The Morning Buzz: Wednesday, Feb. 28
It's The Morning Buzz, where you never know what subjects we'll hit. But you know you won't be able to turn away, because you never know what's coming next. This show is all about you, SportsNation. It's your morning water cooler. Talk about what you want -- I take your lead. So settle in and enjoy!
Buzzmaster (7:02 PM)
No rest for the weary around here! On Wednesday, fresh off our 19 people chatting, we'll host 16 more people, highlighted by seven draft prospects - Adam Carriker, Alan Branch, Brian Robison, Lorenzo Booker, Ryan Kalil, Michael Griffin and Justin Blalock! Mel Kiper will be by to tell you where all of those prospects will fall in the draft. And Scott Burnside has your day-after NHL trade deadline analysis. It all starts with me, Buzz, at 10 a.m. ET!
Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Gooooooooooood morning!
Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Welcome to my morning chat, where I will be chatting wearing a Tennessee cheerleader outfit.
Keith (PA)
So waking up this morning, would you rather see your name on the Hollywood madam's client list or on the steroid distribution list?
John (Dallas)
Buzz, what is up with Florida, did the Dickey V comments hurt them?
Derek (Hershey)
Morning Buzz, Happy Hump Day!!
Hende (OH)
Sounds like the hottest trade deadline in sports history went down yesterday, and I didn't recognize a single name traded. What sports was that, bocce?
Steve Dallas, TX
G'day Buzz! It is 76 degrees here today and it is absolutely beautiful!
Justin (Ohio)
What was more disturbing? Bruce Pearl shirtless or Pat Summit in a cheerleaders outfit.
stevie g (aa)
I never knew how bad the Tennessee fight song was until I saw Pat Summitt pull a William Hung.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
I can't wait for people to call tomorrow Feb. 29th. Someone does it every year.
Joe (Cincinnati)
Heyyyy Buzz!!!
Justin (Boston)
Good morning and good luck.
Kellan (DC)
Buzz, I have a meeting scheduled for 10:30. I think SN should start a movement to ban all meetings between the hours of 10 and 11 am.
ben (dc)
Buzz! How excited are you for: ACC Wednesday presented by Staples: Atlantic Coast Conferences Basketball - Maryland vs. Duke HD tonight on ESPN?
Luke (Nashville)
Buzz last night I was forced to watch a montage of nasty leg injuries with my eyes forced open and Beethoven's 9th playing like A Clockwork Orange.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Only 16 chats today Buzz? That's not Division I chatting.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
17. We just added Stuart Scott at 5.
John (Dallas)
Buzz, wearing a t-shirt and am out side a coffee shop.
Eddie (Jacksonville)
Whatsup....Was it just me or was Pat Summit really hot in that cheerleader outfit...oh it's just me?
Mitch (Morrisville, NC)
I guess that's better than you with your shirt off and painted orange Buzz.
Josh (Philly)
From now on, I'm officially invoking the Gary Sheffield "Witch Hunt" defense anytime I get caught at anything - for example: Officer-Do you know why I pulled you over?Josh(Philly)-I don't care why you pulled me over, officer, I'm not participating in your speeding witch hunt.
Ryan (NJ)
Buzz, Congradulations on bringing a hockey man in the day AFTER the deadline. Your like a weather man, no matter how messed up things get, you somehow keep your job.
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
Hey, did you not see Barry Melrose chatting yesterday, Ryan? Or should I just call you Mr. Banned For the Day.
stevie g (aa)
just wait till you see Buzz in his field hockey uni.
Rob (Portland, OR)
After seeing Pat Summitt in a cheer leading skirt, can I request that we NOT talk about lunch? I lost mine last night.
Tom (Ann Arbor)
Buzz, when is Scott Burnside chatting?
Buzzmaster (10:03 AM)
4.
Sledge (Bham, AL)
Buzzy had Melrose in here yesterday an hour after the deadline.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Do these hockey criricisms even bother you Buzz?
Kevin (Manassas)
HA HA HA....take that Ryan.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
After all those deals yesterday, I had to make sure I wasn't traded.
