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?

BunnyHole Entertainment-Pleasure Is Bizness!

On March 13, 2006 the phone rang at the Durham headquarters of Bunny Hole Entertainment (aka Allure Escorts). A young man’s voice ordered “two white strippers” for a party at 610 North Buchanan Boulevard, across from Duke’s East Campus. Happy 7th Anniversary.

Another “busy airport” Story

EVERY Wednesday of Thanksgiving Week your local TV station(s) sends a junior info-babe to the airport for their annual “busiest airport day” story. Sports has its equivalent. EVERY UNC-Duke game we get the “Dookie V” article. Is Dick Vitale UNC fans’ version of John Swofford is for Wuffs?

And another thing….

We shall leave Dean’s eternal destiny to a Higher Power. Such hypotheticals could take us in any number of socio-cultural directions well beyond theology. It’s 2013. Issues are no longer compartmentalized within well-defined topics – sports – politics – religion – pop culture – academia – ecology.

Will WHO “Go To Hell” ???

Sometimes its not what you hear but the circumstances in which you hear it. A provocative question was posed recently in an assemblage of polite gentlemen a mile north of Franklin Street. Will Dean Smith Go To Hell? …… AND we also address “a wildfire rumor”.

Dragons (and Coaches) Live Forever but….

“Dragons live forever but not so little boys”. Puff’s lament in The Land of Honalee has resurfaced with “Little Jackie Papers” of my generation. We (Baby) Boomers are into that time-honored tradition – reflecting upon the seminal moments of our life journeys. I
