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?

“Sports’ Parallel Universe Part II”

As if I needed to prove my insightful theory on sport’s “real playing field” – the parallel cyber-universe where sports now takes place (as well as politics, international banking, romance and pretty much everything). This one isn’t 24 hours old so goodness knows where it.

A Weekend of Thrills & Agony

It doesn’t have its own catchphrase name (yet), which sort of adds to its cache. The second round of the NFL Playoffs has become a very manageable weekend for excellent sports TVing. Two out of four were certified humdingers for the ages. PLUS; there was…

Sports’ #1 Playing Field is…..

What is the #1 Playing Field in Sports circa 2013? Yankee Stadium?? Cameron Indoor?? Fenway?? TheRoseBowl?? TheSuperDome?? AugustaNational?? Nope to all the above and any bricks, mortar, turf and/or hardwood you might suggest. The #1 Playing Field in Sports today is right in front of you.

Hobson’s Choice of Liberal Media

I rail about the overt partisan Hobson’s Choice reporting by the “mainstream” media in NC, and in the Triangle-area. They have turned partisan rumor-mongering and hypocrisy into a profession. .

To The Accumulation of Characters

Character is one of those buzzwords thrown around a lot. It’s a favorite of preachers, coaches, politicians and self-help gurus. One better “have it” if one wants to amount to anything “they” say. I prefer Character as a Who rather than a What. …. I lost one this weekend.

(Almost) Bowled Over

My “can I do it” goal is within sight. Can I navigate an entire bowl season without watching more than “a half” of any one game? By golly I think I can. A tougher challenge would be reciting the names of every fired NFL coach while standing on one foot and holding a lighted match……
