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?

The Winners, The Dead… What’s For Dinner?

Kentucky will probably win Monday night. (1) Kentucky fans will celebrate and (2) Rival fans from other big-time programs will piss and moan about John Calipari’s methods. By Thursday the sports media and sports public will be focusing on some other bright, shiny gee-gaw du jour….

Chapel Hill Town Council Decrees…..

In comedy there are set-up lines – “guy walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder…” – “X, Y and Z are adrift in a raft….” – and “Chapel Hill Town Council decrees…..”. The set-up alerts the audience to the punch line.

Citizen Goodmon No Longer “Knows Best”

He was Raleigh’s “city father” who always “knew best”. Robert Young’s 60s TV dad personified Jim Goodmon of Capitol Broadcasting. THEN; Citizen Goodmon morphed into a snarling, constipated screeching left-wing media mogul meanie.

Stillman White

No Cinderellas…. but one Stillman White.

There are no Cinderellas this year. All four of The Final Four are “big time” programs w/ “big time” coaches with jaded fans who expect them to compete for National Championships every year. …. and there was UNC’s Stillman White.

Karl Wallenda’s Rule

How many tightrope walkers can you name? Probably just one – Karl Wallenda. Karl’s Rule: “If you want to draw the big crowds, you have to work without a net…. but one slip and its SPALTT.”

Wristy Business

Can it get any better for a provocateur? Two local teams advance to the Sweet Sixteen. That delights the normal “have a real life” fans for both UNC & NC State which is great. But to scratch the itches of their respective goonie bird contingents, there is also manufactured controversy.
