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?

Those Chinese… AND Hickory Rotarians

Last week I traveled to Hickory to speak to the Hickory Rotary Club. What I learned was exactly what I told Holden Thorp four years ago…. and have reminded you guys on numerous occasions. Those good ol’ 8,000,000, 000 Chinese ain’t alone……

The Chancellor, a putz and a horn dog….

Holden Thorp, and his wife Patti, have been personal friends of mine for 5+ years thru thick and thin and lots of yucky sludge. I’ve never been “friends” with a for-real chancellor before. I have no frame of reference …..

Week Three: Do Stanford’s Players Take Swahili?

I adopted Stanford as my favorite “not-an-alma-mater” team when I saw Toby Gerhart gallop over Notre Dame and Southern Cal. I loved Toby and Harbaugh The Younger and Andrew The Luck. Could Stanford be the One Team in America that doesn’t …..

Week Two: Truman, We’re Not Playin’ Kansas Anymore!

To most of you it was just agate type in the Sunday college scoreboard; but it was more to some of us. I am a student of the socio-cultural aspects of American sports. The results of cards laid and cards played in BCS poker. If this were “strip poker”, Truman The Missouri Tiger….
