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?

Anatomy of A National News Story

Other than a couple of lurking MediaMatters spies, the majority of AP readers are fellow Right-Wing Fanatics. Bless your star-spangled hearts. You know Rush and Drudge and Beck and The John Locke folks and a rogue media operations.

Why Johnny Can’t Win

In 1955, Austrian readability expert Rudolf Flesch wrote a book called Why Johnny Can’t Read. (readability expert ??). I like to begin a column with a catchy title. My alternate title – “Non Amicus Wolfpackus” is beyond “catchy” to bewildering.
“Johnny” is maligned, embattled and disparaged ACC Commissioner “Little Johnny” Swofford. No matter what he does, Johnny Can’t Win. Neither could Hannibal.

McGuire, Case & Quantrill Weep

Each event alone was marginally notable, but occurring within 24 hours of one another was a Sports Apocalypse. Carolina & State will no longer play a home & home schedule in basketball…. and The MU-KU Border War will never again be fought….
