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?

…. in a Land called Honah Lee

It has been “special” for 45 years because it has been so comfortable. Too comfortable to try to analyze. He could be the neighborhood pharmacist or owner of the hardware store. I wouldn’t be me if I hadn’t known him. Today I said good-by to Coach Jones….

A Toaster, A Blender, Duelin’ Jesses

IT’S HERE! Primary Day in North Carolina…. Anticipated with the enthusiasm that Benson citizens feel on Mule Day or a Spivey’s Corner resident’s pride on Hollerin’ Contest Day. … or the goggle-eyed fervor of board monkeys on National Signing Day.

Two Jack Armstrongs, More Roy and Jeremiah

Back in the 40s there was a fictional character called “Jack Armstrong – All American Boy”. I’ve found two such young men still among. Meanwhile Ol’ Roy’s “Piss’em ALL Off Dadgummit Tour” enters Phase Three.

Holden Who ???

His name is straight from a Faulkner/Salinger novel …. He has the slightly rumpled yet youthful look of a chemistry professor, which he is/was.

Dear Chancellor Doogie

It took less than 24 hours to assign UNC’s new Big Cheese his nickname – “Chancellor Doogie”. Not only does he resemble the former TV “Boy Doctor” but both are “wunderkins”. Every media account has emphasized his savantish intellect relative to his age so…
