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?

We Need A WHAT For WHY?

America’s Coach Jim Grobe’s Deacons treated Butch’s Tar Heels like Red Sox treat Rockies. When Wake Forest “shows mercy” to The Mighty Flagship with ten minutes still to play, the preceding 50 minutes are not destined for any highlight video.

Surely you’ve seen it. This week’s national YouTube passaround …. OklaState FB Coach Mike Gundy going KABOOM nutzo at a reporter-ette over an article about one of his players.

A Bubblin’ Stew Of Good Stuff

We knew “GameDay” would “hit a homer” with you regulars and plenty of drive by readers and it did. …. Some follow-up on that…. But now the stars are aligned for all sorts of silliness upon which to expound…..

Happy Happy Appy

They tore down the goalposts at Kidd Brewer Field in Boone on Saturday afternoon but the Mountaineer players didn’t see it …. They were at “The Big House” in Ann Arbor….. If you follow college football at all you’ve heard the shocker

Paving The Streets of Hell

The “media is swarming” as “Infrastructure is crumbling” while “temperatures are soaring” …. As “Barry is homering” …. Courageous “Lizzy is lamenting” …. Over at NC State, “volunteers are vesting”.

The Good Is Often Interred ….

Eerie …. Thursday afternoon I was in an e-discussion with a Wake Forest Deacon when the news broke about Skip Prosser. We were analyzing the state of Deacon sports, he from an inside and me from an outside perspective.
