My Opinion? … I Like This Guy.

· 6 min read · 21 comments

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?

Calgon, Take Me Away….

To no surprise, that last column (aka “Buford Pusser”) was a Top Five Viewed BLSays of the over 1,500 since 1998. It was posted on fan forums of three ACC rival schools as well as ECU. If 1,000s of views was my only purpose here I could hit the Butch/Baddour/Blake pinata every week and watch the view-ometer spin. Frankly it depresses the heck out of me. And the Paterno crap. Oh, don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of new angles on it to reveal in the weeks to come…. but not now…. This past weekend I kicked-back and immersed myself in a 28 hour Nelson DeMille novel. I said “Calgon, Take Me Away!” ….. I recommend you do the same at least for a few days…..

Oh for “a Buford Pusser”….. sigh.

Maybe it’s my fault. I did that last column on TGU and now UNC’s self-inflicted gut shot starts bleeding again. Like Prometheus….., we seem forever chained to a rock and doomed to having our regenerated liver eaten daily by birds of prey…. with / without “some fava beans and a nice chianti”. If we are ever going to clean up the smell of corruption & cover-up in the public’s eye we need “a Buford Pusser” to emerge swinging a 2×4 and taking names…..

Rasputin Won’t Die aka Great Unpleasantness Update

I promised an Andy Griffith column today, but Andy isn’t going anywhere. He can wait a while longer. Rasputin wouldn’t die and neither will The Great Unpleasantness. A “new story” hit the street yesterday that is really just a rehash of an earlier story but, of course, it has the lynch mob swinging from the chandeliers. We better inject a few soupcons of Truth into the boiling cauldron……

Risk Being “That Guy”

You know “that guy”. The one in your neighborhood or maybe in your church congregation or somewhere in your orbits that you politely avoid if possible. Are you willing to risk being “that guy”?
