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?

J-Moe said What and….

Balls bounce, pucks fly, horses run…. but the headlines are always what who said about who or what and what who said about what who said. This week our sayers of note are ex-UNC Chancellor Meezie, an outgoing Chancy…. some SEC coaches…..

Rush Done??

Is Rush Done ? ….. Nope. :-)

Over the past 20 years, which blaring headline have you seen most often – “Elvis Is Alive” or “Rush Is Dead”? A close #3 might be “McDonald’s Scuttles McRib”. None pans out. Especially re: Rush!

RIMSHOTS: 04/12/13

Rimshots: Its been almost two weeks and “the rings” have not thrown the solar system out of kilter; but I suppose a few words are due. ….. a Miami Heat fan redefines “complete idiot”. A Triangle sports media icon makes a move….. and yours truly completes an epic trek.

Who ARE Those People ???

Which analogy do you prefer? The Star Wars cantina? … a carnival sideshow? .. a circus parade? …casting call for The Walking Dead? Pick any of’em to describe the Loonies Aplenty at the NC General Assembly.

Holden Thorp Actually Said…..

This past week outgoing UNC@CH Chanc Holden Thorp sat down for a wide-ranging one-on-one interview with Chapel Hill media mogul Jim Heavner (WCHL et al). Jim played “Mike Wallace” and Holden was candid as he prepares to see The Old Welll in his rearview mirror.

A Choice of Heroes

A CLASSIC from 2013: He was an 18 year old Hoosier hotshot. In the Spring of 1950, young Neil joined the US Marines. Six months later he was on the frozen killing ground of The Chosin Reservoir.
