My Opinion? … I Like This Guy.

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 Local “Somebody”

Every burg, village, crossroads or “metro area” in America has it’s Local Somebody. ….. In West Plains, Missouri it’s Preacher Roe. …. In Poplar Bluff it’s #50 …. Smithfield’s is Ava Gardner of course. This civic celebrity phenomenon, the “local somebody”, is a quite cool thing to be.

She-Drivers & Pontiffs

Danica won a race and the racing loonies are demanding “racing” no longer be considered “a sport”. Everyone was overwhelmed by The Pope. The “why” is quite interesting.

Butch Davis & The Sunflower Kid

This is a column that might upset more than a few of you. It’s going to get passed around and REALLY upset folks already predisposed to not care for BobLee too much. So be it.

Elvis, Moses, Travis, Lewis & Me

The late Lewis Grizzard’s best-selling books were simply column anthologies but the TITLES were legendary. …. Lewis’ 1984 book was “Elvis Is Dead and I Don’t Feel Too Good Myself ….”

Surviving & Advancing

65 then 32 and now just 16 partisan fan factions complaining about “no respect from the media” and “the refs are against us”. Oops, make that only 15 sets of whineys. The folks around Davidson are grinning and sporting Curry For President t-shirts.

Sweating Bullets Under Bright Lights

I asked for examples of absurdum in the wake of “WE LOST ‘08”. You responded, providing a glimpse into the dark recesses of genus “Homosapius Tar Heelus”. When the Good Lord divided up the nitwits, Carolina did not get short-changed.