Justin (Boston)
ESPN treats its hockey guys like Latvian interpretors. "So Barry Melrose, what's the little round thing again? It's called a puck? Oh."
RC (Cincy)
Thanks for the weather update Steve - we still don't like you!
Benji (Cedar Falls, IA)
Buzz, the feds are knocking at my door. Do I have to tell them anything?
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
It's a witch hunt. Don't say anything.
stevie g (aa)
I believe Ryan elects to go by the name Whiny
Robert (Raleigh NC)
That Barry chat was great. Too bad none of my questions got posted. Oh well - guess I should ask better questions next time.
Buzzmaster (10:05 AM)
They were flooding in. That's the most questions I've ever seen for a hockey chat.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
The only problem with a Melrose chat is the complete lack of mulletness. He needs his own little cartoon face like Shanoff used to have.
Matt (College Park)
Who told Pat Summitt it was ok to wear that outfit? Why do they still have a job?
Travis (Canada)
Buzz, what happened, you find out your not Anna Nicole's baby daddy and then you go out a start killing all the honey bees? Millions died and the farmers are saying up to 50% of all crops could be effected!
Tom (Ann Arbor)
Wow. A ban threat 5 minutes in. Could be a long day.
Mark (OK)
Do you recomend an ice pick or acid to get that image out of my head Buzz?
Luke (Nashville)
Carriker nice get Buzz that dude is a monster for my alma mater
Benji (Cedar Falls, IA)
So much for a slow time for sports. Buzz follows up a 19 chat knockout with a 16 chat effort. Solid.
Chad (Savannah, GA)
Buzz I am actually dissapointed by todays line up it seem kind of like a "filler" field today.
Justin (Glendale, AZ)
Buzz, just when i thought you couldn't do anything dumber, you go and get Melrose to chat yesterday...and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF! Good job all around yesterday.
Mike (Charlotte)
Buzz, another job well done, you are really earning your keep around here.
Buzzmaster (10:07 AM)
I have to make up for the summer, when chats are hard to come by.
Sledge (Bham, AL)
*Breaking News* Robert (Raleigh NC) has been traded to Manassas for a Crock Pot and a Pop Tart to be named later.
Marcus (Hartford)
the over/under on durant's points tonight is 30...i'll take the over...actually, i'll always take the over
Benji (Cedar Falls, IA)
I like the camera cuts to Phil Fulmer last night. What, does he have something planned too? Please. No.
Michael (New York)
I have to be there for the 3:30 chat with my namesake.
Jalter (College Park)
Dick Vitale does a Hooters commercial. Is there no one else that thinks that's hilarious.
Steve Dallas, TX
Buzz, all yesterday I was Waaaaaaanted Dead or Aliiiiiiiiive!
Mitch (Morrisville, NC)
Will Mel Kiper's Big Board fit into the chatroom today Buzz?
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
Nah. He has to check it at the door.
Jalter (College Park)
Buzz, look out for a guy wearing Red tonight in Cameron
DC (Altoona, PA)
Is it just me or is Barry Melrose the absolute coolest man walking the face of the earth? Now there is a guy worthy of a man crush.
Pete (Philly)
Breaking news....Melrose is father of Anna Nicole's baby!!! I knew it all along.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
So, Buzz, are you smarter than a fifth grader?
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
I'd like to think not.
Marcus (Hartford)
every time they panned to jeff saturday he was drinking...why wouldnt he be, look at that beard
JK (INDY)
Speaking of CROCK POTS, I can't wait to get home. Oh yeah...dinner is going to rock tonight
Will (Minny via AZ)
Filler? Filler? You want a day off or something pal? THIS IS DIVISION ONE BROTHER!! IF YOU WANT A DAY OFF GO CHAT INTRAMURALS. DAY OFF...
Tom (Ann Arbor)
I need to give props to JA Adande. Yesterday on Around the Horn he implored the rest of the panelists to not be concerned about Spring Training (PRACTICE) when the NCAA season is winding down.
Hende (OH)
Yesterday's chat lineup makes today's look like its President's day again.
