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?

WANTED: A New (Breed of) Chancellor

The UNC powers-that-be have launched their Find A New Chancellor campaign. Cynicism comes with the territory and certainly it is not without some validity. I am more optimistic than most….

And a Night of Fame attracts the Wolfpack famous. Yet another memorable event for William Neal Reynolds Coliseum.

Be Confident…. Be Strong….. BEWARE!

OK, we made it thru Round One. We are proud of Mitt and repressing the urge to declare victory and shout “America Is Saved!” Your spirits are buoyed today; that was critical. Mitt showed he’s no McCain / Dole.

How Does Everyone Else “Do It”?

One of my pet peeves is knee-jerks’ reaction that each problem in Life is unique requiring its own unique solution. Horse Pucky! There is nothing in Life that is unique when it involves human nature and group behavior. “We need to hold a bunch of meetings on this and devise our own unique solution….

A Blind Bozo Finds An Acorn

I have to get this one in quick. After tonight, the whole landscape changes and “that Idiot Biden” becomes even more irrelevant.
DO NOT suddenly give “that Idiot Biden” credit for anything….

Dear Holden: I think you should…..

Dear Holden: I want happiness and a good night’s sleep for the FamilyThorp. I warned you Dickie was a putz and Tami was a she-pariah but free advice is worth what it costs you, huh? As regards that bold announcement about AthleteAdmissions. Before the goggle-eyed crazies …

“…. and know when to fold’em!”

I’ve long used a poker game to illustrate an academic institution’s decision to “be competitive” at the BCS / Final Four level of Big Time College Sports. A seat at the BCS Poker table requires a hefty ante and a steely-eyed commitment to do what it takes…..
