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?

A Classic For All Reasons!

· 2 comments

It could have been in Tampa, Greensboro, Boise or in Dave Hart’s home theater, but yesterday’s ACC Tournament Finals was both a Lollapalooza and a Humdinger. It truly had something for everyone.

Nevermind Lennie, Who’s Wilt?

There are a handful of one-name icons in our culture. That is helped if the one-word name is unique so “which Joe?” is unnecessary. “Tiger” …. “Madonna” …. “Rush” …. “Babe” and, so I thought, “Wilt”. A sports history and a fan generation takes a humbling hit.
