My Opinion? … I Like This Guy.

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?

The Face That Launched 1,000 ships….

“….. and burned the topless towers of Ilium” . That line was by Christopher Marlowe in Faustus in reference to Helen Of Troy. Helen’s beauty was so powerful that Greece went to war with Troy (Ilium) to bring her home. …… This face belongs to Jennifer The Tutor aka Jennifer Wiley (Thompson).

“Pretty DownEast Women” – A Classic Returns

Who knew they even had computers AND the Internet? They do…. and in abundance apparently. This week’s “…but Mrs Lincoln…” column hit Greater Pitt County like Hurricane Floyd on steroids. So Blondie asked: “I can’t believe you’re aren’t rerunning PDEW.” So we will…….

Other than THAT Mrs Lincoln how was…..

Other than THAT Mrs Lincoln, how was your Saturday afternoon in Kenan Stadium? ….. Brent’s flag was flying high. The weather was ideal. The UNC uniforms finally weren’t butt-ugly. See, it wasn’t all AWFUL. Oh, and the skydiver’s chute opened.

Old Glory Flies O’er Kenan’s Lofty Pines!….

A stereotype, ever how unfair and unflattering, comes into existence for a reason. OR is conjured up in the musty “methed-up brain” of a board monkey. No local academic community is more stereotyped than that asylum over in Chapel Hill…. unless maybe it’s…

ALERT! Dangerous SBG Prowling North Raleigh

If you have visited this website for any period of time you know about “The Do-Rag Rule”. Corollaries to the Do-Rag Rule are YBMs and SBGs. Well….. an SBG is loose in North Raleigh with serious criminal intent on his mind.

BobLee Has A Plan For……

I was comfortable with the endless debates re: “the designated hitter”. I enjoy a lively dialogue about fiberglass polevaulting poles ( “Tarzan” Bragg??). I get bored re: the length of basketball shorts and belly putters on The PGA Tour….

“Bo” is Every Big Time Coach

I don’t know Mama Pelini’s son Bo…. On TV on the sidelines he looks like a wound-way-too-tight sourball. Likely not my kinda guy at all. Last week he got Bravehearted, pilloried and run over by the steamroller known as BoardMonkeyNation… at least by their Cornhusker chapter.
