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?

Larry, Dave, Dave & Dave

“Hi. I’m Larry. These are my fellow local ACC head football coaches Dave…. and Dave….. and the other Dave.” Alls we need is Bob Newhart and, more importantly, Mary Frann in a fluffy sweater?

“A League Of Our Own”

Saturday was “a bountiful feast” for fans of college football. Comparable I guess to either of several weekends of March Madness for college basketball fans. I risked carpal tunnel syndrome working the remote back & forth.

Venom-spewing Bully Goes Toxic

Its not Thursday, but the latest Bill Barber crap necessitates a special commentary. Without Jim Goodmon and McClatchy’s failing newspapers, Bill Barber would be stalking a Goldsboro street corner shouting “REPENT!

A Whoa Nellie Moment. WOW!

It was a moment that screamed for Keith Jackson’s “Whoa Nellie”. It was as incredible a sports theater moment as you’re ever likely to witness. The only similar moments are a certain “Air ball in Albuquerque” in 1983. “Eli’s pass to David Tyree” and I suppose Gio’s punt return merits slight comparison too.

The “Duke Being Good” Conundrum

Deal with it. Duke Football is pretty darn good. Not great but pretty darn good…. and not a fluke. That’s a good thing for The ACC. This Saturday’s Duke Comes To Kenan encounter is officially “a very tough ticket”.

So, I sez to Swofford “Johnny you oughta……”

The Broadcasting Hall of Fame already has it . Known as “BobLee (& that other guy) Interviews The Commish”; our Good Sports’ 30-minutes with ACC Major Domo John Swofford this past Saturday is already available on Pay-For-Listen.

The (clean black) Man Who Would be King

The Man Who Would Be King was a novella by Rudyard Kipling that was adapted into a 1978 movie starring Sean Connery and Michael Caine. A frightening comparison to Obama’s two term POTUS ……
