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?

Liberal Loonies “In The News”

Some days “the news” is flushing a covey of quail. You’re walk thru a field and all of a sudden WHOOOOSH a messa quail fly up and you just point and shoot. Odds being you’ll hit some of’em.

RIMSHOTS 10/13/13

I haven’t done a RIMSHOTS collection in a long time. Can’t say THAT anymore. Several of these might ruffle some feathers – hopefully. Feathers are meant to be ruffled.

Some Ice Bergs are…. Dear Mr. Bubba

A classic sports marketing story AND BobLee tries to get his name in The N&O by…… McClatchy’s N&O and Charlotte Observer ran a stoopid story this week that was “Unsolicited Stoopid Advice That Bubba Gets”. So, I got to wonderin’ if…….

EXTRA! “Condi” and “Jack Halperin”

“They” so far only include David Pollack and Pat Dye so lets not quite declare this is “representing a vast majority of….”. But since Condi is a well-known AfAm – Repub – Female we can expect a mini-media-groundswell. Another “ill wind” is ablowing those fabled “jerseys in the Dean Dome rafters”.

Is It “Fire or Ice” For UNC Athletics ??

I’m poaching this from BobLee. It is incredibly insightful. I’ve changed three dangling participles and added the obligatory Jim Goodmon reference so he can’t sue me. Either Al Capp or The Venerable Bede said….
