My Opinion? … I Like This Guy.

· 6 min read · 21 comments

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?

Where Did “That Guy” Go?

If I asked you to name the most significant cultural tsunami bearing down on America you might opt for the obvious ….. The extended 3-point line in NCAA BB …. the first POTUS with a Kenyan biological father …. Gil Grissom leaving CSI-Las Vegas …. etc. If you said “the eminent demise of daily newspapers”, BINGO! Pick any prize off of the front row.

“That guy” & Lennie – VOL. TWO

….. Rarely have back-to-back columns generated such reader response. I should write with my eyes closed while listening to Tom T Hall on my Ipod more often. Who knew? The response to both columns reached Obamic levels (oops, sorry about that polit-slip!). BobLee peels the “that guy” and “who’s Wilt” onions a few more layers.

Interview With “The First One”

Today we set a precedent for this website. After 1,250 columns, this will be our first “interview”. What a choice for our subject. ….. Six months ago FloydTurbo was “an old Johnny Carson character”. Then a local floundering newspaper began offering on-line reader comments and VOILA – FloydTurbo emerged out of the cyber ether. ….. BobLeeSays welcomes Mr. FloydTurbo.

Is It Over Yet?

… I paid my sincere tribute to Kay Yow within 24 hours of her passing last weekend. My remarks today are not about Kay Yow AT ALL …… but about our national preoccupation with mourning. I call it Princess Diiiiiiiiiiiii Forever.

Peacocks In A Graveyard

Part Two of BobLee’s exclusive interview with media martyr FloydTurbo. Part One, available on the BLS home page, drew a large response from BLSays readers. Many remarked that The N&O “threw FloydTurbo in Uncle Remus’ briar patch”. To which Floyd replied “Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee A” .

TunnelVision2: “OUR fans would never ____”

There was another incident in The Free Expression Tunnel at NC State. That darn tunnel is sure getting lots of attention lately. One can’t turn around these days without a new definition of “free expression” over there. This latest incident involved a memorial to the late Kay Yow.

Two Spikey-haired Tammies

….. The year was 1998. The place was St Louis, Missouri. Two men were employed by the local NFL team – The Rams. Fate had major treats in store for both men ….. their ultimate boyhood dreams to be fulfilled. This is not their story. This is the story of their wives ….. Brenda and Dawn ….. two spikey-haired Tammies.

A Whole Lot of Sports News
