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?

So Neither Derek Jeter Nor Obama “Count”

Major League Baseball has a new contrived CRISIS not involving PEDs or the designated hitter. A contrived CRISIS in which Derek Jeter doesn’t “count”. I did not watch 30 seconds of the NCAA Finals. I wasn’t protesting anything. I did not know who won until Tuesday morning…

Anachronistic Civility…. and three kinds of pie

Over 50 years and not one fist fight. Not even one F-bomb. Over 300 mixed partisans of assorted sports allegiances and not one pair of beady eyes glared back at me…. not one set of clenched teeth. BobLee and The Raleigh Sports Club…. a synergy like blackstrap molasses on a warm biscuit.

Frau First Wuff AD To Ever……

Roy Clogston never did “it”. Willis Casey, Jimmy V, Toddy, Les, even Uncle Jed never did “it”. On Tuesday, Kay Yow’s sister Frau became the FIRST NC State Athletics Director to ever fire a women’s basketball coach. Yes….. Kellie Harper is kaput!

‘O To Be “A David”!

It was “the black Jeff Withey” (aka Wilt Chamberlain) that said “no one pulls for Goliath”. The purest joy in sports, or any venture, is an underdog rises up to smite the giant. Undersized, outmanned, and so much the long shot the oddsmakers don’t even give odds.

71 Dancing Fan Bases All Agree That…..

71 fan bases across America all agree that….. “we got jobbed by those damned NCAA selection guys”. They each have a mathematical opportunity to be 2013 National Champions, but will squander that joy by whining “we got put in the hardest bracket – UNFAIR whaaa!” ….. BobLee on relocating the ACC Tournament…. and a PS to AgentPierce’s phenomenal piece on Duke being “Too White”. ……
