Between you and me we have almost a full set. I've got a bunch of the recent ones - Kemba, Lance and Al - and also Kelly Tripucka.

Adam Morrison is the only one that looks remotely accurate.

Fun fact: Only three Hornet contracts reside in the 100 highest salaries of the 2014-15 season.

I say "contracts," because only two of the three actually play for us.

Why the hell would they abbreviate us "CHO?" It's CHA.

EDIT: I guess they did it because the name switch made things all screwy? And they used CHA for the Bobcats and CHO for the Hornets? Shrug.

I'm sure we made history by being the first team whose abbreviation is also our GM.

Spoiler:
basketball reference used CHH for the original hornets, CHA for the lolcats, and CHO for the current hornets

Quite a week for the poor mother in law, her partner died of cancer on Saturday, then her brother dies this morning from heart attack.

Should buy a lotto ticket as that luck has to change

Matt Rochinski is apparently the Director of Interactive Media for the Hornets, and also has an impressive check in history on untappd if you're a beer nerd. I could be friends with that guy.

I've tried to become friends on there with others on here, but no one other than Lamar or Sach wanted to. I guess people want to keep some of their stuff private, which is fine and dandy. I'm an open book. Don't really care.

The pic of Davis is sexier than the pic of Upton IMO.

The boob press, the shape of her torso (especially her stomach to pelvis area) and the "come hither" look on her face, not to mention the "peek-a-boo" pull down on the bikini bottoms............. :drool:

The pic of Decker is sexier than the pic of Brinkley as well IMO.

Either way, I'm smash all 4 of them.

I'm so damn addicted to the WWE network now. If I'm not watching NBA, College ball or the Sens play hockey I'm pretty much a lock to be watching the WWE network.

The Stone Cold podcast with HHH was awesome. I LOVE hearing about all the behind the scenes stuff. Same with JR interviewing the Hitman and the Heart Break kid and them talking about their heated and hated past. So honest.

Amazing stuff.

The only crappy thing so far has been the Legends House - which is just dumb.