Jalter (College Park)
Buzz, any words of wisdom on Hobbes' notion of liberty for me? Division 1 chathletes shouldn't have to take tests.
ben (dc)
i heard jalter's parents traded him out of the basement for a pool table...sucks buddy, but i think they made the right call...
Justin (Ohio)
Jalter, Hilarious? No. Creepy? Yes.
Shaun (Madison WI)
I think Jeff Foxworthy has had more failed network TV vehicles than the cast of Seinfeld
Jeff (Iowa)
Sounds like Jalter is planning to escape the basement tonight.
Michael (New York)
Because if Michael Griffin's middle initial is J, it will be very freaky.
Marcus (Hartford)
the crock pot= a man's savior...you just throw a bunch of stuff in there and it miraculously comes out good like 5 hours later
Josh (Philly)
Every time someone on this chat does a "coaching rant" joke, I realize how much I miss Jim Mora Sr. Of course, that's probably because he never coached my team.
Shaun (Madison WI)
Got a teryaki pork roast in the crock pot back home as we speak
Benji (Cedar Falls, IA)
The crock pot is the microwave's arch rival.
DC (Altoona, PA)
Does Mel Kiper's dad go around introducing himself as Mel Kiper Sr.? These are the things I need to know.
Shaun (Madison WI)
I can't do Diddly-Poo with my posts today...I suck
Justin (Boston)
I'd like to be some kind of D3 football or minor league coach just so I could go on a tirade.
Neal (Philly)
If only I had realized the beauty of the crock pot in college.
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
Would a crock pot have been allowed in the dorms? They didn't allow hot plates. These are the questions I lay awake at night thinking about.
Steve (NJ)
Damn, Buzz, I figured my Hobbesian rant was a sure-fire post. I mean, why else did I get a BA in Philosophy?
DC (Altoona, PA)
Speaking of coaching rants... no one, and I mean no one, will ever top Bob Knight's 'game face' press conference. That is a classic.
J (MN)
I'm not sure what elementary school those kids went to, but I can honestly say I wasn't memorizing Presidential facts and most algebra until after 5th grade.
Jeff (MN)
The don't allow beer in dorms either Buzz . . .
Jonathan (Buffalo)
Buzz, if you hide it, how will they know. They allow microwaves, why not a crock pot.
Keith (Grand Rapids)
I believe the toaster oven is the microwaves arch rival Benji, also proper grammer would state that the arch rival does not belong to the microwave...
Scott (Boston via NJ)
I'm in college now. WHat the hell is a crock pot?
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Neal, Ramen noodles taste the same in the Crock Pot as they do any other way. Just trust me.
JK (INDY)
TODAY's CROCKPOT - Chicken, Rice, Potatos, Carrots, Green Peppers, a little onion, and some random spices....I feel like an artist.
Benji (Cedar Falls, IA)
If I were a lower division coach I would tirade everyday and twice on Sunday just to get some ESPN exposure.
Brian (NYC)
Do you guys hear Mel's answers in his chat's in voice.....me neither
ryan (tampa)
please lord, let the bucs get CJ, i don't care if they have no one to throw the ball to him, he can throw it to himself
John (Dallas)
Nice use of Diddly-Poo in a post.
Jeff (Iowa)
Pace yourself, Ryan, the draft is still about eight weeks away.
Tom (Ann Arbor)
Why would you cook Ramen in a crock pot? Seems like a waste of time when you microwave it.
Jeff (Cleveland)
I know that Chester A Arthur was the 21st president...only from watching Die Hard with a Vengence.
Steve Dallas, TX
Hey Buzz, who was the first U.S. President to be impeached?
Buzzmaster (10:16 AM)
What is this a pop quiz? Heck no. I'll take a pop tart. That's about it.
Proper Grammer (Buzz chat)
What? I've never been here or spoken to any of you people before.
Calvin Johnson (Georgia)
Tampa's QB is Chris Simms, I'm gonna HAVE to throw it to myself.
Steve Dallas, TX
Well, that question proves Buzz is not smarter than a 5th grader.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Just a little Crock Pot humor Tom.
Steve (Orlando)
Got to work today and there was an ambulance out front. Walking in I see the Paramedics rushing in to the female bathroom??Is it wrong that I started laughing thinking someone passed out while making a ?twosie??
