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?

Anabolic Ambivalence

Another “have to write about it” issue presents itself. Being the only sports commentator NOT to pen some raucous rant about The Mitchell Report is a passing thought but since dozens of you are already inquiring I will give it a go. …. I go back to my column in early September

Butch & Jimmy Shear Sheep

The UNC Fat Cats are quite bumfuzzled these days. Butch The Rented Rock Star is hungry and Jimmy says “feed him NOW” …. Jimmy ???? Jimmy Sexton – former student manager at Tennessee and now a sports agent.

….Green or Purple?

We’re going to get “deep” today…. A socio-cultural angle on the Michael Vick Mess that has not been beaten to death. BobLee links Todd Turner to Bobby Petrino in a one of its kind commentary on college sports…. A suggestion to Little Johnny on the ACCCG….

This Year IT MATTERS!

This week’s GAME OF THE CENTURY is in Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium. BobLee knows more about it than any 500 people you know; having trod the Land of Jesse James and Quantrill’s Raiders. The FOR REAL “sleeping giant” of college football

Why We Are Fans

…. It’s not all bad! Under siege from the yucky aspects of sports. Drugs, sex, money, scandal, strikes, bad boyz aplenty, TV calls the shots, buy-out clauses and avaricious agents. I decided to list the “special good stuff” that still draws me…

Humdinger At The Fairgrounds

The TO’B Era of Wolfpack Football was formally christened on a brisk November afternoon in Carter-Finley. Just another last-second nailbiter in the Battle For Backyard Braggin’ Rights.

A LONGTERM DEAL Is Struck!

Just when you think “good news” is just the absence of more “bad news”, The Good Lord sends a rainbow. For Tar Heels under seige by Jimmy Sexton’s ransom demands, the past few weeks have been a combo of toothaches and tax audits…
