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?

Maybe Yalta was all booked up ??

“Yalta” ? If you are old enough to have been actually educated you might be familiar with “Yalta”. In Feb 1945 F.D.R, Churchill and Joe Stalin had a historic meeting at Yalta. Another historic meeting has been in the planning stages…..

Picking A Favorite Team

When a sports fan, through corporate circumstance, finds himself relocated to a community significantly removed from “where he grew up” how does he go about selecting a local team to pull for? I love this one as I have “lived it” on numerous occasions.

Worth 10,000 Words….. At Least.

I knew my column Hoot & Hate 2.0 last was “on the money” as far as what you could expect from BullyBilly and his loonie peckerwoods but DAMN. I never thought “they” would follow my script word for word.

An Enemy Most Like Us

Growing up in the 60s, we played “Cowboys and Native Americans” (??) and we played “army”. Our concept shaped by movies especially “John Wayne movies”. We never questioned the validity “us = good guys” and “them = bad guys”.