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Hey Proper Grammer - might want to learn proper spelling. its grammAr.
Jeff (Iowa)
Is Proper Grammer related to Kelsey Grammer?
Kellan (DC)
I know, I know...call on me Buzz! It's Andrew Johnson
Travis (Canada)
Buzz and the Nation, I might not be as smart as a fifth grader, but my teenage boys are stronger then them and will kick that fifth graders butt, if they say anything about my dumbness!
Sledge (Bham, AL)
All I know is that those 5th graders may be smarter than me, but i have a car, money, beer, and can beat them up. I win.
Tim (ATL)
It was Jackson!
Pete (Philly)
not Andrew Johnson...Charles Logan dammit!!!
Hende (OH)
Me flunk English? That's unpossible.
stevie g (aa)0
Matt Millen is not as smart as a 5th grader.
Spelling (Buzz Chat)
What? Proper Grammar doesn't have proper spelling?
Fred (VT)
Hey Buzz, the NHL trading deadline action yesterday was 1000% more exciting than the NBA's version. Next year can we get Burnside to chat instead of blog?
BJ Carmel, Ny
Its not wrong if you laugh...Its wrong if you dont.
Matt (College Park)
Sledge, do you feel good about being able to beat up 5th graders? Kudos to you, sir!
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
I do. Whoop those fifth graders Sledge!
Sledge (Bham, AL)
Buzz, since ESPN is the Illuminati of the Sports World, can you guys force Matt Millen to draft CJ just for the humor factor?
Jeff (MN)
Proper Grammer and Spelling have no place in Buzz chat. Go back to tormenting 5th graders you two!
Justin (Boston)
I once made fun of a 10-year-old because his parents were divorced. He had it coming, he spit on my car.
Sean (Philly)
I was just given a deep fryer, so I will only be able to post for another three months before I have a heart attack.
Dan (Cleveland)
It's 20 minutes in to the chat and the Cubs haven't been brought up yet?
Buzzmaster (10:21 AM)
Why, Dan. Why?
Chris Hansen (Dateline)
Hi Buzz, I am doing a new special about on-line chatters making threats against 5th graders. It's nice to meet you and SN.
Justin (Ohio)
How many 5th graders do you think you could take. They come one at a time with no weapons. I say 50 wouldn't be impossible
Matt Millen (Detroit)
I start scouting Wide outs when they hit 5th grade
Steve (Orlando)
Beating up 5th graders is better than hitting on them...just my two cents
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
OK. I think we need to abruptly change sugjects. Anyone have any ideas?
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
Oh I was just here to talk. i promise I wasn't going to punch that 5th grader.
Scott (Boston via NJ)
I don't make threats. I will SERIOUSLY punch a 5th grader in his head.
Mike (Chicago)
hahaha, good thought Steve.
John (WI)
It's 20 minutes in to the chat and the Yanks/Sox haven't been brought up yet?
Dan (Cleveland)
Oh - did I actually type that about the Cubs?????
Kevin (Manassas)
At your request....Only 33 days until Opening Day for the Cubs!
Todd (Waterloo Canada)
Ya where is Kevin and his ticker?
Shaun (Madison WI)
Anyone else hear about this 10 year old in the UK who's 198 lbs...they don't show you those kids on the McDonalds commercials
Buzzmaster (10:24 AM)
Seriously. And the mom feeds him buttered bread and french fries and all this other crap. HELLO.
Mark(HOF City)
Not sure where Justin lives, but 5th graders here do not travel alone or NOT have weapons.
stevie g (aa)
Do we get a separate countdown till Pinnella steals his first base and kicks dirt at the ump?
Tom (Ann Arbor)
Wouldn't it be more correct to countdown the number of days until Wood or Prior is out for the season?
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
It's too hard to count in negatives.
Benji (Cedar Falls, IA)
10 year old in the UK that's pushing 200? That's nothing. In the U.S. we have 4 year olds pushing 2 bills.
