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?

Spontaneous Evolution aka “The Toto Factor”

….. It is cozily comforting to conclude that EVERY SINGLE event on the planet is a sinister chess move by a combo-cabal of Tri-Lateralists, Neo-Cons, Nit-Wits, Baptists, ACLU, John Swofford, Kris Jenner, George Soros, J.K. Rowling, Rotarians or Lee Fowler. Mamma Kardashian causing the Indonesian tsunami IS a stretch but plausible until you consider Spontaneous Evolution aka “The Toto Factor”. Terms you’ve never heard. I just made them up.

HOME TOWN CONFIDENTIAL

HOME TOWN CONFIDENTIAL: Tyler Hansbrough and I both have one – a bona fide Home Town. Such an identity can be “risky business”. Local boy making Good = GOOD. Local Boy getting hit with 51 federal indictments = Not So Good.

EUREKA …. I Found It!

EUREKA! I found the Missing Link! …… Every legal, and otherwise, soul across the fruited plain is convinced that our partisan differences have ZERO tangential points. I, BobLee, have found one! The one commonality between “people like me” and those who don’t like “people like me” …… Guess what it is? (NOT a partisan political rant!)

Where Was Clair Bee?

….. Country music fans lament “Hank Williams you wrote my life”. For athletes it was Clair Bee who wrote the scripts. In Bee’s classic “Chip Hilton” novels Chip, like Frank Merriwell, and his buddies ALWAYS won the big game in incredible nail-biting fashion for Coach Hank “The Rock” Rockwell. Clair Bee was NOT in Pasadena Thursday night.

“…and Joe Montana Dreams.”

.. I saw a movie once about “the elephant graveyard” in Africa. Some secret sacred place where old elephants went to die. In 2008 it was called Congress, but I digress. Is there such a place for old quarterbacks? ….. the eagerly anticipated YA Tittle column! …… AND The Curse of Francis Scott Key!

Our Cup Runneth Over AGAIN

. It’s one-armed paperhanging time here at BobLee Media Central. Lord have mercy, I can’t keep up with the lunacy. I haven’t given Harry Reid his due and now there’s Lane Kiffin, Skip and even John Edwards (yawn!) stacked up like the 5PM arrivals at O’Hare. What’s a smart ass to do with so much rich material? ….. and BobLee has A NEW HERO!

Your Lyin’ Eyes & Other Stories

…. I received an e-mail picture today from a good buddy showing Obama committing a serious diplomatic faux pas …. Or was it? My friend’s final comment was “if it’s real”. Reminding me to remind you it’s 2010 and you can no longer trust “your lyin’ eyes”. ….. Every kid has pretend dreams of being “a sports hero”. Ben Hartman had them too. ….. and a plethora of other stuff.

RUSH IS FINE / and Leach Stuff….

Rush Is A-OK …. He was released from the Hawaiian hospital at 4:15 PM Friday. Should be back at the Golden EIB Microphone on Wednesday ready to resume kickin’ butt & takin’ names. No heart damage at all. ….. and Mike Leach stuff too.
