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?

“If Freddie had married you …”

I noted recently that Missus (aka Blondie) won our intra-family Weird Reunion Guy Award. Jack / Jacki The Cross-dresser trumped my Norris The Crazy Guy. Jack(i) is not a real transy – he “just” likes to wear women’s clothes, make-up, etc. – “just” ?? We didn’t have us one of those. ….. then Freddie’s sister walked up and said.

Just Hired Help

How’s it going out there? I’m talking to my fellow UNCers. The rest of you can listen in but I’m checking the pulse of Tar Heel Nation today. As I compose this, I don’t know what’s gonna happen but apparently something is gonna happen. Looking like a bit more than just no dessert with dinner.

Ol’ Roy, Old Sheets & MORE Soccer !!

There’s one less cantakerous coot in The District; allowing us to connect Sen. Byrd’s demise to World Cup Soccer in an awesome segueway. …… On UNC’s South Campus, Roy & The Wears are in a Mexican Stand-off. …… Missus (and Cape Central High) wins our family’s Weirdest Reunion Guy Award with “Jackee” ….. Good Lord!!

You don’t remember me ….

There are 200+ folks I’ve known for 50 years for whom I do not hold one negative thought or one iota of animosity – my high school senior class. We held our 45th last weekend. I had a dee-lightful time You will appreciate why. I know you will. PLUS World Cup …. Algore …. College FB ….. The Newest Bond Villain. ……

“R U Watching 2 ?”

Caesar’s Gaul was divided into three parts. So is today’s global community – (Part 1) Soccer zealots obsessed with cramming their sport down my throat – (Part 2) Soccer-haters ranting 24/7 how stoopid they think Soccer, and the zealots, are – (Part 3) Me. Memo to Part 1&2 – A pox on both of you. Leave me alone.

John Wooden was a ___?

What the heck WAS John Wooden? 99 years of articles and comments and never a single reference to his personal politics. …. How cool is THAT! Both sides will, of course, clamor to claim him. …… Speaking of “clamor” – BobLee has a kicking “what if” to that recent baseball umpire snafu that sent the sports world en fuego.

The Pure Joy of Jettisoning and ….

Do you have a “go to activity” that simply makes you feel better – walking, gardening, reading? For me it’s de-cluttering. In this Non-Accumulate Phase of my life journey, I’m attacking the problem from the other end – “jettisoning stuff”. O’ Joy, O’ Rapture ….. And some random comments on upcoming BIG DEALS !

“Listen my country and you shall hear ….”

.. You know me, Forever searching for that obscure historical analogy. Is Scott Brown the Paul Revere of The New Millenium? ….. or did the Nazi panzer divisions run out of gas just short of the fuel depot? Choose either. I feel a bit like Nick Saban never allowing himself to celebrate; rather always focusing on the next battle to be fought ….. the next battle to be won.