Steve (NJ)
I'm 28 and I don't weigh 198 lbs
ryan (tampa)
198 pounds in the uk, thats at least 265 american
tom* (parkville, md)
198 lbs? I think George Mitchell and his witch hunters should be called in to investigate.
Mark(HOF City)
And what were that kid's parents doing while he got that big???
Buzzmaster (10:27 AM)
Duh. Obviously feeding him McDonald's 8 times a day. You know, being good parents.
Keith (NY)
hahaahhahahaha ryan gets comment of the day.
John (WI)
That kid could EASILY get his own reality show or spot in a Subway commercial.
Jeff (Cleveland)
8 times a day? I bet he's got a boatload of cool Happy Meal toys.
Jeff (MN)
His parents got absolutely the wrong message from "Super Size Me."
Wes (G-ville,fl)
5th graders, crock pots and 198lb kid were cooking now...
Scott (Boston via NJ)
Who cares about some fat British kid??? Did anyone know that LeBron has a kid named LeBron James Jr? I wish that was my name.
Ronald McDonald (Good ol' U.S.A.)
We have signed affidavits that the kid only ate Burger King.
Brad (NM)
Yeah but that's also like 8 toys a day if you're goin the Happy Meal route Buzz...two birds, one stone.
pat (his cubicle)
and now intruducing the new 2005 volkswagon 10 year old english kid
ben (dc)
c'mon guys, hes not fat he's just 'big boned'
Luke (Statesboro, Ga.)
If this kid's parents would cook with a crock pot and feed him pop tarts, he wouldn't be 198 lbs.
Hende (OH)
Did you see the latest release from the authors of Game of shadows? Bonds' jersey went from 40 to 52 and his shoe size went from 10.5 to 13 while he was in San Fran. Maybe it's Burns' nerve tonic causing giganticism.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
(Whistle Sound) Technical foul on Sledge for yesterday's NFL draft chat.
Allen Iverson (Denver)
We talking 'bout a fat British Kid, not a fat american kid, but a fat British kid.
Jeff (Iowa)
If you were a parent, why in the world would you let a TV camera into your home? You are not going to come out of that interview looking like Mother of the Year.
Sledge (Bham, AL)
He's 8 years old, 5 feet tall and weighs 218lbs.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
Hey Buzz I lost 10 lbs. I now weigh fat minus 10.
Barry Bonds (San Francisco)
I won't cooperate with this chat if Hende in Ohio sticks around.
Denny (Orlando)
Our lunch chats last 10 mins. That kid NEVER stops chatting about meals.
Jeff (Farmington, CT)
he can sell all his happy meal toys when hes 40 and get some gastic bi-pass surgery, so really in the end its a win win
Jeff (Iowa)
I think those Game of Shadows authors need to lay low for a while and just be glad their snitch came forward and they aren't eating macaroni and cheese in the joint.
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
And how do you know they serve mac 'n' cheese in the joint, Jeff? Hmmmmm?
Mitch (Morrisville, NC)
I wonder if that Ten year old bodybuilder could bench press the fat brittish kid?
Jeremy (Boston)
So, I saw Livingston's injury on Tivo-PTI....Awesome....so Awesome, I had to force the GF to watch. She almost threw up. (and I knew that would be her reaction).
Scott (Boston via NJ)
If it was extra cheesy, jail wouldn't seem so bad.
Matt (NJ)
In the joint its shank or be shanked
Benji (Cedar Falls, IA)
I don't think Mac n' Cheese in the joint was what they were worried about.
Marcus (Hartford)
if they make that mac and cheese in a crock pot, i'm ready to do something illegal
Jeff (MN)
Probably the generic mac and cheese too.
Jeff (Iowa)
I worked part-time as a jailer in college. Mac and cheese was a jailhouse staple.
Buzzmaster (10:36 AM)
You were jailed part-time in college?
Tal (Boston)
Mac and Cheese in the oven takes the prize
Tim (ATL)
mmmm.... mac and cheese. I might make some of that for dinner now...
Joe (Cincinnati)
Gimme Velveeta Shells and Cheese, I don't eat Mac' n' powder
Mitch (Morrisville, NC)
Do they have Pop-tarts in the Joint?
