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?

Annual Rite of Spring “commences”

There are the azaleas and dogwoods and The Masters. But nothing heralds the Season of Rebirth quite like angry mobs of self-righteous students fueled by spittle-spewing anarchist commencement ranters.

A Witch Burning In Greenville ??

It has become a familiar scenario. A self-righteous UNC System faculty squirrel enforces his version of “spiritual martial law” over his hapless students. “Thou shalt NOT mention God”.

The Great American Witch Hunt has begun!

You don’t like anything about Donald Sterling, do you? Every picture we’ve seen of him….. every word we’ve read about him this week… YUCK! PTUI! The Donald Sterling Total Package is as repulsive as it can be. The Harry Reid Total Package may be its only comparable. Today’s commentary is no defense of the indefensible Donald Sterling.

Today’s commentary is about the new Sport that debuted this week and is poised to sweep across America. You may recall it from Salem, Mass back in 1692. A more recent version rampaged across Germany and Eastern Europe in the late 1930s. Every person in America is going to be an active “player” whether you wish to be or not.

The Great American Witch Hunt has officially begun. Coming soon to your front door?

This Man Needs UNC’s Spin Guy NOW!

The only way this Donald Sterling MEGA-Brouhaha gets any wackier is if Sterling tells one of his toadies (you KNOW he has toadies and they all have names courtesy of Raymond Chandler) – “Get me that UNC Vice Chancellor of Spin. I don’t care what it costs. DO IT!”

Does Anti-Obama = Pro-Sterling ??

If you are one of the sixteen people in America who has not heard about “what Donald Sterling said”, STOP READING THIS and go to any website and read about “it”, then come back. BobLee has the most entertaining commentary.

Typhoid Mary – or – Mary of Arc ??

Yesterday, today and tomorrow The Saga of “Mary Whistleblower” inexorably carves its niche into the Grand Mosaic known, at least here, as The Great Unpleasantness. Opinions of Ms Willingham’s worth as a human being depend totally upon where on the partisan spectrum one resides.

WHY did we hate New Bern?

I’ve attended two reunions in the past month. One involved my high school’s basketball program. The other involved my college’s football program….. doing what everyone does at such affairs – (1) exaggerating dusty memories and (2) talking about those who were not there.
