I continue to be completely stunned by the garbage quality of online and app content from the Hornets. it's so unprofessional across the board. some of the personalities are likeable, but content is RIFE with mic problems, thoroughly crappy interviewing, website problems, app problems, vanishing content, STILL after several years.

I simply cannot believe they continue to move forward with the quality such as it is.

The price of the graphics card, I bought a month ago is now selling for almost 100$ more today because of the Etherium boom. Not a good time to build a pc.

When I first heard about this, I was thinking about selling my RX480 that I got a year ago for $200 but now buying a new graphics card is now so damn expensive that it's not even worth it.

I can't wait to see Cam, Run CMC and Samuel do their thing and Benjamin hopefully not be fat. :( I'm so excited over the Hornets draft that I almost forgot we have the Panthers season first, that is a first!

I have incredibly high hopes for McCaffrey entering the season, I dont think I've been more excited over a prospect since Luke Kuechly, and even then as an offensive skill position player I'm even more excited. I can't wait to see play action plays where we have a 3 rb and where 1-2 rb's shift to the slot on the play.

First day of games (today) airs on Fox Sports 1 tomorrow night at 8. I plan to set the DVR. Apparently White Chocolate already got hurt. Those old dudes will be dropping like flies.

Um is that the new standard or a throwback?

Also... it's the best jersey in the league and may be the first one I've ever bought

Pretty sure that is either an alt or fake. We don't use that logo.

We're supposedly moving to a throwback as the alternate. Heard that a few weeks ago.

My PS3/Laptop became noticeably outdated around the same time so I rationalized it as killing 2 birds with one stone. (My PS3 couldn't get through Last of US cut scenes anymore\Tablet had essentially filled my personal laptop niche most everything else I use a computer for I want more than one screen)

I went with the high-end of the mid-range cards (lowest cost R580 8gb), but my is still blown at what my PC can do graphically. Can't really beat the price\performance of consoles though, and I'm going to be sad when Last of US 2 comes out.

Speaking of Last of Us, I am finally getting around to playing the Last of Us bonus content - Left Behind. I think I'm about done with it. Such an amazing game.

Our alternates would be killer and I would buy one if they brought the pinstripes back. Kemba and Monk will look so freaking sick in those

Home uniforms are my favorites, those and the Hawks probably have the best in the league. I'd change the purple ones to say Charlotte and the light blues to say Hornets.