Mark(HOF City)
Seems we have a Mac 'n Cheese snob amongst us.
Josh (Philly)
Had a roommate in grad school who was a guard at Rikers for a while...he had a lot of stories, but for some reason, Mac and cheese never came up...
Maurice Clarett (the joint)
Yeah...we have Pop-Tarts here.
Travis (Canada)
Buzz, I was in jail once, heck I did not even have bail money to get out, but then I rolled doubles and when pass go to collect the $200 bucks and that changed my life for the good!
BJ Carmel, NY
Mac and Cheese is overrated...guacomole deserves their spot.
stevie g (aa)
I'll take a nice 7 layer dip
Matt (College Park)
I had a professor that was the warden at Riker's for like 20 years...he never mentined mac and cheese
Buzzmaster (10:41 AM)
What kind of college did you go to? The warden's your professor? Jailhouse U.?
JK (INDY)
I am totally cracking up about Maurice Clarett
Tim (ATL)
Mac and cheese and Guac need not compete - they both deserve their place at the table, and in my belly...
Matt (Philly)
buzz...criminology class!
Travis (Canada)
Crowbar academy!
Hende (OH)
Sounds like Riker's is a popular spot for Modern Academia.
Jeff (Iowa)
Matt went to Miami, Buzz.
Jordan (Peoria)
SN prison potluck...I will bring the fried chicken. You always have to have fried chicken at a potluck
Mitch (Morrisville, NC)
I've gotten thrown in the "drunk tank" in jail several times and there was no Mac and cheese in there! Just a smelly blanket.
Buzzmaster (10:43 AM)
You're mother must be proud.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Speaking of Wardens, the Warden from Shawshank Redemption is on 24 next week.
Matt (Grand Rapids)
Two boxes of mac and cheese (velveta not the powdered stuff) is equal to a box of pop tarts in prison currency.... or so I've heard.
Justin (Boston)
Buzz, it's probably for a criminal justice class...did you go to clown college?
Buzzmaster (10:44 AM)
It was more of a university than a college.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
I was in jail for a long time. I called the warden obtuse and he made my life miserable. It ended up ok, I chiseled my way out and he shot himself.
BJ Carmel, NY
Whatever college the Majority of the Bengals went to.
Rick (Plainville CT)
Velveta cheese sucks, all forms of it
Justin (Ohio)
I wasn't smart enough for college. Criminology class? Do they teach you how to commit crimes?
Mitch (Morrisville, NC)
Not proud enough to buy me McDonald's 8 times a day. What do i have to do to earn her McDonalds lovin?
Tom (MIZZOU)
What is the SN consensus on 24's President, is he dead or will he make it? If he makes a full recovery by the end of this season that would be ridiculous.
Buzzmaster (10:45 AM)
End of the season? He'll be OK by the next episode.
Tom (MIZZOU)
WHOA! No one, and I MEAN NO ONE, hates on Velveta cheese.
Hende (OH)
This chat's moving along nicely today. Morris must be back on the wagon.
Shaun (Madison WI)
It took Andy 19 years to get out of Shawshank and Michael Scofield about a month...advantage: Scofield
Luke (Statesboro, Ga.)
Let's not forget Andy got a library at Shawshank, he deserves some credit for that.
Sledge (Bham, AL)
I went to jail once, I had to bail out Buzz.
Hende (OH)
If I got to listen to Morgan Freeman's voice everyday I might not be in a hurry to leave either.
Mike (Coos Bay, OR)
yeah, but Scofield knew in advance that he was going in and had the schematics tattooed on his body. That's cheating.
Josh (Philly)
Of course, that's probably because Michael Scofield didn't have to stop every 30 seconds while Morgan Freeman narrated every aspect of his life.
Tim (ATL)
the question is whether assad is dead? I think he's alive, but banged up. chad lowe is gonna get busted up...
Mike(Charlotte)
Time to talk lunch, It just may be a Subway day
Marcus (Hartford)
i think morgan freeman could narrate the end of existence and we'd all stay calm
Jonathan (Buffalo)
Gotta put Palmer on the IR. Powers Boothe is a great backup, and can lead 24 to a fantastic finish.
