My Opinion? … I Like This Guy.

· 6 min read · 21 comments

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?

I Broke My Own Rule…..

I broke my own rule last night. I “got emotional” at the end of Wisconsin v Arizona despite having no dog in that fight whatsoever. This pathological over-saturation with “instant replay” reviews may be a worse plague on sports than “board monkeys”. OK, nothing is THAT bad.

Hey Rosa! Where’s My HazMat Suit?

I told you earlier this week how tired I am of shoveling the sludge from The Great Unpleasantness, but I do what I gotta do. There are little kids in kindergarten who have never known a world when The Old Well was not ringed with yellow Crime Scene tape.

The Twelve Labours of… An Internet Legend

· 2 comments

There aren’t Twelve. Only Two so far. Neither of the two labors involve multi-headed demon-dogs or messy stables or a Hesperian Apple, but they are laborious in terms of time-consuming. Oh, I found the original first draft of Carolina Married A Stripper!

And then Jim Martin said…..

Historians debate THE #1 media circus in UNC’s long history. Dickie & Meezie Fire Matt will always get votes as will Butch, Holden & Dickie In The Headlights. Deservedly so for those. But The Jim Martin Report presentation was a HUMMMdinger for sure.

Reduced to Johnny Dawkins or…. OUCH!

The first weekend of March Madness is over and fabled Tobacco Road is reduced to pulling for legacies Johnny Dawkins or Archie Miller. OUCH! Sure, Swofford can pull for Virginia but otherwise The ACC is shutting down its vaunted basketball operation and heading to the ball diamonds.

UNC Prez Tom Ross Is A Nincompoop

When Tom Ross was named Prez of the UNC System his CV had the standard hard-core left-wing credits to impress the left-wing academaniacs but was lacking in “big boy” acumen. I am prepared to declare Tom Ross is A Nincompoop.
