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?

Who Dances With Andy Warhol?

America’s insatiable appetite for bestowing 15 minutes of celebrity chewed up how many “cinderellas” over the past two weeks….. devouring them like so many Fritos and cashews….. yum yum eat’em up.

Declare Jay Bilas “Czar” then….

There was a well-publicized panel on Athletics & Academics held at UNC@CH last Thursday. Those who knew that have wondered “was BobLee there?” and, if so, “will BobLee tell us what, if anything, it really amounted to?” Of Course and Of Course. That is why you visit here.

A Mini-Cooper vs An 18-Wheeler

Well well…. our last column sure kicked over an anthill, huh? The name “BobLee” has seeped into some new nook & crannies and emerged with all sorts of colorful adjectives attached to it!….. hehehe. A few more transitional thoughts about UNC goings-on; and we will move on.

….since the recruiting of Mike Paulus

Was AgentPierce too cynical re: UNC’s new chancellor? My compadre barbecued the dame from Dartmouth before she uttered her first pithy comment about how AWESOME UNC is then I spoke with various eye-witnesses to her introduction. AP understated this latest Flagshipian pratfall…..