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
10 minutes until everyone says they are having mac and cheese for lunch.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Chicken and Dumplings again today in the cube-farm...
Fat Kid (UK)
10 MINUTES!! My favorite time of the day is here!
Mitch (Morrisville, NC)
I know what i'm having for lunch. 8 servings of McDonalds to make up for lost time.
Jeff (MN)
Pizza for lunch today Buzz. Proud to say it's the first time in like 3 weeks I am going out for lunch.
Joe (Cincinnati)
Barbecue Chicken with stuffing and mashed PO taters
Joe (Huntsville,AL)
I watched that whole penguin movie just because Morgan Freeman narrated it. It was pretty good...
JK (INDY)
Rib patty sandwich and fries
John Travolta (Hollywood)
Royalllll with cheese.
Brian Madison, WI
Co-worker's birthday, Qdoba is the lunch of choice, that burrito is going to be sweet.
Kevin (Manassas)
I am still working on that 100lb burger from a couple days ago.
Robert (Raleigh NC)
speaking of prison, I eat at a prison cafeteria almost everyday. A full meal with salad meat 2 sides and drink for 5 bux. We've never had Mac and Cheese for the record.
Scott (Boston via NJ)
LUNCH BELL!!! Mac and cheese, Mac and cheese, Mac and cheese, Mac and cheese, Mac and cheese.
Will (Minny via AZ)
2nd time this week my computer has booted me from the Buzz because the Flash is messed up...freakin Lance and his power surges are getting to my computer.
JB Chicago
In honor of Nebraska'a Adam Carriker chatting, I will eat some corn. I will not however eat a wolverine in honor of Alan Branch.
tom* (parkville, md)
We have a lunch meeting with catered Indian food. I hate curry. Could be unpleasant.
Josh (Philly)
Chicken Caesar Wrap - Potential vendor stopped by and brought free food. Everything tastes better when it's free.
Travis (Canada)
Subway, for the third day in a row! All I have to say is that Jared lied!
ben (dc)
i cant believe no one here eats that new fridays bacon cheese burger that is covered with an additinal layer of fried cheese...i thought that would be right up this crowd's alley, but i havent heard it mentioned once!
Steve (Charlotte)
Salad so I do not turn into a Fat kid from the UK
Denny (Orlando)
In honor of MacandCheese, going to Boston Market- chicken, Mac and mashed potatoes.
Morgan Freeman (Hollywood)
I woke up this morning...was feeling pretty good. Swung my legs to the side of the bed...and put on my slippers...my slippers felt good on my feet...so I got up and put on my robe...
Hende (OH)
Zatarain's microwave rice meal. Then later I'll start chewing on the inside of my cheek cause I'll be starving.
Justin (Ohio)
Skyline Chili's 3 way chili.
Steve (NJ)
I'm smoking a pig for lunch. An entire pig. Who's in?
DC (Altoona, PA)
Two words.............Panera Bread (Yes.... DC is going in style today my friends).
Buzzmaster (10:54 AM)
Good call DC.
ryan (tampa)
fridays closed down in my neighborhood, now it's some place called fuego's
Benji (Cedar Falls, IA)
Travis, Jared didn't have every kind of dressing, extra mayo and two cookies.
Kellan (DC)
Buzz, I'm back for lunch talk, unfortunately my lunch for today is not worth mentioning
Chad (Savannah, GA)
I've had the Bacon Mushroom Melt from Wendy's 3 days in a row now.. I don't know if my stomach, or heart, can take another day..I migh just have to do a salad
Jeff (Iowa)
If you are honoring Adam Carriker, you need to eat some corn-fed beef, grilled to perfection over red hot coals, the sizzle sending your senses into high gear.
John ( Richmond, VA)
I'm having baked spaghetti!!
Brad (NM)
The voice of the Keebler Elf died..I need milk and cookies..STAT
Scott (Boston via NJ)
Cheesy bacon cheeseburger does sound like a great idea Ben.
Justin - (Glendale, AZ)
Buzz, do you concur with me that Panera Bread is OVER Rated
