RoyzBoyz. WWI trench warfare with each side lobbing Big Bertha shells at one another. Let us consider a dare-we-speak-of-it final destination of all this.

An InsideCarolina sniper could have…..

So I’m sitting at Breadmen’s in Chapel Hill enjoying a very pleasant lunch. Suddenly it occurred to me – a sniper dispatched by InsideCarolina could become a hero in some beady eyes, if he knew the two who dats were That smart aleck BobLee….. and JAY SMITH !!!
