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?

Cheering For “Them” ????

Oh, I don’t know. Maybe I’m simply a better human being than the average slack-jawed, goggle-eyed, spittle-spewing shlub that follows sports. I prefer to think I’m not alone in being able to cheer unabashedly for “them” when “them” are supposedly hated rivals.

November….. “Where Caviar Dreams Go To Die”

Who is sadder this week….. a hard-core daffy Duck fan or an equally hard-core Wolfpack fan? There are numerous other examples one could use to compare the risks of making an emotional investment in a sports program.

Three Days Later…..

Tempus has Fugited. The sun has risen and set three times….. PR’s Super dreams seem scuttled yet again….. a dozen or so people have signed up for Obamacare, maybe….. “what da heck happened at 3:30 last Saturday as the Carter-Finley Scoreboard read UNC-27 – State-19 …. 00:00” and a dastardly act of post-game exuberance forever altered our little universe…..

“The Greater Triangle Was Electric!”

“From Smithfield In The East, To Mebane In The West….. The Greater Triangle Is ELECTRIC!” – That was how I opened Good Sports Saturday morning. Yes, the partisan outreach does ooze a bit farther. My implication was that State vs Carolina is a UNC System intra-family squabble held in our backyard.

Same Old ______ Football %$&#@

Did you know that each of the top 100 Big Time College Football schools are firmly convinced that they were the inspiration for the phrase “same old __________ football %^$#@”. “They” are all sure that their team has disappointed them more consistently over the years than any other program in America.

Stan Didn’t Tweet

It’s mid-October and the St Louis Cardinals are still playing Baseball. A mighty fine tradition in the middle of a seriously ill country doing it’s level best to stomp out and destroy anything and everything it’s citizens might rally ‘round and cheer for.
