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?

The Rule Of 3s

Everybody knows that celebrities always die in 3s. …. Unlike “Dean only recruited Eagle Scouts” and “Mike Krzyzewski has cloven hoofs”, the Rule of 3s IS actually “a rule”. …. (1) Suzanne Pleshette – (2) Heath Ledger – (3) ???? Apparently there is a NEW Rule of 3 ….. Three “celebrities” will…..

Did Babe Ruth Run Funny?

It sounds silly to say but I bet you were fooled too. …. Watch newsreel footage of Babe Ruth. He runs like a Keystone Kop or Charlie Chaplin. Could it be early film technology or has mankind just learned to walk right since Lee Iacocca marketed the Mustang?

How Zebras Earn Their Gripes

The “Meet Jimmy Sexton” column has circled the globe more times than Soyuz 7. The name Sexton has joined Krzyzewski and Amato on the Tar Heel yuck ptui list …. BobLee gets into “the Referee Thing”.

Dean Was The 5th Beatle!

Yesterday, between an evangelical get-together in The Alamo and being a faux fat cat in The Legend’s Lair, yours truly got his tour of The Latest Lourdes – the brand spanking new Carolina Basketball Museum in “The Ernie”. ….. BobLee’s perception is likely a tad less syrupy than

As Good As It Gets

Tar Heel fans need more to brag about like Newcastle needs coal. The average UNCer is hardwired to bombast that all good about the world emanates from Chapel Hill. This patrician view of life quickly dissipates beyond a one mile radius of The Old Water Fountain except maybe …..
