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?

TV’s Butt-Kickin’ Hotties

Tonight is the season finale for “24”. An appropriate opportunity to discuss the plethora of “pistol-packin’ hotties” that fill our plasma screens these days. Agent Walker will ably assist Jack tonight and return next season with “romantic sparks” tween her and JB. But she’s just one of dozens of “Hotties Packin Heat” across the dial in ‘09. …..

The Big Blue Gorilla

The Big Blue Gorilla: I didn’t see it until a Wuff and a Deacon both pointed it out. Some of the recent empty seats in Greensboro were indeed HDTV casualties but most were because The Big Blue 500 lb Gorilla had left the building. Love’em or Loath’em ….. Royz Boyz and them what follow’em are a significant factor to Little Johnny Swofford & to the suits in Bristol. …..

smarter than most people!”

…. Esteemed Mecklenburg barrister P. Coleman Buck once profundicated “I thought I knew everything worth knowing when I was in the 6th grade. 50 years later I am convinced I was right.” ….. This week I received a text message from our Mizzou senior “Kid”. “Dad, I just realized I’m smarter than most people”. I replied “DUH! My dear, that gift comes with a curse. Use it wisely.” ….. Aren’t we ALL “smarter than most people”? …… (btw; “Kid” really IS!) …. And some TV show reviews.

REMEMBER ??? – March 13, 2006

….. Friday, March 13, 2009. Friday The 13th ?? Thinking of Jason Voorhees in his hockey mask? Actually “March 13” should bring back even more bizarre memories ….. of 610 North Buchanan Blvd in Derm and a duffus named Nifong and one of the most disgusting blunder in the history of modern journalism. ….. Today is the 3rd Anniversary of The Duke Lacrosse Scandal.

My Growing Up People

…. I only “grew up” once and have never really completed the process (kinda like my Masters thesis!). …. Everyone’s growing up was not “like mine” but whenever I pull some rabbit outta my yesteryear hat a bunch of you say “me too BobLee”. Did your growing up have “a Dr Randall”? Mine passed away last week. …..
